9 ν ν( ν (B c = y + y m, where σν ( ν + ( ν e can furher simplify hese by defining: (B c ( c c (B c ( c + c Then ν ν( ν (B4 c = y + m (B5 c = y And, solving for he erms of rade, we find: σ ( ν (B6 s = y + z m, σ ( ν (B7 s = y + z + m Under a globally efficien allocaion, he marginal rae of subsiuion beween leisure and aggregae consumpion should equal he marginal produc of labor imes he price of oupu relaive o consumpion prices To see he derivaion more cleanly, we inser he shadow real wages in he efficien allocaion, w p H and w p F ino equaions (B8 and (B9 below So, he efficien allocaion would be achieved in a model wih flexible wages and opimal subsidies These equaions hen can be undersood inuiively by looking a he wage seing equaions below ((B-(B, and (B4-(B5 assuming he opimal subsidy is in place Bu, o emphasize, hey do no depend on a paricular model of wage seing, and are us he sandard efficiency condiion equaing he marginal rae of subsiuion beween leisure and aggregae consumpion o he marginal rae of ransformaion σ (B8 a = w ph = + φ y + ( σ + φ y φa, (B9 a w p σ = F = + φ y + ( σ + φ y φa Equaions of wage and price seing The real Home and Foreign produc wages, from equaion (A8, are given by: ν (B w ph = σ c + φn + s + μ, ν (B w pf = σ c + φn + s + μ e can express w ph, and w pf in erms of y and y and he exogenous disurbances,, a, μ, and μ : a 8

10 (B σ ( ν ν w ph = + φ y + ( σ + φ y + m + z φa + μ, (B σ ( ν ν w pf = + φ y + ( σ + φ y m + z φa + μ, Flexible Prices e can solve for he values of all he real variables under flexible prices by using equaions (B, (B4, (B, (B, (B6, (B and (B, as well as he price-seing condiions, from (A: (B4 w p H = a, (B5 w p F = a PCP Log-linearizaion of equaions (A8 and (A9 gives us he familiar New Keynesian Phillips curve for an open economy: (B6 π H = δ( w ph a + βε π H +, where δ = ( θ( βθ / θ e can rewrie his equaion using (B and (B8 as: (B7 σ πh = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y + βε π H + + u where u = δμ Similarly for foreign producer-price inflaion, we have: (B8 σ πf = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y + βε π F + + u LCP Equaion (B6 holds in he LCP model as well Bu in he LCP model, he law of one price deviaion is no zero e have: (B9 σ ( H ( ν ν π = δ + φ y + σ + φ y + m + z + βε π H + + (B σ ( ν ν πf = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y m + z + βε π F + + u In addiion, from (A4 and (A4, we derive: (B π H = δ( w ph e a + βε πh+ = δ( w ph m z a + βε πh+ e can rewrie his as (B σ H ( + ν ν π = δ + φ y + σ + φ y m z + βε π H + + u Similarly, we can derive: (B σ + ν ν πf = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y + m z + βε π F + + Consider equaions (B9-(B If z = in hese equaions, henπ π = π π This in urn implies z + = By inducion, if he iniial F H F H 9

11 condiion z = holds, i follows ha z = in all periods in he LCP model, or, in oher words, s = s Tha is, he relaive price of Foreign o Home goods is he same in boh counries e emphasize ha his is rue for a firs-order approximaion in he LCP model So we can simplify equaions (B9-(B: σ ( ν (B4 πh = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y + m + βε π H + + u, σ ( ν (B5 πf = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y m + βε π F + + u σ + ν (B6 πh = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y m + βε π H + + u σ + ν (B7 πf = δ + φ y + ( σ + φ y + m + βε π F + + u elaionship o CGG s Phillips Curve The Phillips curve in CGG s PCP model has Home inflaion depending only on he Home oupu gap Our model should be equivalen o heirs when here is no home bias in preferences, bu equaion (B7 has π H depending on boh y and y This will no reduce o a funcion only of y excep in he case of σ = However, i can be seen ha in fac (B7 is equivalen o CGG s equaion when one recognizes ha CGG s definiion of he oupu gap differs from he one used here CGG CGG CGG define he oupu gap as he difference beween y and wha I will call y y is he efficien level of Home oupu when he Foreign oupu level is aken as given Tha conrass o our definiion in which y is he globally efficien oupu level CGG s definiion is convenien because heir analysis focuses on non-cooperaive moneary policy, while he definiion used here is more convenien because of he focus on cooperaive moneary policy Bu his is a maer of convenience: algebraically he equaions are he same To see his, noe ha equaion (B6 is he same as in CGG hen here are no deviaions from he law of one price, equaion (B can be wrien as: σ w ph = + φ y + ( σ + φ y φ a + μ (B8 σ y y y + y φ = + + ( σ + φ φ a + μ hen here is no home bias in preferences, his simplifies o: σ + σ (B9 w ph = + φ y + y φa + μ Then, CGG define: (B4 CGG σ ( φ a y = + y σ + φ

12 So we can wrie using (B9 and (B4: σ + CGG (B4 w ph a = + φ ( y y + μ Subsiuing his expression ino equaion (B6 gives us CGG s version of he Phillips curve, in which inflaion depends only on he Home oupu gap under heir definiions
