Balassa-Samuelson Effect in the CEECs?
This paper offers a detailed assessment of the Balassa-Samuelson (BS) effect in eight Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC8). Several features distinguish this study from others: First, we investigate a variety of specifications of extended models. Nonhomogeneity of wages, deviations from PPP in tradables and demand side variables are found to importantly contribute to explain inflation...
متن کاملThe Price of Development: the Penn-Balassa-Samuelson effect revisited∗
The Penn-Balassa-Samuelson effect is the stylized fact about the positive correlation between cross-country price level and per-capita income. This paper provides evidence that the price-income relation is actually non-linear and turns negative among low income countries. The result is robust along both cross-section and panel dimensions. Additional robustness checks show that biases in PPP est...
متن کاملThe Penn-Balassa-Samuelson Effect in Developing Countries: Price and Income Revisited
It is conventional wisdom that richer countries have a higher price level than poorer countries. This paper provides evidence that the price-income relationship is non-linear and that it turns negative, or at best flat, in low income countries. The result is robust along both cross-section and time-series dimensions. Additional robustness checks show that biases in PPP estimation and measuremen...
متن کاملExport of Deindustrialization and Anti-Balassa-Samuelson Effect: The Consequences of Productivity Growth Differential
This paper focuses on productivity growth differentials between manufacturing and services, deindustrialization, and changes in the real exchange rate. Using a Ricardian trade model with a continuum of goods that introduces nontraded services, the paper investigates these interrelationships. The main results are as follows: (i) if deindustrialization proceeds in both home and foreign countries,...
متن کاملThe data of GDP and exchange rate used in the Balassa–Samuelson hypothesis
