Objective
• Numerical characterization of steady state
equilibrium for an open general equilibrium
model, parameterized for the Brazilian
economy.
• Quantify how monetary and fiscal policies affect
the model economy long-run equilibrium.
Main feature of the Model
economy
• Transaction technology, Ljungqvist and
Sargent (2001), is introduced in order to
obtain monetary equilibrium.
• Production included in the model economy.
• Small open economy.

In particular transaction technology takes the form:
s(ct, mt+1/Pt) = ct [1/(1+ mt+1/Pt)].
Given law law of motion for capital formation:
kt 1  (1   )kt  it
as well as initial conditions (k0, m0, b0) > 0, assuming:

Strategy to compute GCE
• Formulate DPP.
• Derive Euler equations (set of necessary
conditions) using differentiability property of
Value Function.
• Obtain algebraic steady state solution for
endogenous variables.
• Calibrate model economy with parameter
values derived from observed economy.
• Compute numerical solution.

Conclusion
1. Under adopted parameterization, an aggregate D/Y ratio of
0.3387 is attained at the steady state equilibrium. This equilibrium
is supported by a tax share on aggregate output of 17.87%, given
a tax rate of 20% and a participation of government expenses of
about 17% in aggregate output.
2. Simulation of alternative steady states has shown a clear trade
off between higher interest rates (low inflation rates) and higher
debt output ratios in the long run.
Extension
Extensions to analyze short run dynamics of the system are under
development. Impulse responses to demand shocks (via monetary
policy interventions) and to supply shocks (via exogenous
productivity shocks) can be introduced to compute a rational
expectation competitive equilibrium.
