Resumen
Descripción
The effects of the U.S. dollar exchange rate versus the Mexican peso are evaluated for four
traded nonfarm-produced inputs (fertilizer, chemicals, farm machinery, and feed) in the U.S.
Unit root tests suggest that the exchange rate and the four input price ratios support the
presence of unit roots with a trend model but the presence unit roots can be rejected in the first
difference model. This result is consistent with a fixed price/flex price conceptual framework,
with industrial prices more likely to be unresponsive to the exchange rate than farm commodity
prices.
