Retail Sales of Durable Goods, Inventories and Imports after Large Devaluations

No 402, 2017 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: This paper presents a general equilibrium model of a small open economy with monopolistically competitive retailers, inventories and durable goods. Following large devaluations, this model generates a collapse of imports, a fall of retail sales and inventories and a gradual increase in retail prices. Besides, the model allows to explain a short-lived spike in retail sales of durable goods, observed during the recent devaluation episode in Russia in December of 2014.
