The single factor that lies at the core of Taiwan's remarkable economic growth is sustained export growth. During the past twenty-five years, the balance of trade between the U.S. and Taiwan has its share of volatility. Taking variables from different theories, we employ the instrument variable and the VAR model to dissect the problem. It ought to be pointed out that the private sector interest rate instead of the official rate plays a key role in the model. The substantial investment in mainland China from Taiwan has distorted the trade balance picture.
