Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominal rigidities due to menu costs have become a standard element in closed economy macroeconomic modeling. The 'New Open Economy Macroeconomics' literature has investigated the implications of nominal rigidities in an open economy context and found that the currency in which prices are set has significant implications for exchange rate pass-through to import prices, the level of trade and net capital flows, and optimal monetary and exchange rate policy. While the literature has exogenously assumed in which currencies goods are priced, in this paper we solve for the equilibrium optimal pricing strategies of firms. We find that the higher the market share of an exporting country in an industry, and the more differentiated its goods, the more likely its exporters will price in the exporter's currency. Country size and the cyclicality of real wages play a role as well, but are empirically less important. We also show that when a set of countries forms a monetary union, the new currency is likely to be used more extensively in trade than the sum of the currencies it replaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, originally published in 1937, Jacob Viner traces, in a series of studies of contemporary source-material, the evolution of the modern orthodox theory of international trade from its beginnings in the revolt against English mercantilism in the 17th and 18th centuries, through the English currency and tariff controversies of the 19th century, to the late 20th century. The author offers a detailed examination of controversies in the technical literature centering on important propositions of the classical and neo-classical economists relating to the theory of the mechanism of international trade and the theory of gain from trade.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most trade is invoiced in very few currencies. Despite this, the Mundell-Fleming benchmark and its variants focus on pricing in the producer’s currency or in local currency. We model instead a ‘dominant currency paradigm’ for small open economies characterized by three features: pricing in a dominant currency; pricing complementarities, and imported input use in production. Under this paradigm: (a) the terms-of-trade is stable; (b) dominant currency exchange rate pass-through into export and import prices is high regardless of destination or origin of goods; (c) exchange rate pass-through of non-dominant currencies is small; (d) expenditure switching occurs mostly via imports, driven by the dollar exchange rate while exports respond weakly, if at all; (e) strengthening of the dominant currency relative to non-dominant ones can negatively impact global trade; (f) optimal monetary policy targets deviations from the law of one price arising from dominant currency fluctuations, in addition to the inflation and output gap. Using data from Colombia we document strong support for the dominant currency paradigm.

This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets by Philipp Hartmann of the European Central Bank is a major theoretical and empirical study of international currencies, which focuses on the role which the Euro will play in the international monetary and financial system along with the US dollar and the Japanese yen. In contrast to much of the existing literature which approaches the subject from a macroeconomic perspective, Philipp Hartmann develops a theoretical model which uses game theory, time series and panel econometrics, and links financial markets analysis with transaction cost economics. The results of Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets are presented with reference to political, historical and institutional considerations, and provide accessible answers to policy-makers, business people and scholars worldwide. The sections on Spread Estimation and Multiple Vehicles with Inter-Dealer Price and Entry Competition will be of particular use for finance professionals.

This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1903. 'The present work is an attempt to restate, in a more complete form, the doctrines of the classical English school on an important and difficult branch of political economy... The theory of international trade has, therefore, been selected for exposition as being one of the products of the older political economy which is well worth preserving, and one, moreover, which is peculiarly suited for students, both on account of its intricacies and the logical processes employed, as also by reason of its bearing on the old, but still unclosed, controversy respecting the comparative merits of ""protection"" and free-trade.'

Excerpt from text: SINGE the last edition of this book appeared the subject of International Trade has come into unex pected prominence. In the phraseology lately fashion able ithas jasi3ed: fem: the domain of academic discussion into the position of a burning question. This change is not altogether favourable to its treat ment in a scientific manner. The greater part of the writing in the press and periodical literature is certain to be crude and illinformed, the product of persons who have not taken the trouble to study the general principles that underlie the more obvious features of foreign commerce. The intrusion of party feeling is a further disturbing influence. Where established principles stand in the way of a particular proposal its supporters will at once declare their disbelief in what they call abstract theory though they will readily use any of those principles that can be so distorted as to appear to serve their pifrpose. It is, therefore, the more necessary to insist on the indispensableness of a general theory for the correct interpretation of the complicated phenomena of foreign trade, and also on the connection of that theory with the principles of economics as a whole. Without the assistance of such a theory success is impossible with its aid a consistent account of the mass of .facts, otherwise so perplexing, can be supplied. The changes in the present edition have been slight, and consist in additional illustrations or notices of criticisms which seemed to require consideration. C. R BASTABLE. TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN, llth July 1903. FKOM PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION THE present work is an attempt to restate, in a more complete form, the doctrines of the classical English School on an important and difficult branch of political economy. That school has been severely criticised from several different standpoints, and there need be no hesitation in admitting that the whole body of economic science stands in need of a thorough revision, and, in some of its parts, an entire recon struction. But it is not, therefore, incumbent on us to throw aside the more solid portions of the older building: it will rather be expedient to utilise all sound material already existing, and, as far as possible, to preserve that continuity of development which is one of the notes of a truly scientific system. The theory of international trade has, therefore, been selected for exposition as being one of the products of the older political economy which is well worth preserving, and one, moreover, which is peculiarly suited for students, both on account of its intricacies and the logical processes employed, as also by reason of its bearing on the old, but still unclosed, controversy respecting the comparative merits of protection and freetrade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume grew out of a National Bureau of Economic Research conference on exchange rates held in Bellagio, Italy, in 1982. In it, the world's most respected international monetary economists discuss three significant new views on the economics of exchange rates - Rudiger Dornbusch's overshooting model, Jacob Frenkel's and Michael Mussa's asset market variants, and Pentti Kouri's current account/portfolio approach. Their papers test these views with evidence from empirical studies and analyze a number of exchange rate policies in use today, including those of the European Monetary System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Ricardo’s theories have been widely studied and discussed, including the prominent theory on comparative advantage. Ricardo and International Trade looks at the ongoing renaissance of the Ricardian international trade theory. The book’s interpretation brings fresh insights into and new developments on the Ricardian international trade theory by examining the true meaning of the ‘four magic numbers’. By putting together theories of comparative advantage and international money, the book attempts to elucidate Ricardo’s international trade theory in the real world. This book also features contributions from the Japanese perspective and compares Ricardian theories with those of his contemporaries, such as Malthus, Torrens and J. S. Mill. This book will be a valuable reference for researchers and scholars with interests in history of economic thought and international economics.
