Abstract

This survey is about the relationship between exchange rate variability and international trade. It extensively covers the empirical work accumulated over the last ten years and presents the basic model behind it: Hooper and Kohlhagen (1978). It also briefly discusses some recent developments on the theoretical framework founding this relation. Ce survol critique de la littérature sur la relation entre la variabilité des taux de change et le commerce international présente les fondements économiques de cette relation et fait le point sur l’évidence empirique accumulée au cours des dix dernières années (1978-1988).
