Productive Capital And Investment Analysis

Superior Essays
Assumptions of the model and set up follows Jeanne and Ranciere (2011), however, their representative economy has no productive capital and investment. In this paper, adding productive capital and investment, the economy modelled as an endowment economy.
Our model is based on small open economy assumptions. There is only one good which is consumed domestically and abroad. Economy consist of discrete infinite time t=0,1,2… and has the risk of sudden stops which is the only reason of uncertainty. Therefore, economy follows a deterministic path which may be faced by sudden stops in capital inflows. There are two sectors in the economy, private and public.
The private sector consists of a continuum of atomistic and identical infinitely consumers

Sudden stops decrease the consumer’s welfare in two channels. Firstly, if her elasticity of intertemporal substitution of consumption is finite, sudden stops reduce the consumption path around the trend level, which decreases the consumer’s welfare. Secondly sudden stops decrease the consumer’s intertemporal income because of a decrease in domestic output( Jeanne and Ranciere, 2011). It is obvious that consumption falls sharply at the time of the sudden stop under the cumulative impact of the fall in output and of the capital outflow. Eventually, consumption recovers as foreign capital flows back in. π shows the probability that a sudden stop occurs in the following period and at the end of a sudden stop episode the economy goes back to state n with …show more content…
However, our model differs from Jeanne and Ranciere (2011) in terms of depreciation rate δ, and growth rate g and productivity level, A. As mentioned above if p=1, there is no difference between the models because of right hand side is zero. If p<1 , then first part of the right hand side is positive. Taking partial derivatives of equation (17), we found a positive relationship between reserve level and depreciation rate δ, and growth rate g, but there is a negative relationship between reserve level and productivity. Last part of right hand side (g+δ): 0<δ<1 and r>g, than
There are three scenarios in this situation. First of all, if A=1, economy holds a relatively high level of reserves because of investment parameters g and δ, higher investment will cause to hold higher reserves. For a small open economy, higher growth may lead higher borrowing, which increases external debt of the country then economy might face of a sudden stop risk, therefore hold more reserves. If A < 1, economy needs, even higher reserves level. If A > 1, the country needs relatively less reserves

    As a result of this, real output will shift from to P to P1. A lack of disposable income will arise from the people who have lost their jobs and will therefore demand less goods and services. Moreover, this can also lead on to the knock on affect of a loss of jobs in other areas of the economy due to there being a deficient demand. The government will then as a result of this increase expenditure as capital expenditure will increase on welfare benefits, which will mean that money cannot be spent on other supply side policies, resulting in a trade of a damaging the long run growth of AS.…

    The Canadian Economy

    As the economy of U.S. grows, so do Canada’s exports, especially in the non-energy sectors. Thus, this increase should in other sector should offset the decline in the energy sector. In fact, Baumeister et al. found an essentially neutral impact on Canadian GDP growth from a supply-driven 10% oil price shock, once accounting for the impact of the shock on foreign demand (Baumeister et al. 2010). In more recent research, it was found that external demand will offset the weakness of the oil sector resulting in positive impact on Canadian GDP less than .1% working with the assumption that for 10% decline in oil prices raises U.S. GDP growth by 0.1% to 0.2% (CITATION). Thus, it seems that an change in oil-price has somewhat neutral impact on aggregate output for Canada, as a whole, when accounting for changes in foreign demand.…

    Thus in turn has caused negative consequences for provinces and countries economy’s. In Canada its been noted that we have been major players in oil exportation recently, with the declining price of oil and less demand our GDP will suffer. It is estimated that, “One third of a percentage point will be lost because of the oil prices.” This in cause will cause fluctuation of…

    Intertemporal preferences describe the way consumers make decisions between how much food they would consume today versus how much food they would consume tomorrow. The consumption of today would influence the consumption of food tomorrow. Some basic assumptions for intertemporal preferences are transitivity, consumer prefer more over less, and consumers can choose between two alternative streams (today versus tomorrow). A decision requires a trade off by the consumers between costs and benefits today and tomorrow. The more a consumer consumes today, the less saving he will have today which will result in less consumption tomorrow.…

    Did you ever think about inflation? Inflation is a continuous increase in the price of goods and services. It means people use the same unit of currency but buy fewer goods and services. In the other word, inflation reduces the purchasing power per unit of currency. Currency is the medium of exchange, including banknotes and coins.…

    While reviewing the aggregate level of supply and demand, many of the same principles of basic supply and demand apply to this cycle. Aggregate supply is defined as “a schedule or curve showing the relationship between a nation’s price level and the amount of real domestic output that firms in the economy produce” while aggregate demand is “a schedule or curve that shows the various amounts of real domestic output that domestic and foreign buyers desire to purchase at each possible price level.” It has an inverse relationship, due to the Real Balances Effect, the Interest Rate Effect, and the Foreign Purchases Effect. Aggregate supply schedules can be categorized in three ways based on the flexibility of the input and output prices.…

    6.5 Granger Causality Granger causality statistics determine whether past values of one variable helps to predict another variable. For example, if the lagged value of the independent variable X, help in predicting the value of the explanatory variable Y_(t+1), then X granger causes the Y. On the other hand, if the independent variable X does not help to predict Y, then the coefficients on the lags of X will all be zero in the reduced form Y equation. 7.

    Papers motivated by dynamic inconsistency As explained in the introduction to this chapter, dynamic inconsistency poses a difficulty for welfare analysis, since the individual reveals different preferences at different points in time and it is unclear which of these set of preferences, if any, should be regarded as representing his welfare. An early approach to welfare evaluation in the presence of dynamic inconsistency is called the multi-selves Pareto criterion (e.g., Laibson et al. <cite>laibson1998self</cite>). This criterion is rationalized by regarding the individual as a collection of different selves.…

    he Miracle on the Han River is a term used to refer to South Korea's postwar export-fueled economic growth, including rapid industrialization, technological achievement, education boom, large rise in living standards, rapid urbanization, skyscraper boom, modernization, successful hosting of the 1988 Summer Olympics and co-hosting of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. This growth was accompanied by a democratization and globalization that transformed the country from the destruction of the Korean War to a wealthy and developed country. For the main section of this paper, I will be looking at the South Korean model, explored above and trying to fit it into the Indian context, and will then make an estimation on how well it holds. As mentioned above,…

    A curve which depicts two topmost output possibilities with inputs that are consistent of resources is defined as a production possibility frontier. Assumptions are made in production possibility frontiers that the inputs are being utilized effectively. The availability of resources is governed by the amount of labor, capital, and technological cost. Another name for the production possibility curve is the transformation curve. Production limits are shown in the production possibility frontier allowing an economy to make decisions about the best goods and services they should produce.…

    Leontief Input-Input Model

    Application to Leontief input-output model Introduction In order to understand and be able to manipulate the economy of a country or a region, one needs to come up with a certain model based on the various sectors of this economy. The Leontief model is an attempt in this direction. Based on the assumption that each industry in the economy has two types of demands: external demand (from outside the system) and internal demand (demand placed on one industry by another in the same system), the Leontief model represents the economy as a system of linear equations. The Leontief model was invented in the 30’s by Professor Wassily Leontief (picture above) who developed an economic model of the United States economy by dividing it into 500…

    In this study, a TVP-VAR model with stochastic volatility is used. Initially, the TVP-VAR model was introduced by Primiceri (2005) and Nakajima (2011) to examine the changes in the transmission of monetary policy and the changes in the variances of the exogenous shocks. This study is the first to examine the changes in the transmission of remittances shocks on inflation, savings and TFP in Saudi Arabia over the period 1970-2012. Following Nakajima (2011), we set up the TVP-VAR model with stochastic volatility as: y_t…
