Confusion of the relationship between the model and the code

General DSGE Modeling

Hi everyone.
I am reading a course of two country model, and I am confuse about the qustion as follows:
Could anyone tell me why the form of formular 35 can be written as ca = b - b(-1); in the dynare code?
I think fomular 35 should be divided into two parts, the foreign part and the home part.
Necessary information are as follows:
The fomular 35 in the book:

1667628209500
1667628209500710×97 9.27 KB

The annotation of the book:
1667628258996
1667628258996703×78 10.5 KB

The code of the fomular 35;
1667628289821
The variable b means bond.

Here is the code and the book:
chapter_6(orginal).pdf (481.5 KB)
NK_2c.mod (5.8 KB)

Thanks for any advice!

In a two country case, the foreign debt equals home assets. One is the mirror image of the other.
