I develop a detailed technical appendix for a rich small open economy model with stochastic growth along the lines of the Swedish central bank model of Adolfson et al. It has the following features:
- Consumption eulers and Rotemberg-type wage phillips curves for 3 different forms of utility functions which are non-separable between consumption and leisure: a) Jaimovich-Rebelo AER 2009 preferences b) Smets-Wouters AER 2007 preferences and c) standard Cobb-Douglas.
- Endogenous discount factor to restore stationarity in the log-linearized incomplete markets model
- Import-adjustment costs to differentiate between short-run and long-run import price elasticities
- Time-varying distortionary tax rates on consumption, capital income and wage income
- Government debt. Fiscal rules can be designed according to the modeller’s choice.
- Rotemberg-type price adjustment costs and associated Phillips curves for domestic sales, export sales and import sales
- Different import-shares for consumption and investment
