Simple Models to Understand and Teach Business Cycle Macroeconomics for Emerging Market and Developing Economies

چکیده
September 2015 Abstract The canonical neoclassical model is insufficient to understand business cycle fluctuations in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). I reformulate the models proposed by Aguiar and Gopinath (2007) and Neumeyer and Perri (2005) in simple settings that can be used to do back-of-the-envelope analysis and teach business cycle macroeconomics for EMDEs at the undergraduate level. The simplified models are employed for qualitatively explaining facts such as the countercyclicality of the trade balance and the real interest rate, and the higher volatility of output, consumption, and real wages compared with those observed in advanced countries. Simple extensions can be used to understand other empirical facts such as large capital outflows and output drops, small government spending multipliers, the cyclical behavior of prices, and the negative association between currency depreciations and output.

متن کاملDeterminants of Bonanza Episodes and Related Effects on Financial Crises in Emerging Market Countries
Although capital inflows affect positively economies in long-run, it is possible to generate somehow destructive effects if there is no any control on financial markets. This study tries to explore main determinants of large capital inflows episodes to emerging markets. It is also investigated whether the large capital inflows episodes lead to financial crises in forms of sudden stop phenomenon...
متن کاملThe Composition of Capital In ows When Emerging Market Firms Face Financing Constraints∗
The composition of capital in ows to emerging market economies tends to follow a predictable dynamic pattern across the business cycle. In most emerging market economies, total in ows are pro-cyclical, with debt and portfolio equity owing in rst, followed later in the expansion by foreign direct investment (FDI). To understand the dynamic composition of these ows, we use a small open economy (S...
