What Explains the Differences of Elasticity by Export Sector 7. Principal Export Products in a Selection of Latin America Countries; ReferencesThis paper analyses the evolution of Chile's trade between 1990 and 2007, studying in particular the impact of trade liberalization in addition to traditional price and demand determinants. The results show that export and import flows are mainly responsive to external and domestic demand, and less so to relative prices, although there is a small impact on imports. In addition, the analysis suggests that trade liberalization may have played a role in increasing exports and imports. Estimations of trade elasticities for other countries in Latin America tend to confirm the results found for Chile.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/128ExportsChileImportsChilePricesChileExports and ImportsimfForeign ExchangeimfEconomic TheoryimfTrade: GeneralimfTrade PolicyimfInternational Trade OrganizationsimfAgriculture: Aggregate Supply and Demand AnalysisimfPricesimfInternational economicsimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfEconomic theory & philosophyimfExportsimfImportsimfTrade liberalizationimfReal effective exchange ratesimfDemand elasticityimfCommercial policyimfElasticityimfEconomicsimfChileCommercial policyChileimfExportsImportsPricesExports and ImportsForeign ExchangeEconomic TheoryTrade: GeneralTrade PolicyInternational Trade OrganizationsAgriculture: Aggregate Supply and Demand AnalysisPricesInternational economicsCurrencyForeign exchangeEconomic theory & philosophyExportsImportsTrade liberalizationReal effective exchange ratesDemand elasticityCommercial policyElasticityEconomics338.0983Monfort Brieuc1493461DcWaIMFBOOK9910788320003321Chile3747511UNINA
