Abstract

Ever since the implementation of the North America Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA, the nations that comprise it have experienced adverse economic and financial shocks. Starting with the 2008 financial crisis, there is an observable increase in the volatility of the real exchange rate in several nations, followed by an increasing amount of literature regarding the role of depreciation as a source of export competitiveness. The objective of this non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive and correlational research focuses on a methodological approximation to assess whether there is a statistically meaningful relationship between exchange rate and other variables that could affect the exports of NAFTA member countries, for which a GARCH (p, q) model is used. The results suggest that the real exchange rate of the Chinese Yuan, the income of the US and Chinese imports made by the region are the variables that best explain the behavior of exports of NAFTA members.
