Econometric analysis confirms that some of the structural changes-notably the importance of consumer goods trade-cannot be fully explained using conventional trade equations. However, the structural changes were consistent with the likely nonlinear effects of the unusually large appreciation of the yen during 1985-87, which, among other things, precipitated a surge in Japanese foreign direct investment.
