We add to the literature on the "Third-Country" effect by assessing the impact of rupee-dollar volatility on 116 U.S. industries that export to Pakistan and 53 U.S. industries that import from Pakistan. As two measures of "Third-Country" effects, we include volatility measures of rupee-yuan and dollar-yuan rates due to the increased role of China in the global economy. We find evidence of "Third-Country" effects in more than half of the industries. Among affected industries are many of the large U.S. exporting industries, but not large U.S. importing industries.
