A nonlinear ARDL model is employed to investigate the asymmetric drivers of non-oil trade in services between Nigeria and Netherlands. A significant number of past studies have concentrated their attention on the elasticity of trade in services to real exchange rates and income as well as on non-oil export, total export trade or import, yet none have delve into asymmetric relationship. This study aims to fills this void. Our result shows that the effects of exchange rate variations have both positive and negative displays with more negative asymmetry. This provides further insights in the nature of service asymmetries. (JEL Codes: C22, D43, E31, L71, Q41) Keywords: asymmetric cointegration, exchange rate adjustment, disaggregated, services

Previous studies that examined the impact of exchange rate misalignment on economic growth were based on the symmetric approach where both overvalued and undervalued exchange rates were supposed to affect the economic growth in a similar way. However, in recent years, a number of studies have established that exchange rate changes affect the trade flows in an asymmetric way. Hence, this study investigates the asymmetric effect of exchange rate misalignment on the economic growth of Pakistan. The findings of the study indicate that in the case of the symmetric approach, exchange rate misalignment has a negative impact on economic growth. However, after applying the nonlinear ARDL approach, the study finds significant evidence in favor of the asymmetric effect of exchange rate misalignment on economic growth. Interestingly, the results indicate that undervaluation spurs while over-valuation hampers the economic growth in Pakistan. The study recommends that though under-valued exchange rate may have temporary relief for the economy, yet in the long run, a market-based equilibrium exchanger rate is imperative for a developing economy like Pakistan.

Purpose – Previous research that investigated the effects of currency depreciation on the trade balance assumed that the adjustment of all variables in a given model is in linear fashion. The authors wonder if introduction of nonlinearity in the adjustment of some variables such as the exchange rate can shed additional light on evidence of the J-curve. The new approach also allows to test whether exchange rate changes have symmetric or asymmetric effects on the trade balance. Estimates of a trade balance model for Canada, China, Japan, and the USA reveal that the effects are indeed asymmetric. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology is based on linear and nonlinear ARDL approach. Findings – When nonlinearity is introduced into testing approach for the J-curve, more evidence is found in support of the J-curve. Research limitations/implications – The models are estimated using aggregate trade flows of each country with the rest of the world, hence they suffer from aggregation bias. Using trade flows at bilateral level and at commodity level are highly recommended for future research. Originality/value – This is the first paper that applies nonlinear ARDL approach to test the short-run and long-run effects of currency depreciation on the trade balance.
