Interventionism, Microeconomic Reform and the External Deficit

Anthony Makin

Australian Economic Review, 1992, vol. 25, issue 1, 15-21

Abstract: This article argues that interventionist policies aimed at encouraging export or import‐competing industries would not, of themselves, eliminate external deficits under the existing floating exchange rate regime. Similarly, improved productivity and changes in competitiveness are also likely to render microeconomic reform ineffective as an instrument for influencing the external account.
