"International Crowding Out": Concept and Policy Implications

Author

Listed:
  • H. Peter Gray

Abstract

The overvaluation of a currency "crowds out" the tradeable goods industries of the country and enhances the profit rates of foreign competitors. This asymmetry can bring about long-term changes in the competitiveness of the country's tradable goods industries, as for eign firms are able to use the quasirents to increase market share through aggressive promotion and large-scale investment in plant, product design, and personnel. The economic costs of an overvalued currency exceed those recognized by Martin Feldstein and the Reagan Administration.
