Abstract
We estimate the effects of commercial policy and changes in the external terms of trade on the real exchange rate for four Latin American economies using data on internal relative prices. We find that the greater the elasticity of the non-traded price level with respect to the price of importables, the larger is the real exchange rate effect of import restrictions but the smaller is the real exchange rate effect of changes in the external terms of trade.
