“…Building upon an earlier model by Lavoie and Zhao (2010), they show that a more flexible dollar-yuan exchange rate is powerful adjustment mechanism. Valdecantos and Zezza (2015) also focus on world imbalances. They consider four blocs: the US, the Euro Area, China and the rest of the world.…”

“…Godley and Lavoie (2003, 2005, 2012) progressively built upon the original Godley’s contribution—as well as his policy works written during his collaboration at the Levy—to provide a more realistic representation of how two regions co‐evolve. The standard two‐country augmented model, known also as the ‘Chapter 12’ of Godley and Lavoie’ Monetary Economics book, has been extended qualitatively, with the behavioral development proposed by Lavoie and Daigle (2011) and Ramos et al (2020); the analyses of Bonizzi (2015) and Bortz (2014) on pension funds and foreign debt, respectively (see below); the reassessment of the Marshall–Lerner condition by Carnevali et al (2019); and quantitatively, with multi‐country frameworks developed by Lequain (2003), Izurieta (2003), Lavoie and Zhao (2010), Mazier and Aliti (2012), Valdecantos and Zezza (2015). The first two are simply an extension of the Chapter 12, with the novelty that two countries share the same currency.…”
At the beginning of the 2000s, Latin America countries experienced rising commodities prices and, in turn, foreign investors shifted part of their portfolio composition toward the region. Unlike past episodes, more integrated financial markets allowed international players to invest in a wider range of financial instruments, usually related to composite commodity indexes. We investigate the macroeconomic implications of such innovative practices, focusing in particular on currency swings, by adopting a stock‐flow consistent (SFC) framework. The element of novelty of our contribution consists in depicting a financial sector, which issues Commodity‐Linked Notes (CLNs) to be sold to households in the developed country.
“…Valdecantos and Zezza (2015) have developed a model with four blocs—the United States, the Eurozone, China and the “rest of the world”—to investigate the original proposal by John Maynard Keynes for a post‐Second World War international monetary system based on the introduction of a new “international currency”, the Bancor , to be used as means of payment and international reserve.…”

This paper combines a Stock‐Flow Consistent open economy two‐country model with the Verdoorn‐Kaldor law, which posits a positive relationship between the rate of growth of output and productivity growth. The model shows the role of endogenous productivity as a shock magnifier and underlines the limits of the mechanisms of adjustment that rely exclusively on the “buffer” provided by flexible exchange rates. It also provides arguments in support of fiscal policy both in the context of flexible exchange rates and fixed exchange rates. Finally, it challenges the sustainability of austerity measures aimed to achieve external balance.
