This paper examines the extent to which changes in imports or exports of US consumer goods and services occurs in response to a change in the exchange rate, 1960-2000. The data used are taken from the Economic Report of the President, 2002. The findings indicate that an increase in the trade weighted exchange rate of about 1% is associated with an increase in import of consumer goods of approximately $1 bn the year after the change. The same level increase seems associated with a decline in consumer goods export of about $0.75 bn.
