when you say it looks like a J, does that mean its like a phillips curve reversed horizontally?Originally posted by cakes
J curve- looks like a J, where the y axis is the current acct balance, x axis being time
and it shows the impact of a depreciating $AU on the balance of payments in the short run and long run
so as the exchange rate increases, the CAD increases? doesnt that depend on how much loss in exports is offset by the amount saved in aus dollar terms on servicing liabilities through valuation effect? in that case, i dont think you can make it into a model.Originally posted by cakes
