We present a unified dynamic framework to study the interconnections between international trade and business cycle models. We prove an aggregate equivalence between a competitive, representative firm model that has aggregate production externalities and dynamic trade models that feature...

This paper presents (sufficient) conditions for the domestic investor/consumer to hold in equilibrium a disproportionate share of domestic assets. The analysis is carried out in a general equilibrium framework of products and assets markets, when the source of the uncertainty is productivity...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine empirical characteristics of two commonly mentioned expressions of international financial crisis, “sudden stops” and currency crises. Design/methodology/approach – Sudden stop and currency crisis events are identified and empirical...

In this paper, the following question is posed: Can the New Keynesian Open Economy Model by Galí and Monacelli (2005b) explain Six Major Puzzles in International Macroeconomicsʺ, as documented in Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000b)? The model features a small open economy with complete markets, Calvo...

This paper details the origin and development of the dependent economy model. The model is also known as the ‘Australian model' and the ‘Salter-Swan-Corden-Dornbusch model', but neither title adequately conveys the scope and sequence of contributions that were instrumental to its...

We present a unified dynamic framework to study the interconnections between international trade and business cycle models. We prove an aggregate equivalence between a competitive, representative firm model that has aggregate production externalities and dynamic trade models that feature...

This paper proposes a methodology for tracing out the effect of intermediate inputs, including ‘processing trade', on the link between external rebalancing and relative price adjustment. We find that neglect of inputs distorts parameterization of the traditional multi-sector macro model....

This paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium model that attempts to reconcile the observation that aggregate movements of exports and imports are disconnected from real exchange rate movements, while firm-level exports co-move significantly with the real exchange rate. Firms are...
