Triangular Exchange Rate Parities and u.s. Wheat Exports (United States)

This study deals with the effects of exchange rates on U.S. wheat exports. The role of exchange rates is examined in the context of an econometric model of foreign demand for U.S. wheat in which U.S. wheat exports are disaggregated into exports to Less Developed Countries, Socialist Countries and the rest of the world. The structure of the model emphasizes foreign demand determinants rather than domestic excess supply ones. The results suggest that exchange rates between the U.S. and its competitors especially Canada, influence U.S. wheat exports more than the U.S. exchange rates vis-a-vis its farm customers.
