Analysis of export and import flows in Brazil's trade with China and the US, revealing significant asymmetries.
This study investigates the asymmetric impacts of real bilateral exchange rate volatility on Brazil’s export and import flows. The analysis focuses on Brazil’s trade with the United States and China, disaggregated by two-digit industry classifications (99 sectors), covering the period from 2000 to 2017. The main findings reveal asymmetries in both exports and imports: 12.12% and 9.09%, respectively, in Brazil–US trade; and 10.10% and 8.08%, respectively, in Brazil–China trade.
