Trade balance volatility and consumption structures in small open economies

Author

Listed:
  • Ikeda, Akihiko

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the difference in trade balance volatility between emerging and developed small open economies under a simple endowment economy model. The results of the nonlinear simulations with occasionally binding collateral constraints show that in a model with collateral capital, the difference can be explained by the share of tradables in consumption.
