2.2 Final consumption goods sector<br />
Home …nal consumption goods (C) are produced with <strong>the</strong> aid <strong>of</strong> home <strong>and</strong> foreign-produced<br />
intermediate goods (c H <strong>and</strong> c F ) in <strong>the</strong> following manner:<br />
C t =<br />
hv 1 c<br />

H;t<br />
+ (1 v) 1 1<br />

where is <strong>the</strong> elasticity <strong>of</strong> int<strong>rate</strong>mporal substitution between home <strong>and</strong> foreign-produced<br />
intermediate goods.<br />
Final goods in <strong>the</strong> home <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> foreign country di¤er in terms <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ir composition <strong>of</strong> home <strong>and</strong> foreign-produced intermediate goods (v > v ). Final goods<br />
producers maximize (12) subject to (11).<br />
max P t C t P H;t c H;t P F;t c F;t (12)<br />
c H; c F<br />
This maximization yields <strong>the</strong> following input dem<strong>and</strong> functions for <strong>the</strong> home economy (similar<br />
conditions hold for Foreign producers)<br />

The price index that corresponds to <strong>the</strong> previous dem<strong>and</strong> function is de…ned as:<br />

An analogous production <strong>structure</strong> exists for <strong>the</strong> production <strong>of</strong> foreign …nal consumption<br />
goods.<br />
