The curve followed by a country's balance of payments after its currency has been devalued. Initially, the balance of payments will worsen because of the flow of goods already in inventory and transit and contracts signed before the devaluation occurred. But as importers and exporters adjust to the price impact of the devaluation, the country's balance of payments will turn around and begin to improve. There is nothing automatic about this; there may be other factors that militate against the J-curve to some extent, in addition to the time it takes for firms to adjust. 1, record 16, English, - J%20curve

Despite the fact that in real terms the U. S. current account deficit has improved significantly and the Japanese and German trade surpluses have fallen, the continued deterioration in the U. S. nominal current account balance has been a source of disappointment and confusion to markets. To some extent, the lack of progress in nominal terms was expected, due to the so-called "J-curve" phenomenon, whereby the effect of a depreciation in the U. S. dollar worsens the U. S. terms of trade such that it initially offsets the improving net flow of goods and services in volume terms. But the "J-curve" effect is short term and transitional in nature, and it cannot account entirely for the slow adjustment of the U. S. current account imbalance. 1, record 20, English, - %5C%22J%2Dcurve%5C%22%20phenomenon

Bien qu'en termes réels le déficit du compte courant des Etats-Unis se soit nettement amélioré et que les excédents commerciaux du Japon et de l'Allemagne aient diminué, la dégradation persistante de la balance courante américaine en termes nominaux a engendré déception et confusion sur les marchés. Dans une certaine mesure, on s'attendait à une absence de progrès en termes nominaux à cause du phénomène dit «courbe en J», par le jeu duquel une baisse du dollar américain entraîne une détérioration des termes de l'échange des Etats-Unis au point de compenser initialement l'amélioration du flux net de biens et de services en volume. Cependant, l'effet «courbe en J» est de courte durée et de nature passagère, et il ne peut expliquer à lui seul la lenteur de la correction du déséquilibre de la balance courante américaine. 1, record 20, French, - ph%C3%A9nom%C3%A8ne%20dit%20%C2%ABcourbe%20en%20J%C2%BB

Absorption Approach. A method of analysing the effects of a devaluation or depreciation of a country's exchange rate on its balance of trade. The approach focuses attention on the relationship between national product(Y) and national absorption(A), where the latter is defined as the use of goods for the purposes of consumption and investment by the private and public sectors of the economy. The balance of trade(B) can only be positive(i. e. in surplus) if Y exceeds A. Thus in its simplest form the relationship may be written as B=Y-A. 2, record 22, English, - national%20absorption
