The role of real exchange rate changes and redistribution of world expenditures in international macroeconomic adjustment is as old as the economics science. A truth is that both the forces are simultaneous and will continue to play the key role in the process of international adjustment. A large number of literature estimated trade effects of real exchange rate changes and shifts in relative incomes and drew policy implications for the resolution of global payment imbalances. Only a few studies, however, considered the phenomenon of international organization of production into the modeling of trade equations. The consideration has an important implication. It is that exports by country are recorded on a gross basis rather than as value added and therefore the domestic value added is only a part of the gross value of the exports. An appreciation by the exporting country per se will affect only the domestic value added but not the gross value. But a joint appreciation by countries supplying intermediate goods will increase the dollar cost of intermediate goods imported into the exporting country. This book proposes a clear framework to this end and documents consistent estimates of trade effects of real exchange rate changes and shifts in relative incomes.
