Abstract

Our study develops a model of the balance of trade, which is a function of domestic (U.S.) and foreign real GDPs, exchange rate of U.S. dollar , and monetary policy (credit easing) dummy. We then empirically test the model on a panel data for the U.S. and BRICS countries over the period, 1995-2014, and find that the Fed’s quantita tive easing has no effect, whatsoever, on U.S. balance of trade. - Il nostro studio sviluppa un modello di bilancia de i pagamenti in funzione del PIL reale interno ed estero, del tasso di cambio del dollaro USA e del credit easing . Successivamente effettuiamo test empirici sul modello tramite dati panel per gli USA e paesi BRIC nel periodo 1995-2014 e i risultati indicano che il quantitative easing della Federal Reserve non ha effetti di alcun genere sulla bilancia dei pagamenti USA.
