. . ."What we actually see
is almost three times that move, suggesting that the main driver here is
the perception of permanent, or at any rate very long term European
weakness. And that’s a situation in which Europe’s weakness will be
largely shared with the rest of the world — Europe will have its fall
cushioned by trade surpluses, but the rest of us will be dragged down by
the counterpart deficits.
Now, this is not how
most analysts approach the problem. They make a forecast for the
exchange rate, then run this through some set of trade elasticities to
get the effects on trade and hence on GDP. Such estimates currently
indicate that the dollar will be a moderate-sized drag on US recovery,
but no more. What the economic logic says, however, is that if that’s
really true, the dollar will just keep heading higher until the drag
gets less moderate."
