Payments
Trang 31 Concept
Balance of Payment(BP) is a statistical record of all
economic transactions between residents of the
reporting country and resident of the rest of the world during a given time, usually a year
• It reveals how many goods and services the country has
been exporting and importing and where the country has been borrowing and lending money to the rest of the
world
• Domestic and foreign residents, residents comprise
individuals, households, firms and the public authorities
• Conditions of a country‘s resident (domestic resident):
- Staying time > 12 months
- The residency country‘s income
• If anyone is not enough two above conditions is
considered as foreign residents

is domestic and foreign residents:
• Residency and citizentship are not necessarily the same
• International organisations such as IMF, WB, ADB so on
are foreign residents, even though they actually are
located in the reporting country
• Ambassies, military bases abroad, the oversea students,
tourists so on are foreign residents
• Multinational companies are definition resident in more
than one country
Trang 51 Concept
the BP is that it must involve a transaction
between a resident of the reporting country
and a resident of the rest of the world
domestic residents or foreign resident and
foreign resident are excluded in the BP
• Home currency (developed countries)
• USD or Euro (developing countries)
• SDR (IMF)

Reflecting errors of statistics during record
transactions of current account and
capital account (statistic discrepancy)
Due to:
• An impossible task to keep track of all the transactions
between domestic and foreign residents
• Many reported statistics are based on sampling derived
from separate sources
• Desire to avoid taxes, some transactions are
underreported or illegal transactions

Trang 335 Elasticity and Absorption
Approaches
Concept:
• The elasticity approach examines how exchange rate
induced changes in the relative prices between domestic and foreign goods affect ceretis paribus the trade
balance
• The elasticity approach emphasizes price changes as a
determinant of nation‘s balance of payment and
exchange rate
• The elasticity approach is helpful in understanding the
different outcomes that might arise from short to long term
Trang 34TS Nguyễn Phúc Hiền - ðại học

Elasticity Approach
the percentage of change in exports over the percentage
change in price as represented by percentage change in
exchange rate.
the percentage of change in imports over the percentage
change in price as represented by percentage change in
exchange rate.

Trang 35Elasticity Approach
Martin Feldstein (Economic Aadviser of the
Present) 1985: „To remedy our trade deficit, the real value of the dollar must decline by enough to reverse its nearly 70 percent rise in the past five years“
Transformation of theory into Economic Policy
• Sep 1985 Plaza Agreement: Appreciation of Yen and DM
against the Dollar (elasticity optimism)
• Since 2001 Pressure on China to appreciate the Yuan
(The Case for New Plaza Agreement, Cline 2005)
Trang 36TS Nguyễn Phúc Hiền - ðại học
• In case of depreciation of the domestic currency, exports
become c.p cheaper in terms of foreign currency
• In the short term quantities do not adjust, only price in
foreign currency decline Nominal exports decline c.p
• In the longer term the export volume rises because of
lower prices in foreign currency Nominal exports rise as well
• Trade balance deteriorate first and improve afterwards

Pass-Through Analysis
Concept
exchange rate changes are transmitted on the import prices in foreign currency
from country to country
Different Degrees of Pass-Through
(in domestic currency) equals the exchange rate change
(producer currency pricing)
stay constant (pricing to market)
change less than exchange rate‘s change
Trang 39(2) Absorbtion Approach
Concept
• In contrast to the elasticity approach, the absorbtion
approach does not define the current and financial
account balance as a result of exchange rate changes
• Instead, the balance of domestic production (Y) and
domestic spending-absorbtion (A) matters
• „A country‘s net foreign trade balance is equal to the
difference between the total goods and services
produced in that country and the total goods and
services take off the market domestically“ (Alexander
1952, 264-265)

(2) Absorbtion Approach
Absorbtion
• The absorbtion A equals all goods, which are „absorbed“
by the domestic market, i.e Consumption (C),
investment (I) and government spending (G)
• A = C+I+G (1)
Derivation of the Current Account Balance (CA)
• Y equals the overall domestic (net) production of goods
and it holds Y = C+I+G+X-M (2)
• Substituting (1) into (2) it implied Y-A =X-M=CA (3)
Reference to Savings
• From Y-C-G = S(saving) → Y = S+C+G (4)
• It implied S-I = X-M=CA (5)
Trang 41(2) Absorbtion Approach
Implication
• The current account balance reflects the difference
between domestic supply and demand (saving and
investment)
• If an economy produces (saving) more than demand
(investment) the current account balance is positive
• If an economy produces (saving) less than demand
(investment), the current account balance is negative
