Elasticity of trading balance and a condition
of trade in relation to a rate of exchange

The macromodel of open economy is closely connected to models of behaviour of the countries within the framework of process of world trade, and also with opportunities of import of technological achievements available at the country, to borrow or lend money (financial shifts) from other countries of the world during economic growth.

Let's consider models of elasticity of trading balance and a condition of trade in relation to a rate of exchange [1].

The conditions of equilibrium:

,                                   (1)

in the export market,

,                                 (2)

in the import market, where

               equilibrium mains of export in indexes of physical mains;

               equilibrium mains of import indexes of physical mains;

             – the equilibrium price of export in national currency;

             – the equilibrium price of import national currency;

             – the equilibrium price of export in a foreign currency;

             – the equilibrium price of import a foreign currency;

               – equilibrium rate of exchange (or the price of a foreign currency, for example, in tenge / dollars USA);

              – conditions of trade as the relation export and import prices;

                   – the supply of a foreign currency by the current calculations, or cost of export in standard units;

                  – demand for a foreign currency by the current calculations, or cost of import standard units;

            – trading balance of a foreign currency;

           – function of the supply of a foreign currency in the export market;

             – function of demand for a foreign currency in the export market;

             – function of the supply of a foreign currency in the import market;

                  – function of demand for a foreign currency in the import market;

            – elasticity of the supply of export at the price of export to a foreign currency;

           – elasticity of demand for export at the price of export to a foreign currency;

           – elasticity of the supply of import at the price of import a foreign currency;

           – elasticity of demand for import at the price of import a foreign currency;

            – elasticity of the supply of a foreign currency (or cost of export) in relation to a rate of exchange;

           – elasticity of demand for a foreign currency (or cost of import) in relation to a rate of exchange;

           – elasticity of trading balance in relation to a rate of exchange;

         – elasticity of conditions of trade in relation to a rate of exchange;

To differentiated (1) - (2):

                                   (3)

                                     (4)

Having divided (3) on , (4) on  and (3) – (4) on , receive:

,                                      (5)

,                                      (6)

From definition of elasticity we have:

                                                    (7)

                                                        (8)

                                                        (9)

                                                            (10)

                                                         (11)

                                                      (12)

                                                      (13)

Having substituted (7) - (8) in (5) and (9) - (10) in (6), we have:

,                            (14)

                            (15)

From (14) - (15) we shall receive:

                                            (16)

                                           (17)

,                                    (18)

.                                   (19)

Note, that

,                            (20)

,                          (21)

.                                      (22)

Thus, from (20) - (21), we shall receive mathematical model of elasticity of trading balance in relation to a rate of exchange:

,                        (23)

and from (16) - (17), we shall receive computing model of elasticity of conditions of trade in relation to a rate of exchange:

.        (24)

For application of calculated model condition of trade under the relation a rate of exchange on mineral resources of Kazakhstan the information database the current accounts and a rate of exchange of dollars has been created. The user materials [2] we take results in the table 1.

in 2000 (million dollars USA)

Figure 2

From figure 4 we notice, that as change of conditions of trade on mineral resources time, despite of tactical changes as the prices of export (figure 1), and the prices of import (figure 2) it is necessary to react by change of balance of the current operations. In other words, improvement of conditions of trade should conduct to formation active, and deterioration - passive balance, that it, as a rule, is realized with the help of a rate of exchange as devaluation national currencies.

The offered mathematical model of elasticity of conditions of trade in relation to a rate of exchange (24) is expressed through concepts of elasticity, but the information base set as table 1 does not allow direct application for a necessary condition of calculations of elasticity is existence of a derivative that demands to proceed(pass) to their trends (figure 1-4). The last is realized in a package of applied programs Excel MS environment, through the Main menu / the Master of diagrams / To add a line of a trend.

It is known [3-4], that Kazakhstan it is integrated into system world economic connections as the country with small open economy. Therefore export and import

prices are established in foreign currencies in an environment, in particular in the world markets. From figure 4 it is visible, that devaluation, or depreciation of national currency, conditions trade in mineral resources of Kazakhstan definitely improves, that in turn affects and the currency market. For example, devaluation for one tenge stabilizes conditions of trade on the average on 1,4 % (table 2) and forms a basis for a conclusion, that change of a condition of trade facilitates a task of stabilization of the currency market.
