Book excerpt: In this paper, when we apply the technique to the bilateral trade balance between the USA and Hong Kong, we find neither short-run nor long-run effects. Suspecting that this could be due to aggregation, we disaggregate the trade data between the two countries by commodity and apply the same method. While we find short-run negative effects in the majority of industries, positive long-run effects are observed in 58 of 108 industries, supporting the J-Curve.
