Özet:

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between foreign trade prices and real exchange rate in Turkey. For this purpose for the period of 1982:1-2004:4, the relationships among export and import price indexes and real effective exchange rate index are analyzed econometrically by employing multivariate cointegration analysis and error correction model. According to the results, real exchange rate is negatively effected by import price, and positively by export price in the long run. But there exist no Granger cause relationship from real exchange rate towards import and export prices. However, it is observed that one-directional causality exists from import price to export price.
