| dc.description.abstract | Understanding the determinants of trade flows between countries is of particular interest to policymakers, central bankers, business owners and investors. The study examines the long-run impact of the real exchange rate, exchange-rate volatility, and output on the trade balances of 10 SITC (Standard International Trade Classification) sectors between three Visegrad countries and Germany. Because the linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach shows little effect across countries and sectors, we decompose the impacts into positive and negative changes via the Nonlinear ARDL approach. The paper adds value in the following respects. The first is that while the overall macroeconomic determinants have a relatively weak connection to these trade balances, the strongest connections are in the primary-product-producing sectors. The second finding is that while most of these trade flows often depend on the country, the sector analyzed, and the method used, there are interesting, stylized results, including the region’s chemical sector and manufacturing in Hungary, for example. The third finding is that nonlinear models show cointegration between the real exchange rate and the trade balance in Visegrad-Germany trade for a higher number of industries, even though the long-run coefficients continue to be insignificant in many cases. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Zrozumienie determinant przepływów handlowych pomiędzy krajami jest szczególnie ważną kwestią dla decydentów, banków centralnych i inwestorów. Artykuł bada długoterminowy wpływ realnego kursu walutowego i jego zmienności, jak również produkcji na bilanse handlowe 10 sektorów SITC pomiędzy krajami Grupy Wyszehradzkiej i Niemcami. W związku z tym, że liniowy model ARDL pokazał niewielki wpływ dla krajów i sektorów, przeprowadzono dekompozycję tych wpływów na wpływy pozytywne i negatywne za pomocą nieliniowego modelu NARDL. Artykuł tworzy wartość dodaną w następujących kwestiach. Po pierwsze, podczas gdy determinanty makroekonomiczne mają względnie słaby związek z bilansem obrotów bieżących, najmocniejsze zależności widać w podstawowych sektorach. Po drugie, chociaż większość badanych przepływów uzależniona jest od kraju, sektora, zastosowanej metody, badania wskazują na jednoznaczne rezultaty, na przykład dotyczące sektora chemicznego we wszystkich krajach oraz produkcyjnego na Węgrzech. Po trzecie, nieliniowe modele wskazują na występowanie kointegracji pomiędzy realnym kursem walutowym i bilansem handlowym pomiędzy analizowanymi krajami dla większości badanych przemysłów, choć długoterminowe współczynniki pozostają nieistotne w wielu przypadkach. | pl |
