Exchange Rate Volatility and Exports: Regional Differences between Developing and Industrialized Countries

Review of International Economics, 2001, vol. 9, issue 1, 133-152

Abstract: This study uses a large panel of industrialized and developing countries to investigate the link between exchange rate volatility and exports. Although the empirical literature on this relationship is extensive, a clear consensus about its nature and importance is yet to emerge. Using fixed‐ and random‐effects models to capture cross‐country differences, pooled export equations are estimated for the entire panel and various subsets of countries. The results, which are robust across different volatility measures, indicate that negative effects exist for LDC exports, especially from Latin America and Africa, but not for exports from Asian LDCs or industrialized countries.
