An Intertemporal Macroeconomic Model with Oil and Fiscal Policy

• In this paper a two-period two-good open economy macroeconomic model is constructed. Consumption and money holding decision are based on intertemporal optimization. In the first period (in the 'short-un') some prices are inflexible and Keynesian unemployment occurs. In the second period (in the 'long-run') all prices are flexible and markets clear. The model is used to analyze fiscal policy (paying careful attention to the implications of the government's budget constraint), increased domestic output of a resource (oil) and the consequences of a rise in the world price of the resource.
