Global Production and Currency Devaluation
This simple paper models the production allocation choices of a multinational enterprise (MNE) in a three-country framework -a northern country and two southern countries. The products made in the southern countries are of lower quality, and have higher substitutability than those between the south and the north. We investigate how exchange rates affect production, employment, profits and welfa...
متن کاملTransaction Costs, Multiple Equilibria, and Currency Devaluation
This paper attempts to examine the effect of a currency devaluation on domestic output by incorporating the Coase (1937) assertion into a standard open economy model. Our results show that there will be multiple equilibria in the labor market, i.e. low or high employment equilibrium, because of transaction cost externalities. If the labor market is in the high-employment equilibrium, a currency...

In this model, a domestic monetary expansion has greater spillover effects to foreign prices and foreign economic activity than an otherwise identical model with time-dependent pricing. In...
