Abstract: The authors propose a macroeconomic model suitable for policy analysis for an emerging market economy (EME). The model neither uncritically applies conventional macrotheory nor departs altogether from orthodoxy; rather, it modifies the conventional framework and captures the distinctive features of EMEs. The structure of the model is reduced to three equations: aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the balance of payments. The authors use these directly to derive policy multipliers. The model innovatively encompasses competing hypotheses from the neoclassical and new-structuralist paradigms, and the three-equation format is particularly convenient for simulation experiments and other empirical work for EMEs with finite macroeconomic series.
