Macroeconomic Interdependence in a Two-Country DSGE Model under Diverging Interest-Rate Rules



A. Appendix

Subsequently, Et [πt+1] := Et [pt+1] -pt shall be defined as the expected CPI inflation rate in period t + 1.
In addition, let hatted variables denote the percentage deviations from their zero-inflation steady-state
values (
yt := yt - y, Et [yt] := Et [yt] - y, it := it - i).

Taking this into account and cancelling the term ρ(n — 1)t on both sides, the last equation rearranges
to:

(n - 1)tt - ρyt + ρy = it - Et[t] - ρ(n - 1)Et[tt] - ρEt[yt+1] + ρy.

Solving this for yt, one finally obtains the domestic dynamic IS curve (39):

yt = Et[yt +1] + 1 {Et[t+1] - it} - (1 - n)Et[∆tt+1].

ρ

Note that the foreign dynamic IS curve (40) can be derived analogously.

A.5. New Keynesian Phillips Curves

In period t, a domestic producer willing to reset her price maximizes her expected discounted future
profits with respect to
Pt (h):

Et S XX δs-tβs- μCw) PPthYs (h) - κsYs (h)] I max
t=t β Cn Ph s( ) s s( )j mw

β s-t (Csw /Ctw) is a stochastic discount factor, which denotes the marginal rate of substitution of real
(world) consumption between periods
s and t. Note that here one has made use of equation (23). In case
of goods market clearing output of an individual producer equals global demand for the differentiated
good (
Y (h) = C w (h)). Note further that the condition Pt(h) = Ps (h) during the length of the contract
implies for the global demand function (15) for a representative domestic good:

Csw(h) =


Pt(h)    -


Ps,H


Csw.


Substituting this into the above equation yields:

Et  IXX (δβ)s-t C -Яf ≡X 1 -θ PSH^-- 1 Cw - κs PH)-θ PH--1 Cwl 1 max

IS= Cw [ps,hJ pJ s Pps,hJ PpsJ s ʃ  p ( h )

^  Et (XX (δβ)s-t μCWX -ρ ɪ "(1 - θ) μ≡X -θ μPsHχ - 1 + θκs μ≡X -θ- 1 μPsHχ - 1# cw ) =0

Is=CwrJ Ps,h ∏ps,hJ P ps J Pps,hJ P ps J S  s

Solving this for Pt (h)/Pt,H, one gets after some manipulation the subsequent price-setting equation:

θ                -1

P.(h)= θ Et {pr-t(δβ) p∙fe) '      (C?)1 η}

P,H θ - 1 Et ½P“ t(δβ)s-t [(⅛´θ-1 (ppH´-1 (C?)1 -P

Now consider the case where everybody resets their prices (δ = 0). As each producer charges the same
price (
PH = P (h)), the above equation collapses to the following :

Pt (h ) =   θ κ = 1.

Pt,H    θ - 1

Again we get the real marginal production cost associated with a flexible-price equilibrium κf lex :

flex θ - 1

κi    =       .
