A Dynamic Model of the Open Economy with Sluggish Output

Miguel A Kiguel and Andres Dauhajre

International Economic Review, 1988, vol. 29, issue 4, 587-606

Abstract: This paper incorporates sluggish output adjustment in a model simil ar to R. Dornbusch (1976) and explicitly considers the cases in which a real depreciation of the exchange rate is expansionary and contractionary. It is shown that the exchange rate is likely to portray overshooting g in both cases. When the real depreciation is expansionary, the mode l generates comovements in prices and output that are opposite to those presente d by Dornbusch. In the contractionary depreciation case, there is a unique stable equilibrium path and the economy is likely to experienc e cycles in output and the real exchange rate.
