About this book

The focus is on the inter action between demand and supply in a small open economy featuring the dynamics of private capital, public debt and foreign assets. The overlapping generations model serves as a microfoundation. It proves useful to consider different scenarios. Exchange rates are either flexible or fixed. Money wages can be flexible, fixed or slow. Monetary and fiscal policy may be exogenous or endo­ genous. Either budget deficits are allowed, or continuous budget balance is postula­ ted. Wh at are the implications of various shocks? How does the chain of cause and effect look like? I had many helpful talks with my colleagues at Hamburg: Michael Schmid (now at Bamberg), Wolf Schäfer and Johannes Hackmann. In addition, Daphni-Marina Papadopoulou and Christine Schäfer-Lochte carefully discussed with me all parts of the manuscript. Last but not least, Doris Ehrich typed the manuscript as excellently as ever. I would like to thank all of them. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 PART 1. FLEXIBLE EXCHANGE RATES 11 CHAPTER 1.
