International Trade when Inequality Determines Aggregate Demand
In this paper we model the pattern of international trade, and technological innovation and imitation between industrialized and developing regions, when preferences are nonhomothetic. By and large, models of the dynamics of North-South trade impose the assumption of unit income elasticity for all consumption goods. We relax this assumption and incorporate the insight from Engel’s Law: The budg...
متن کاملTrade Shocks and Aggregate Fluctuations in an Oil-Exporting Economy
In this paper we analyze the role of trade shocks in shaping aggregate fluctuations in Venezuela from 1950 to 1995. To this end a stochastic general equilibrium model of a small open economy whose main productive activity rests in the exports of a single basic product is specified. Shocks to the terms of trade which are directly associated to oil price changes are modelled as a foreign transfer...
متن کاملUncertainty , Risk Aversion and International Trade ∗
This paper develops a general equilibrium model of international trade in homogenous intermediate inputs. In the model, trade between countries is driven by uncertainty in the delivery of inputs. Because their managers are risk-averse, final good firms contract with multiple suppliers to decrease the variability of their profits. The analysis shows that risk diversification provides an incentiv...
متن کاملHump - shape Uncertainty , Agency Costs and Aggregate Fluctuations ∗
Previously measured uncertainty shocks using the U.S. data show a hump-shape time path: Uncertainty rises for two years before its decline. Current literature on the effects uncertainty on macroeconomics, including housing, has not accounted for this observation. Consequently, the literature on uncertainty and macroeconomics is divided on the effects and the propagation mechanism of uncertainty...
متن کاملCommentary on "Measuring and Analyzing Aggregate Fluctuations: The Importance of Building form Microeconomic Evidence"
To prevent their theories from becoming as unhinged as the Phillips curve, modern macroeconomic theorists conventionally build from microeconomic fundamentals. Recent empirical studies of macroeconomic phenomena that heavily use data from individual producers, exemplified by the work of Davis, Haltiwanger, and Schuh (1996), have convinced empirical macroeconomic practitioners they should do the...
