When and Why Worry About Real Exchange Rate Appreciation? The Missing Link Between Dutch Disease and Growth

Abstract: We review the literature on Dutch disease, and document that shocks that trigger foreign exchange inflows (such as natural resource booms, surges in foreign aid, remittances, or capital inflows) appreciate the real exchange rate, generate factor reallocation, and reduce manufacturing output and net exports. We also observe that real exchange rate misalignment due to overvaluation and higher volatility of the real exchange rate lower growth. Regarding the effect of undervaluation of the exchange rate on economi… Show more

“…Using conventional models, it was straightforward to show that shocks (be it in the form of inflows of remittances or new discoveries) resulted in an appreciation of the real exchange rate. According to Magud and Sosa (2010), assuming there is a relative price change and a capital-intensive manufacturing tradable sector-as opposed to a labor-intensive non-tradable sector-this relative price change triggers factor reallocation-out of manufacturing-and the appreciation of the real exchange rate, decreasing the competiveness of manufacturing tradable goods.…”

“…Recently, a new literature focusing on the relationship between the real exchange rate and growth has surged, in some cases proposing new channels (Magud and Sosa, 2010). For instance, motivated by the successful experiences of China and other eastAsian countries, the view that maintaining an undervalued or "competitive" real exchange rate may foster economic growth has been attracting adherents, which is an export-led growth strategy emerged, as a response to the failure of the import substitution growth strategy that started around the 1950s (Magud and Sosa, 2010). …”

“…Sin embargo, no está claro el vínculo posterior entre la apreciación real y una desindustrialización relativa (se puede encontrar una acertada revisión de la bibliografía sobre el síndrome holandés en Magud y Sosa (2010)). De hecho, en un artículo teórico de Buiter y Purvis (1983) se sugiere que un auge de los recursos podría tener un efecto positivo en las manufacturas, basado en la coexistencia de la apreciación real y de un crecimiento significativo.…”

“…Wpływa to negatywnie na konkurencyjność krajową i międzynarodową tych sektorów i przedsiębiorstw, które biorą udział w wymianie mię dzynarodowej, a nie są związane z przemysłem wydobywczym produkującym na eks port. Dodatkowo wahania cen na eksportowane surowce powodują wahania kursu waluty krajowej i wzrost niepewności, co jeszcze negatywnie odbija się na handlu zagranicznym i poziomie inwestycji zagranicznych (Lartey i in., 2008;Magud, Sosa, 2010).…”

“…Zalecane działania w sferze polity ki monetarnej i fiskalnej mające przeciwdziałać skutkom choroby holenderskiej dotyczą przede wszystkim ograniczania zadłużenia zewnętrznego (Rynarzewski, 1992) oraz nie dopuszczanie do aprecjacji waluty krajowej czy wręcz jej osłabianie (Magud, Sosa, 2010). Skuteczność tego ostatniego zabiegu jest jednak ograniczona, z dwu co najmniej powodów.…”
