dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the relationship between real effective exchange rate and trade balance in the context of Nepal using the Engle-Granger cointegration test and Error correction model based on annual data from 1979 to 2019 and suggests that the variables are cointegrated and shows that real effective exchange rate and real GDP have a significant positive role in increasing trade deficit in the long-run but remittance has been found to have negative impact. The result of the Error Correction Model further indicates that in the short-run, the real effective exchange rate and the real gross domestic product have a positive effect but, the remittance has a negative and significant effect on the trade deficit. The Error correction term ECM(-1) being negative and significant indicates that the variables get converged into long-run equilibrium. | en_US |
