Although considerable variations exist in the results, overall the generalized impulse response functions suggest that the MarshallLerner condition holds in the longrun with varying degree of Jcurve effects in the shortrun. 1. Introduction Many empirical analyses, both multi-c

Despite the plethora of theoretical and empirical research into how exchange rate changes affect trade balance, there is still considerable disagreement concerning the relationships between these economic variables and the effectiveness of currency devaluation as a tool for increasing a countrys balance of trade. Consequently, the effect of exchange rate changes on tra
