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...
