This research paper uses a mixed-methods approach to examine the complex impact of exchange rates on international trade, with a specific focus on the UK.

This paper combines:

  • a review of academic, grey, and commercial literature
  • an online survey of UK businesses trading internationally
  • case study interviews with UK-based trade associations
  • an econometric feasibility study, assessing the potential to conduct further empirical work
