Staff Papers
June 01, 1999 -- IMF Staff Papers - September/December 1999 - Time Series Analysis of Export Demand Equations, by Abdelhak S. Senhadji and Claudio E. Montenegro
The paper estimates export demand elasticities for a large number of developing and industrial countries, using time-series techniques that account for the nonstationarity in the data. The average long-run price and income elasticities are found to be approximately -1 and 1.5, respectively. Thus, exports do react to both the trade partners' income and to relative prices. Africa faces the lowest income elasticities for its exports, while Asia has both the highest income and price elasticities. The price and income elasticity estimates have good statistical properties.
