Do devaluations improve or worsen the terms of trade?
Article Abstract:
Stern (1973) posited that devaluation could improve or worsen the terms of trade, depending on the ratio of the product of elasticities of exports and imports. A cointegration technique applied to data from 25 countries for the period 1973-1988 is used to test the theory. Empirical results fail to show a long-term relationship between exchange rate and the terms of trade.
