PHAM THI TUYET TRINH, 2012. "THE IMPACT OF EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATION ON TRADE BALANCE IN SHORT AND LONG RUN"
   
Abstract:
This study shows the short and long-run impact of exchange rate on trade balance in Vietnam. Following a depreciation of real exchange rate, trade balance initially deteriorates. Trade balance will improve after four quarters and new equilibrium will be set after twelve quarters. Autoregressive distributed lag (ADRL) are used to explore long-run impact, showing trade balance improvement when real exchange rate depreciates. Corresponding error correction model (ECM) based on long-run cointegration equation indicates immediate deterioration of trade balance after a depreciation. Impulse response functions based ECM exhibit J-curve pattern of trade balance when there is a permanent depreciation.
