Main characteristics of the model 1 The model represents the productive structure of a standard Latin American economy: a small open economy with three sectors, two of them, tradables. R is net exporter of natural-resource commodities and it does not use 1 labor. M is net importer of a manufactured tradable good, which requires 2 labor. The M good can be used for consumption or investment. N is a non-tradable sector that employs labor. 3 2 Labor is homogenous and gets paid a wage rate W , which is given in the short run. 3 Macroeconomic policy is conducted through two instruments: the nominal exchange rate, E and a domestic absorption instrument, θ . 4 The real exchange rate is defined as the relative price between the foreign currency and labor: q ≡ E / W = ( W / E ) − 1 = w − 1 E . Since the wage rate is given in the short run, the RER is a policy variable in the short-run. 5 I neglect the financial side of the economy.
