Economics Series Working Papers from University of Oxford, Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper discusses how a consistent treatment of asset markets may be integrated into standard trade-focussed CGE models. Starting from a core specification of the real economy, calibrated to data for Zambia in the mid-1990s, the paper examines the properties of a hierarchy of models which differ only in the specification of asset markets but subject to a common (negative) temporary fiscal shock.
