Exchange Rate Cycles and Canada - U.S. Manufacturing Prices
Author: John R. Baldwin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The paper examines the industry characteristics that are related to the shifts in competitiveness, measured as the relative common-currency price ratios between Canadian and US manufacturing prices. We find that relative input costs and relative productivity growth are the two most important factors influencing changes in relative Canada/US prices. Competitive pressures emanating from trade are important determinants of the extent to which relative productivity differences are passed through to cross-country relative prices. We also find that the magnitude of domestic market competition and export intensity affects the short-run relative price shifts over the cycle of exchange rate.

Domestic and Foreign Influences on Canadian Prices Over Exchange Rate Cycles, 1974 to 1996
Author: John Russel Baldwin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780662441441
Category : Manufacturing industries
Languages : en
Pages : 27
Book Description
The paper examines the pricing behaviour of 81 Canadian manufacturing industries from 1974 to 1996. It explores the domestic and foreign factors that affect price formation in Canada and the circumstances in which Canadian prices respond to foreign (U.S.) influences (the law of one price), as opposed to domestic factors (i.e., labour, energy costs and productivity growth).

Exchange Rate Fluctuations and the Competitiveness of the Canadian Manufacturing Sector
Author: Mathieu Frigon
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 9
Book Description
The strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar over the past 10 years has led to numerous discussions in Canada about the "Dutch disease." This term refers to the notion that an economic boom in commodities leads to a rise in the exchange rate that harms the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector's exports. Eventually this phenomenon can lead to a fairly large-scale deindustrialization of a national economy. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the role that exchange rate fluctuations play in the changing competitiveness of the Canadian manufacturing sector. First, the paper analyzes changes in this sector in Canada and in selected industrialized countries. Next, for all of these countries, it examines the competitiveness of this sector, measured by unit labour cost, and compares the impacts of various factors, including the exchange rate, on this cost. Lastly, the paper draws some conclusions about the role of the exchange rate in the decline in the competitiveness of the Canadian manufacturing sector.

Modeling and Forecasting Primary Commodity Prices
Author: Walter C. Labys
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351917080
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Recent economic growth in China and other Asian countries has led to increased commodity demand which has caused price rises and accompanying price fluctuations not only for crude oil but also for the many other raw materials. Such trends mean that world commodity markets are once again under intense scrutiny. This book provides new insights into the modeling and forecasting of primary commodity prices by featuring comprehensive applications of the most recent methods of statistical time series analysis. The latter utilize econometric methods concerned with structural breaks, unobserved components, chaotic discovery, long memory, heteroskedasticity, wavelet estimation and fractional integration. Relevant tests employed include neural networks, correlation dimensions, Lyapunov exponents, fractional integration and rescaled range. The price forecasting involves structural time series trend plus cycle and cyclical trend models. Practical applications focus on the price behaviour of more than twenty international commodity markets.
