Exchange Rate Changes and Pricing Behavior of US Exporters

Author

  • Yang, Jiawen

Abstract

This paper studies export pricing behavior following exchange rate changes in US manufacturing industries. Through a monopolistic model, the paper predicts that export prices should change, but less than proportionally, in response to exchange rate changes if either or both demand elasticity and marginal cost are variable. Cross-industry variation of such price changes can be explained by the difference in demand elasticities between the domestic and the export markets, the elasticity of marginal cost with respect to output, and the export share. These predictions are supported by the empirical findings of the paper. Copyright 1996 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
