Depreciation in exchange rate linked to Pakistan's trade balance deficit.
The study looked at how trade balance in Pakistan is affected by income, money supply, and exchange rates from 1980 to 2011. They used a method called ARDL to analyze the data. The results showed that higher income and lower exchange rates lead to a decrease in trade balance in both the short and long term. Money supply affects trade balance in the long term but not the short term. The study also found a connection between trade balance and exchange rates and income in the long term, but not with money supply. The traditional trade balance rule called Marshal-Lerner Condition was not supported by the findings.
