4.7 Market equilibrium<br />

The final good market is in equilibrium if the production equals the demand<br />

by domestic consumers and investors plus exportation to the US and the<br />

Rest of the World economies:<br />

F t = C t + I t + X t (28)<br />

Government spending is assumed to be realized exclusively in domestic goods<br />

so aggregate demand for the intermediate good is given by:<br />

D t = D p t + D f t + G t (29)<br />

The equilibrium of the trade bock imposes the equalisation of imports and<br />

exports<br />

M T t = X t (30)<br />

The capital rental market is in equilibrium if the demand for capital expressed<br />

by the intermediate goods domestic producer equals the supply by<br />

the households. Equilibrium on the labour market is realized if the firm’s<br />

labour demand equals the labor supply at the wage set by the households.<br />

The interest rate is determined by an empirical reaction function describing<br />

monetary policy decisions. These are governed by a Taylor type reaction rule.<br />

The specific form of the monetary policy reaction function will be introduced<br />

in log-linearized version in the next section.<br />
