Description

This paper examines the role of the Exchange rate in determining the short and long run trade balance behavior for Colombia testing the BRM and ML conditions, and the J-curve hypothesis. It uses a regression model formulation which includes income and money so that the monetary and absorption approaches to the balance of payments are also examined.
