Abstract

[fre] Les études récentes qui examinent l'hypothèse de réponses identiques des flux de commerce aux variations dans les prix et les taux de change présentent des résultats contradictoires. Toutefois, ces études ne spécifient pas d'une manière adéquate les rôles des anticipations et des régimes de taux de change. Nous présentons un modèle de formation des attentes et l'appliquons au commerce bilatéral entre quatre pays industrialisés. Le même modèle est régressé pour la période de taux de change fixes (avant 1972), puis pour la période de taux de change flexibles. Nos résultats, qui indiquent que les échanges sont plus sensibles au taux de change qu'aux prix, peuvent s'expliquer par l'erreur d'observation implicite dans l'indice de prix utilisé et par l'effet des attentes des importateurs quant aux valeurs futures des prix et des taux de change. [eng] Expectations and the response. Et imports to price and exchange-rate changes. Leonard Dudley, Carole Trépanier. Recent tests of the hypothesis that trade flows respond in the same way to relative-price and exchange-rate variations have presented conflicting results. However, these studies have failed to specify adequately how expectations are formed under alternative exchange regimes. We present a model of the relationship between expectations and trade flows and apply it to the bilateral trade between four industrial countries. Our results, which indicate that imports are more sensitive to the exchange rate than to a commonly-used price index may be explained by an observation error implicit in the choice of price index and by the expectations of importers concerning future prices and exchange rates.
