LONG RUN Major: Finance and Banking Major code: 60.31.12 THESIS OF MASTER IN ECONOMICS ACADEMIC SUPERVISOR: Ph.D NGUYEN VAN PHUC HO CHI MINH CITY – 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to send special thanks to all the teachers who gave interesting lecture to me for their devoted instruction during my studying in this master course I am specially thankful to Ms Ha Thi Thieu Dao for her precious data without which I could not finish this study and for her carefully reading, editing and detailed comments on my study I express my profound sense of gratitude and sincere thanks to Mr Nguyen Van Phuc, academic supervisor, for suggesting research problems, giving valuable guidance and providing constant encouragement I am particularly indebted to my family, especially my mother and my daughter, who have given me great emotion and encouragement i ABSTRACT This study shows the short and long-run impact of exchange rate on trade balance in Vietnam Following a depreciation of real exchange rate, trade balance initially deteriorates Trade balance will improve after two quarters and new equilibrium will be set after twelve quarters Johansen’s cointegration analysis and autoregressive distributed lag (ADRL) are respectively used to explore long-run impact, giving similar estimation results, showing trade balance improvement following a depreciation Corresponding error correction modes (ECM) based on long-run cointegration equations also come to consistent results, indicating immediate deterioration of trade balance after a depreciation Impulse response functions based on ECM and unrestricted Vector AutoRegression (VAR) exhibit J-curve pattern of trade balance when there is a permanent depreciation Key word: exchange rate and trade balance, cointegration, autoregressive distributed lag, J-curve ii CONTENTS Acknowledgement i Abstract ii Content iii List of tables vii List of figures viii Abbreviations ix CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1
