• The equilibrium capital output ratio depends on the user cost of capital.
Derived from the marginal product condition from the production function
Kt = δKt-1 + It
• Dynamic adjustment path around long-run relationship
• Trade volumes and prices are linked by Armington matrices, based on 2010
trade patterns
• External market size (S) is weighted average of imports in other countries
• Relative export prices are domestic export prices relative to weighted
average of competitor prices
• Relative import prices are domestic consumer prices relative to weighted
average of export prices in import source countries

YCAP
• feeds into the price system to bring demand in line with supply
• a change in the real wage or real cost of capital affects the capital labour
ratio and a change in the oil price changes demand for K and L.
• Consumer prices (CED) are a mark-up on unit total costs and import
prices, adjusted for the indirect tax rate
• Forward looking long rates should be related to expected future short term
rates
(1+LRt) = j=1, T (1+SRt+j)T + tprem
• Equity Prices reflect the net present discounted value of expected profits,
including an equity risk premium
EQPt = EQPt+1 /Discounted + Profitst
• Simulations are generally run with forward looking exchange rates for
consistency
– Backward-looking or fixed exchange rates are options
• Forecast baseline produced with fixed interest rates and backward looking
exchange rates
• UIP condition adjusted by risk premium
– If interest rates are above those in the US, exchange rate is expected
to depreciate (unless there is a positive risk premium)
