Title: The Canadian Border and the US Dollar: The Impact of Exchange Rate Changes on Cross-Border Retailers
Abstract: This paper provides a micro-level investigation into the impact of changes in the US-Canada real exchange rate on retail trade in US regions lying close to the US-Canadian border. Using a large data set on retail prices and sales in the United States over a nine year period, we explore the links between changes in exchange rates, cross-border travel, and the price and quantity responses of US retailers. This allows us to assess the importance of geography and distance in measuring the pass-through of exchange rate changes into prices and quantities at the level of the consumer. We develop a two stage theoretical model of cross-border travel and industry equilibrium for retail sales at the border. Our empirical results accord well with the implications of the model.
