Question: G model presented in the lecture notes. Recall the system of equations on which the model is built: log money market equilibrium mt - pt
G model presented in the lecture notes. Recall the system of equations on which the model is built:
log money market equilibrium mt - pt = -ait; (1)
log nominal money supply mt = dt + kt; (2)
log domestic credit expansion dt - dt-1 = m; (3)
log PPP pt = p*t + log et; (4)
log UIP it = i *
t + Et-1Δet. (5)
Now suppose the government imposes permanent capital controls, we can capture this by replacing (12.5) by:
it = (1 - u)(i *
t + Et-1Δet)
where u is the tax rate on profits.
(a) Following the same steps as in the chapter, derive the timing of the speculative attack T
(b) How does your answer differ from the standard case in the chapter? Explain.
