Exchange-rate risk is often thought to reduce international trade flows, but numerous theoretical and empirical analyses have pointed toward positive as well as negative effects. This is particularly true when bilateral trade flows for individual industries are estimated. In this study, we extend the literature to the case of Japanese trade with China for 110 import industries and 95 export industries. Aggregate Japanese exports, but not imports, respond to real exchange rate volatility in the long run, while most individual export and import industries respond in the short run. Although many individual Japanese import industries are affected in the long run by risk, mostly negatively, this is even more the case for exporters. A larger proportion of Japanese export industries are affected by exchange rate uncertainty for most industry sectors. Manufacturing exports are particularly vulnerable to this risk, with a large share responding negatively to increased volatility.

Bilateral Trade Flows

This study is an investigation of view about the gross, bilateral, and value-added trades adjusting to exchange rate and income within global value chains. Various difference between aggregate and value-added trade flows is introduced. We adopt the traditional trade models and test them using time-series analysis on value-added exports and imports. We find that currency depreciation has negative effects on gross exports in the US and Korea due to intermediate goods imports, but positive effects on value-added exports in Japan and Korea. On the other hand, currency appreciation has negative effects on gross imports in the US, China, Japan and Korea due to intermediate goods exports, but positive effects on value-added imports in Japan. All income effects are positive as we expect. Also, we find the similar effects of exchange rate on bilateral trade flows. On the whole, depreciation has negative effects on gross exports but positive effects on value-added exports while appreciation has negative effects on gross imports but positive effects on value-added imports. With this study, the main contribution is further evidence on the value-added trade analysis. Practical implications reducing uncertainty could be an important policy objective to achieve higher growth.   Received: 23 October 2020 / Accepted: 16 December 2020 / Published: 17 January 2021

Abstract We study the effects of real exchange rate (RER) changes on trade flows considering the skill content and origin/destination of products in a North–South framework. The empirical analysis is based on bilateral trade flows in five product categories of technology-and-skill intensities between 172 countries during 1962–2012. Consistent with the development channel, we find that both the composition and direction of trade affect how exports respond to RER changes. We find that high-skill manufactures and primary goods are the least affected from RER depreciation and volatility. The strongest effects are found for medium-skill, low-skill and resource-intensive manufactures. We also show that these effects depend on the direction of trade. Southern exports are more sensitive to RER than Northern exports in all product categories except for primary goods. Regarding volatility, South–North exports are hurt the most while North–South the least. Also, South–South exports appear to be less sensitive to volatility in all product groups than South–North. Overall, this paper provides a synthesis of the recent neoclassical international trade literature with the heterodox development literature.
