This study proposes a new measure of tradability and examines its relationship with volatility of the sector-specic real exchange rate (RER). We derive degree of tradability from a model in which nal goods are produced from labor, capital and intermediate inputs. With free capital mobility, the...

This study documents empirical regularities related to structural changes in the exporting pattern and degree of competitiveness in selected Asian countries in the decade following the 1997 Asian crisis. We conceptually illustrate that the degree of competitiveness is determined by...

This study constructs a new measure of nontradability of goods and demonstrates that it can explain the sectoral heterogeneity of the variance of sector-specific real exchange rate depreciation. Our measure of nontradability is the share of labor costs, including those incurred in the production...
