为何重要
Exports are a big part of demand for open economies (Germany, China, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands). A larger surplus means more foreign demand for the the local currency; strong imports signal domestic demand. China's figures are read as a gauge of world demand.
计算方法
Customs records the value of goods crossing the border; services come from surveys. The balance is exports minus imports, usually seasonally adjusted.
Trade balance = exports − imports变化意味着什么
- Look at exports and imports separately: a wider surplus from collapsing imports is a sign of weak domestic demand, not strength.
- Exchange-rate moves take months to affect trade volumes (the J-curve).
高于预期：A larger surplus (or smaller deficit) than expected tends to support the the local currency.
低于预期：A smaller surplus (or larger deficit) than expected tends to weigh on the the local currency.
简史
Trade balances were the obsession of mercantilism in the 16th–18th centuries; David Hume's price-specie flow mechanism (1752) explained why surpluses tend to correct themselves.
