Abstract

The highly influential contribution of Obstfeld and Rogoff’s Redux model (1995) essentially initiated a new line of research that reflects the attempt to integrate nominal rigidities and imperfect competition into a dynamic general equilibrium framework within an intertemporal optimization approach. Since then, several theoretical models have been developed, extending the Obstfeld-Rogoff seminal model in order to address a number of macroeconomic issues; this new literature is commonly called ‘New Open Economy Macroeconomics’ (hereafter NOEM).1

Special thanks to Clifford Wymer for his invaluable help and advice. A preliminary version of the paper has been presented at the 58th European Meeting of the Econometric Society (ESEM) 20–4 August 2003.
