Abstract

This paper presents an aggregate demand and supply model for the Venezuelan economy assuming two productive sectors (oil and non-oil), a fixed exchange rate regime, and an absolute restriction to capital mobility. The model helps explain the impacts that fiscal, monetary, and productivity domestic and foreign shocks have on real output, inflation and overall economic activity in Venezuela. Although the results are consistent with economic theory, it is necessary to emphasize that, contrary to its standard postulates, a Bolivar devaluation contracts real output and raises the price level and that an oil price increase causes an increase in real output but triggers an ambiguous effect on the price level.
