Abstract

This study attempts to identify the relationship between the real exchange rate and trade balance in Albania with its major trading partner Italy. Due to the severe lockdown and restrictions policies in response to Covid-19 measures, there were important effects on the evolution of trade. Quarterly data from 2008 to 2022 are used in several econometric methods such as unit root tests, cointegration techniques, Granger test, and vector error correction model (VECM). The main findings of this study are that domestic income and exchange rate show a long-run positive relationship to the trade balances. Devaluation of the domestic currency will improve the trade balance in the long run, consistent with the Marshall-Lerner condition.
新冠肺炎前后汇率与贸易平衡的关系——以阿尔巴尼亚为例
本研究试图确定阿尔巴尼亚与其主要贸易伙伴意大利的实际汇率和贸易平衡之间的关系。为应对新冠肺炎疫情采取的严厉封锁和限制政策,对贸易演变产生了重要影响。采用单位根检验、协整技术、格兰杰检验和向量误差修正模型(VECM)等计量经济学方法对2008年至2022年的季度数据进行了分析。本研究的主要发现是国内收入和汇率对贸易收支呈现长期正相关关系。从长远来看,本币贬值将改善贸易平衡,符合马歇尔-勒纳条件。
