The Balassa‐Samuelson effect provides evidence that this is a common occurrence in explaining
differential economic growth. It argues that economic growth is associated more with increased
productivity in traded goods. When liberalization policies are being pursued, it is expected that the
price of non‐traded goods will rise relative to traded goods, leading to a rapid changes in the real
exchange rate. Indeed, it is the proportion of non‐traded goods in the basket of good consumed in
Ghana that allows the poverty line in Ghana to be so dramatically different from that in the U.S., say.
Effect of Exchange Rate on Poverty
From Equation (10), we noted that the larger the proportion of non‐traded goods in the basket of
consumed goods, the lower the rate of economic growth even when productivity in those non‐traded
goods increase. This is merely a result of the lack of arbitrage opportunities for those goods to exploit
the productivity gains.
Let us assess the potential effect of the exchange rate on the poverty level using consumption
expenditures given the foregoing analysis and using data collected from the study area in 2012 and are
described in Zereyesus et al. (2014).1 Consumption expenditures are defined to encompass
expenditures on four product categories: food; housing; durables; and non‐durables. Durables are
products lasting longer than a year, such as radios, bicycles and clothing. Non‐durables are defined by
