Abstract
Using annual data for Israel over the period 1960-1989 we estimate an econometric model for the supply and demand for exports. A novel feature is that domestic absorption crowds-out export supply. Exports are imperfect substitutes in world markets for tradeables produced abroad - the price elasticity of demand is about - 1.3 while the price elasticity of supply is about 1.5. The model is simulated to calculate the effects of policy instruments and other exogenous variables on exports and export prices.
