Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the terms of trade move against a country, the price of its exports falls relative to the price of its imports. This leads to a decrease in the quantity of exports demanded and an increase in the quantity of imports demanded. Therefore, the effect on exports is uncertain, as it depends on the price elasticity of demand for the country's exports. However, the effect on imports is unambiguously a increase, as the lower relative price of imports makes them more attractive to domestic consumers.
