rent seeking with politically contestable rights to tariff rate import quotas
Review of International Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Jana Hranaiova, Harry De GorterAbstract:This paper analyzes rent seeking for agricultural import quotas and the associated waste of resources when politically contestable licenses are allocated to either or both importers and Exporters. In a two -stage simultaneous contest where firms rent seek for licenses and then bargain over the import/Export Price, it is shown that (1) rents are not dissipated completely because of uncertainty in allocation of rights, (2) the dissipation ratio increases if the country with a more competitive contest increases the probability of establishing licenses, (3) rent seeking may cause the market structure to change, (4) less rent is dissipated in the case of pre-existing market power, and (5) allocation of multiple licenses decreases rent-seeking outlays.

is Export Price adjustment asymmetric evaluating the market share and marketing bottlenecks hypotheses
Journal of International Money and Finance, 1994Co-Authors: Michael M KnetterAbstract:Abstract Export Price adjustment is asymmetric with respect to currency fluctuations in at least two circumstances. If firms face capacity constraints in distribution networks or quantitative trade restrictions, then pricing-to-market may be greater during depreciations of the Exporter's currency. If firms attempt to build market share subject to the threat of trade restrictions, then pricing-to-market may be greater during appreciations of the Exporter's currency. This paper tests for asymmetries using panel data on German and Japanese 7-digit industry Exports. The data seldom reject the hypothesis of a symmetric response of Prices to exchange rates.

industry specific real effective exchange rates and Export Price competitiveness the cases of japan china and korea
Asian Economic Policy Review, 2013Co-Authors: Kiyotaka Sato, Junko Shimizu, Nagendra Shrestha, Shajuan ZhangAbstract:This paper constructs a new dataset of the industry‐specific real effective exchange rate, based on the producer Price indices, for Japan, China, and Korea on a monthly basis from January 2001 to February 2013 in order to provide a better indicator for Export Price competitiveness. By conducting simulation analysis, we found that Korean electrical machinery firms substantially improved their cost competitiveness by lowering their production costs during the Korean won appreciation period, while Japanese firms' large plant investment caused by management misjudgments led to excessive production capacity, which resulted in the deterioration of Japanese Export competitiveness. A structural vector autoregression analysis also reveals that industry differences of cost competitiveness as well as nominal exchange rate changes have significant impact on Export performances of Japan and Korea.

exchange rate appreciation and Export Price competitiveness industry specific real effective exchange rates of japan korea and china
2013Co-Authors: Kiyotaka Sato, Junko Shimizu, Nagendra Shrestha, Shajuan ZhangAbstract:This paper constructs a new data set of the industry-specific real effective exchange rate (REER), based on the producer Price indices, of the Japanese yen, Korean won, and Chinese renminbi on a daily basis from 2005 to the present in order to provide a better indicator for the international Price competitiveness of the three countries. We show a large difference in the level of REER not only between the countries but also across industries. By conducting factor decomposition analysis of industry-specific REER, it is revealed that a substantial fall in domestic producer Prices during the won appreciation period has enhanced Korean firms' Export competitiveness compared to Japanese firms, especially in the electrical machinery industry. In contrast, Japanese automobile firms do not lose Export competitiveness with respect to their Korean counterparts, due to the relative decline of domestic production costs.

Export Price discrimination in europe and exchange rates
Review of International Economics, 2002Co-Authors: Salvador GilparejaAbstract:The paper studies pricing-to-market behavior on a wide range of disaggregated European Union Exports to OECD countries. The sample allows better identification of products for which such behavior is pervasive. The results suggest that the degree of markup adjustment in response to exchange rate changes is similar across destination markets. The evidence of pricing-to-market across source countries ranges from 40% (Netherlands) to 63% (Germany) of the products in the sample, except for the United Kingdom, where there is remarkably little evidence of it. However, formal comparisons across source countries by product do not usually reveal differences in behavior.
