Abstract
The present paper uses a structural gravity approach, specifying currency movements as component of trade costs, in order to derive an empirical trade balance model, which incorporates multilateral resistance terms and accounts for the cross-country variation in the magnitude of the exchange rate pass-through into import and export prices. The model then is estimated using quarterly bilateral trade flows between 47 countries, disaggregated into 97 commodity groups, over the period 2010Q1-2017Q2. The results support the existence of a pooled J-curve across countries and commodity sectors; at the same time they point to considerable heterogeneity in the effects across countries and industries below the surface of aggregate data.
