Intermediate Inputs and External Economies
Is the degree of external economies (at the industry level) higher than the degree of internal increasing returns (at the firm level)? If so, what is the exact source of this difference? In this general equilibrium model in which firms producing final goods choose the degree of specialization of their technologies, external economies arise from the usage of intermediate inputs and the existence...
متن کاملExternal Rebalancing , Structural Adjustment , and Real Exchange Rates in Developing Asia ∗
This paper evaluates the impact of global external rebalancing on Developing Asia and the rest of the world using a multi-country multi-sector quantitative model of production and trade. Developing Asia countries currently running a trade surplus (such as People’s Republic of China or Malaysia) see a substantial rise in relative wages and an appreciation in the real exchange rate. They also see...
متن کاملIntermediate inputs and economic productivity.
Many models of economic growth exclude materials, energy and other intermediate inputs from the production function. Growing environmental pressures and resource prices suggest that this may be increasingly inappropriate. This paper explores the relationship between intermediate input intensity, productivity and national accounts using a panel dataset of manufacturing subsectors in the USA over...
متن کاملExplaining Asymmetric Price Adjustment
In an in nite horizon model with stochastic costs, moderate ination, costly price adjustment, and optimal price setting, we demonstrate that individual price reductions will be larger but less frequent than price increases. With positive ination, aggregate prices are more responsive to cost increases than to cost decreases, and a calibrated version of the model ts well the magnitude of downw...
متن کاملSpeed of price adjustment with price conjectures
We derive a measure of firm speed of price adjustment that is directly inversely related to market power and compare this to the measure derived by Martin (1993). However, both measures are incorrect when firms have non-zero price conjectural variations and treat competing price levels as exogenous. This is because Taylor series expansions of the demand function implicitly assume that firms inf...
