Title: The Canadian Border and the US Dollar: The Impact of Exchange Rate Changes on Cross-Border Retailers
Abstract: This paper provides a micro-level investigation into the impact of changes in the US-Canada real exchange rate on retail trade in US regions lying close to the US-Canadian border. Using a large data set on retail prices and sales in the United States over a nine year period, we explore the links between changes in exchange rates, cross-border travel, and the price and quantity responses of US retailers. This allows us to assess the importance of geography and distance in measuring the pass-through of exchange rate changes into prices and quantities at the level of the consumer. We develop a two stage theoretical model of cross-border travel and industry equilibrium for retail sales at the border. Our empirical results accord well with the implications of the model.
Michael Devereux is currently the professor in the Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia.
