Abstract

Applying the VECM and the GIRF, this article finds that when the relative CPI is employed, there is support for a J-curve for Germany and lack of evidence for a J-curve for Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. When the relative PPI is used, similar results are found. There are six different patterns of the response of the bilateral trade balance to a shock to the real exchange rate. Policy makers need to pay attention to different responses of the trade balance to real depreciation in the short run and long run.
