At the same time, however, the U.S. trade and currentaccount deficits remain large and, absent a significant correction in coming years, wouldcontribute to a further accumulation of U.S. external liabilities. The paper discusses thetension between these two aspects of the dollar assessment, and what factors can helpreconcile them. It focuses in particular on the terms of trade, adjustment lags, andmeasurement issues related to both the real effective exchange rate and the current accountbalance. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/260 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zUnited States 606 $aBalance of payments$zUnited States 606 $aBudget deficits$zUnited States 606 $aDollar, American 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aCurrent Account Adjustment$2imf 606 $aShort-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aEmpirical Studies of Trade$2imf 606 $aInternational Investment$2imf 606 $aLong-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aReal effective exchange rates$2imf 606 $aCurrent account deficits$2imf 606 $aTrade balance$2imf 606 $aCurrent account balance$2imf 606 $aExternal position$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aBalance of trade$2imf 606 $aInternational finance$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aForeign exchange rates 615 0$aBalance of payments 615 0$aBudget deficits 615 0$aDollar, American. 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aCurrent Account Adjustment 615 7$aShort-term Capital Movements 615 7$aEmpirical Studies of Trade 615 7$aInternational Investment 615 7$aLong-term Capital Movements 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aReal effective exchange rates 615 7$aCurrent account deficits 615 7$aTrade balance 615 7$aCurrent account balance 615 7$aExternal position 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aBalance of trade 615 7$aInternational finance 676 $a332.450973 700 $aMilesi-Ferretti$b Gian$01462146 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788342003321 996 $aFundamentals at Odds?
