The 1-2-3 Model: Tradables, Non-tradables, and Semi-tradables in Trade Models Shantayanan Devarajan Jeffrey D. Lewis Jaime de Melo Sherman Robinson
Macroeconomic Adjustment GDP = C + I + G + E - M GDP + (M E) = C + I + G production + trade balance = absorption Trade shocks and structural adjustment: Expenditure reduction versus Expenditure switching 2
Modeling Issues The specification of goods as tradable, nontradable, traded, and nontraded. The Armington specification in CGE models. The role of the exchange rate in CGE models. Real versus financial exchange rate. 3
Purchasing Power Parity: PPP Exchange Rate R r = R π P Rˆ r = Rˆ + ( ) πˆ Pˆ Rˆ r = 0 Rˆ = Pˆ ˆ π 4
PPP Exchange Rate R has units of domestic currency per $US. R is a depreciation of the exchange rate. 5
Problems If all goods are tradable, then PPP is trivial. All prices set by world prices. Law of One Price. PPP must measure relative prices of tradables and nontradables. Harberger, Edwards, Srinivasan. Underlying Salter-Swan model. 6
Salter-Swan Model Tradables T 1 T 3 absorption cut T 1 T 2 C A T 3 T 2 structural adjustment N 1 N 2 structural adjustment T 3 B Borrowing N 2 N 1 Non-tradables 7
Problems Hard to define tradables and nontradables empirically. Most sectors have some trade. Purely nontraded goods are a very small share of GDP. Requires dichotomous classification of goods: purely tradable or nontradable. 8
Law of One Price Given commodity arbitrage, all traded goods will have the same price in all markets. Very powerful assumption. Common in neoclassical trade theory. Project analysis. Theory of comparative advantage. 9
Law of One Price 1. All domestic prices of tradables are set by world prices. 2. Any change in the price of an import is immediately transmitted to price of corresponding domestic good. 3. Tariff policy is very powerful. Immediately affects price of domestically produced goods. 10
Law of One Price 4. Should observe extreme specialization in production. 5. Should never observe two-way trade (cross hauling). 6. Trade shares are not important. Only tradablility matters. 11
Problems Implications of Law of One Price are all false empirically. Changes in world prices and tariffs are only weakly transmitted to domestic markets. Do not observe extreme specialization. 12
Problems Observe two-way trade in most sectors, and at very fine levels of disaggregation. Trade shares are clearly important. Sectors with large trade shares are more affected by changes in world markets. 13
Armington Insight Specify traded goods as imperfect substitutes for domestic goods with the same sector classification. Allow degrees of tradability rather than dichotomous classification. Armington model provides a good theoretical and empirical framework for analyzing trade policy. 14
1-2-3 Model 1 country, 2 activities, 3 commodities 2 activities, producing D and E. E not consumed domestically. Additional commodity, M, consumed domestically but not produced. 15
1-2-3 Model Aggregate GDP (X) is fixed. Full employment model. Trade balance set exogenously. World prices of M and E are fixed. Total absorption (Q) is endogenous. 16
