Engine of Growth : The ASEAN-4 caseCicek, Sevim January 2009 (has links)
Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, and Thailand, have all chosen outward-oriented strat-egy over inward-oriented strategy to gain economic growth. This approach was due to the Asian miracles development. Therefore, protectionism had to cave in (Edwards, 1993). This thesis aim with the help of income terms of trade and GDPCAP to study the relation between trade and growth for these countries mentioned. Therefore, see if income terms of trade would work as an engine of growth for these countries. The purpose is to find a posi-tive correlation between the variables. ITT capture the price and volume effects when trade increases. That is why, ITT is used in this thesis, for the purpose that exports alone cannot explain growth if imports are left out. Time series was conducted with help of a unit root test, co-integration, and Granger causal-ity test. In each test made, the result provided showed of statistically significant values, hence, ITT is of relevance for growth in these countries, during 1980-2006.

Essays in International FinanceValchev, Rosen January 2015 (has links)
<p>This dissertation addresses three key issues in international finance and economics: the uncovered interest rate parity puzzle in exchange rates, the home bias puzzle in portfolio allocations, and the surprising lack of correlation between terms of trade shocks and output in small open economies. </p><p>The first chapter shows that the much-studied Uncovered Interest Rate Parity (UIP) puzzle, the observation that exchange rates do not adjust sufficiently to offset interest rate differentials, is more complicated than commonly understood. I show that the puzzle changes nature with the horizon. I confirm existing short-run evidence that high interest rate currencies depreciate less than predicted by the interest rate differential. But, building on Engel (2012), at longer horizons (4 to 7 years) I find a reverse puzzle: high interest rate currencies depreciate too much. Interestingly, the long-horizon excess depreciation leads exchange rates to converge to the UIP benchmark over the long-run. To address the changing nature of the puzzle, I propose a novel model, based on the mechanism of bond convenience yields, that can explain both the short and the long horizon UIP violations. I also provide direct empirical evidence that supports the mechanism. </p><p>In chapter 2, I address the puzzling observation that portfolios are concentrated in asset classes which comove strongly with the non-financial income of investors. As an explanation, I propose a framework of endogenously generated information asymmetry, where rational agents optimally choose to focus their limited attention on risk factors that drive both their non-financial income and some of the risky asset payoffs. In turn, the agents concentrate their portfolios in assets driven by those endogenously familiar factors. I explore an uncertainty structure that implies decreasing returns to information, whereas the previous literature has focused on a setup with increasing returns. I show that the two frameworks have differing implications, which I test in the data and find support for decreasing returns to information. </p><p>In chapter 3, I address the puzzling lack of correlation between Terms of Trade (ToT) and the Small Open Economy (SOE) GDP. A SOE model typically relies on three sources of exogenous disturbances: world real interest rate, Terms of Trade (ToT) and technology. However, the empirical literature has failed to reach a consensus on the relative importance of the terms of trade as a driver of business cycles, with some papers claiming they are hugely important while others find no evidence of a relationship at all. Kehoe and Ruhl (2008) have recently shown that the weak empirical link between ToT and the GDP might be due to measurement limitations with the output series in an open economy framework. This paper merges data on national accounts with data on global trade flows for a panel of 31 countries and finds that Terms of Trade have a negligible effect on GDP but a strong effect on aggregate consumption. The evidence supports the hypothesis that ToT are important drivers of business cycles, but measurement issues with GDP obscure their relationship with real output. This further suggests that researchers should be careful when equating model output with measured GDP in an open economy setup.</p> / Dissertation

Has the optimal tariff theory ever been applied in the real world?Han, Wang January 1900 (has links)
Master of Arts / Department of Economics / Peri da Silva / Terms-of-trade argument (the optimal tariff theory) refers that a country with market power can gain national welfare when they impose a tariff for foreign exports and generate welfare at the expense of foreign trade partners. This argument has been long-term applied as an assumption in many theoretical trade models. Feenstra (2004) shows that the theoretical optimal tariff is equal to the inverse foreign export supply elasticity which implies if we can get the value of inverse export elasticity for each good then we can set up the optimal tariff to maximized our national welfare. Compared with the development in theory, the progress in the empirical study of terms-of-trade argument has been a bit stagnant until recent years. Christian Broda, Nuno Limão and David Weinstein (2008) show us an important empirical evidence that countries use market power when they set up tariff in their non-cooperative trade policy. And they estimate both import demand elasticity and export supply elasticity at the four-digit Harmonized System level by using 16 countries’ trade data and production data. In this report, we firstly introduce the theoretical basis of optimal tariff. Then we will discuss the contributions of Broda et al (2008) and other economists’ empirical findings of optimal tariff theory which applies Broda, Limão and Weinstein’s estimates of elasticities

Are the labor market conditions causing the terms of trade to deteriorate? : A statistical evaluation of the Prebisch- Singer hypothesis.Cederlöf, Jonas January 2012 (has links)
The study examines to what extent weak labor unions and an abundance of labor have a negative effect on less developed countries terms of trade, as hypothesized by Hans Singer (1950) and Rául Prebisch (1950). Using a sample from panel data for 74 less developed countries during the period 1980 – 2010 in OLS-regressions with fixed effects, I find some evidence that weak labor unions and abundance of labor is negatively correlated with the terms of trade, which could be interpreted in favor of the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis. The marginal effect of an abundance of labor also appears to have less negative impact on the terms of trade as labor unions grow stronger.
