A Neoclassical Model of the Balance of Payments
用动态优化模型分析小国在固定汇率下,货币贬值、关税、货币供给和贸易条件变化的短期与长期影响,适合熟悉Brock模型但非贸易专业的读者。
This paper analyses the transitory and long run effects of devaluation and tariffs, as well as the effects of alterations in the domestic money supply and the terms of trade, for a small country on fixed exchange rates. These issues are investigated in a self-contained dynamic optimization model of the sort popularized by Brock (1974, 1975). Familiar results in the trade literature are thereby explicated for the nonspecialist who is nonetheless familiar with Brock's work. There are some new results regarding the role played by income and substitution effects in determining the consequences of terms-of-trade shifts.
