In the last decade China’s trade with Africa increased faster than its overall foreign trade. This paper focuses on the role of real exchange rates in this growth. A “bilateral real exchange rate” augmented trade gravity model applied to China’s trade with 49 African countries over the...

This article studies the effect of exchange rate regimes on the dramatic growth of the trade between China and Sub-Saharan Africa. A real exchange rate augmented gravity model shows that the exports of China?s manufactured goods are stimulated by the real depreciation of the renminbi against...

The relationship between the real exchange rate and urban/rural per capita real income disparity is modeled and applied in the case of China. Contrary to the effect usually expected, the model predicts that the real depreciation of the Chinese currency during the 1978-94 period may have raised...

L'article montre comment les modalités de la politique de change, dans sa double dimension (réglementation des opérations et taux de change), contribue à expliquer la forte dépréciation réelle de la monnaie. Il se fonde sur un modèle explicatif du taux de change réel qui intègre, à...

Although poverty has been significantly decreasing in China over the last twenty years, this decrease has been highly unequal across the provinces and has brought increased disparity in urban and rural per capita income. We studied the impact of exchange rate policy on urban-rural per capita...
