In this paper, we study the effectiveness of fiscal policies in a framework of a small open economy where the behaviour of representative consumer is characterised by endogenous time preference which depends on wealth and consumption.

This paper extends MURPHY's (1991) analysis of alternative lending arrangements. We incorporate the capital accumulation into the two sector model and departure from traditional model of this kind by making two assumptions. One of them is to postulate rigid wage and unemployment, and the another...

It is set up in this paper a formulation which endogeneizes the choice of investment inputs in open economy context where a small country may depend on foreign technology. Then it is integrated into a macroeconomic model of small specialized country with Blanchard-Yaari type uncertain horizon...

We model a typical Asian-crisis-economy using dynamic general equilibrium tech-niques. Exchange rates obtain from nontrivial fiat-currencies demands. Sudden stops/bank-panics are possible, and key for evaluating the merits of alternative ex-change rate regimes. Strategic complementarities...

Following Jeske's (2006) decentralized international risk sharing arrangement where residents have access to international capital markets, this paper studies the presence of resident default risk on borrowing happened between domestic agents, in addition to default risk on private debt...

This paper studies the long-run welfare effect of the extra volatility of country spread due to the possibility of sudden stops. Both analytical and numerical results show that sudden stops have weaker output impact when the small open economy is more open to trade. However, welfare consequences...

This paper analyzes the trade policy when country spread becomes more volatile due to the possibility of sudden stops. Both analytical and numerical results show that sudden stops have weaker output impact when the small open economy is more open to trade; however, this does not imply the...

This paper studies the effects of private debts on risk sharing and welfare, in which I assume individual residents have access to both international and domestic capital markets. Like Jeske (2006), I make the assumption that domestic residents cannot commit to repay their debts across border....
