The Korea‐Vietnam trade and the bilateral exchange rate: Asymmetric evidence from commodity trade data

Abstract

The contribution of the current article is to detect the asymmetric impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on Korea's trade with Vietnam. To this end, the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) process is applied to export and import data disaggregated by 25 commodities. We uncover that the ups and downs of exchange rates have an asymmetric impact on some, though not all, types of Korea's commodities exported to and imported from Vietnam in both the long-and short-run.

Influence Analysis of Real Exchange Rate Fluctuations on Trade Balance Data Using Feature Important Evaluation Methods

“…However, the literature also acknowledges challenges in identifying clear and consistent effects of exchange rate fluctuations on international trade. The studies [14][15][16][17][18][19]57,58] reveal the complexity of this relationship, with varying results across different contexts and periods.…”
