A three-good, stochastic intertemporal equilibrium model of a small open economy is used to examine the link between terms of trade and business cycles. Equilibrium co-movements of model economies representing industrial and developing countries are computed and compared with the stylized facts...

We propose a simple and fast fixed-point iteration algorithm FiPIt to obtain the global, non-linear solution of macro models with two endogenous state variables and occasionally binding constraints. This method uses fixed-point iteration on Euler equations to avoid solving two simultaneous...

We propose a simple and fast ˝xed-point iteration algorithm (FiPIt) to obtain the global, non-linear solution of macro models with two endogenous state variables and occasionally binding constraints. This method uses ˝xed-point iteration on Euler equations to avoid solving two simultaneous...
