Estimation of the J-Curve Effect: The Case of Slovakia
Original language description
This paper empirically investigates the impact of change in exchange rate on export and import flows between Slovakia and its major trading partners. Devaluation or depreciation of a currency worsens the trade balance before improving it, resulting in aJ-curve pattern. This paper investigates J-curve phenomenon using quarterly time series data over the period 1997:1 to 2010:4. We apply the Johansen cointegration test to analyze the long run relationship between exchange rate and trade balance. Short term effects and the related J-curve effect is explored by estimating error correction model and by assessing the impulse-response function of the trade balance on the exchange rate shock. The results provide evidence that the classical J-curve effect doesnot exist in Slovakia. Instead, currency depreciation (increase in real effective exchange rate) is accompanied only by positive change in trade balance with no initial deterioration.
