Summary
- Presents a general approximation method for characterizing time-varying equilibrium portfolios in a two-country dynamic general equilibrium model.
- The approximation provides simple, easily interpretable closed form solutions for the dynamics of equilibrium portfolios.
Method and key features
- The method can be easily adapted to most dynamic general equilibrium models.
- Applies to environments in which markets are complete or incomplete.
- Can be used for models of any dimension.
- Produces closed form solutions that approximate the dynamics of equilibrium portfolios.
Findings and implications
- Time-varying equilibrium portfolios in a two-country dynamic general equilibrium framework can be characterized using the presented approximation method.
- The closed form nature of the approximation aids interpretability of portfolio dynamics across different model specifications and market completeness assumptions.
Applicability and scope
- Model context: two-country dynamic general equilibrium model.
- Applicability: adaptable to most dynamic general equilibrium models; valid under complete and incomplete market environments; usable for models of any dimension.
- Outputs: simple, easily interpretable closed form solutions for equilibrium portfolio dynamics.
