Lerner) refers to the condition that an exchange rate devaluation or depreciation will only cause a balance of trade improvement if the absolute sum of the long run export and import demand elasticities is greater than unity. If the domestic currency devalues, imports become more expensive and exports become cheaper due the change in relative prices."] } } }
