Abstract

This article offers a review of the literature on intertemporal stochastic general equilibrium (ISGE) models in an open economy. The basic international ISGEmodel cannot describe the cyclical synchronization ofGDPsobserved in the data, theweak cross-correlation of consumption aggregates, or the sharp swings in the exchange rate.These empirical enigmas have fostered a series of theoretical enhancements to make themodels more consistent with the data. The contribution by Obstfeld and Rogoff (1995) is unquestionably a reference model, as it offers a microeconomic foundation for an open-economy Keynesian framework. Recent studies have attempted to go beyond the neo-Keynesian model by incorporating elements from international-trade and portfolio-choice theories.
