全球价值链的兴起引发了学者们关于汇率与贸易之间联系是否依然存在的争论。本文将Penn World Table数据和World Input-Output数据进行匹配,利用2000—2014年间全球43个主要经济体的汇率波动与贸易增长数据探析全球价值链中的汇率传递...全球价值链的兴起引发了学者们关于汇率与贸易之间联系是否依然存在的争论。本文将Penn World Table数据和World Input-Output数据进行匹配,利用2000—2014年间全球43个主要经济体的汇率波动与贸易增长数据探析全球价值链中的汇率传递机制。研究发现:(1)实际汇率的变动对进出口价格、进出口值及出口增加值的变动都产生显著影响,本币实际升值1%将提升出口增加值0.312%,汇率与贸易之间的联系依然很大;(2)除了汇率传递的价格机制之外,汇率波动也通过调节生产率,倒逼经济主体技术进步,促进出口增加值的增加。本文计量结果显示全要素生产率(TFP)在汇率波动与出口增加值增长之间发挥显著的中介效应。本文提出人民币实际升值及人民币汇率市场化形成机制的建立并不意味着出口地位和出口利益的下降,同时通过汇率传递的生产率效应保持中国的贸易竞争力。展开更多
