2. Outline Notes on the open economy model, in particular price elasticities of exports and imports
Experiments in two closures: What happens when domestic exports fall exogenously:
In the fixed exchange rate regime with endogenous foreign reserves
In the flexible exchange rate regime
3. A complex model with several endogenous variables Import prices, export prices, domestic sales deflator, GDP deflator, (exchange rate);
Exports, imports, output, consumption, domestic sales, disposable income
Taxes, interest payments, money stock, holdings of bills and money (portfolios), wealth
Trade balance, current account balance, capital account balance, (foreign reserves)
