| Impact statement: The traditional way of assessing the impact of currency depreciation on the trade balance has been to estimate the elasticity of trade volume to relative prices. To this end, most previous studies used aggregate trade data. To avoid problems associated with using aggregate data, recent studies have relied on bilateral trade data. Since import and export price data are not available on a bilateral level, this study proposes an alternative way of assessing the impact of currency depreciation on bilateral trade flows. The models are applied between Japan and its nine largest trading partners using recent advances in time-series modeling. | Collaboration: Partner University | Keywords: Japan, Exchange Rate, Bilateral Modeling, Trade Balance |
