Impact of terms-of-trade on Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Croatia in the short runSzomolányi, Karol (Avtor) Lukáčik, Martin (Avtor) Lukáčiková, Adriana (Avtor) innovationterms-of-tradebusiness cycleSlovak economyCzech economyCroatian economytrade balanceThe terms-of-trade shocks are not main source of business cycles in three post-communist countries (i.e., Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Croatia). The zero or negative reactions of the trade balance in terms-of-trade positive shocks in the countries exhibit the Obstfeld-Svensson-Razin effect, according to which the Harberger-Laursen-Metzler positive effect on terms-of-trade indicates that the smaller the trade balance, the more persistent the terms-of-trade shock is. The conclusions come from the structural vector autoregressive analysis of the cyclical components of terms-of-trade, trade balance, output, consumption, and investment in three post-communist countries.20172017-11-13 15:23:04Znanstveno delo68933ISSN: 0547-3101UDK: 339.5:330.33.01OceCobissID: 751364COBISS_ID: 12763676DOI: 10.1515/ngoe-2017-0001ISSN pri članku: 0547-3101NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:5DVGKQSSsl
