Currency depreciation leads to output fall, price increase, and trade balance improvement.
The article explores the effects of induced currency depreciation on a small open economy. By using a model that considers both supply and demand-side effects of exchange rate changes, the researchers found that currency depreciation usually leads to lower output, higher prices, and improved trade balance. The impact of currency depreciation depends largely on supply-side effects, with weak effects resulting in a positive effect on output but a negative effect on trade balance.
