A strong dollar (making imports cheaper and exporting more difficult) appears to have little effect on the survival rate of small retailers, according to a study, Effects of International Competition on Small Wholesale and Retail Trade Firms, released today by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S.
Small Business Administration. The study covers 15 years of data, from 1990 through 2005, from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Statistics of U.S.
Businesses and other sources.
