Oil Stock Discovery And Dutch Disease

Abstract

We set out a model of a two-good, small open economy exporting a traditional exportable in order to finance capital goods rental payments. We observe that thetraditional export sector declines with an exogenous increase in the country's oil export earnings, while the local goods sector expands. For input price effects to emerge, landis needed as a third input. For the "large land" case, we can have imports of capital steadily decline as oil earnings expand. Earnings from oil sales are stationary underour annuitization construction.
