A Two-Period Small Open Economy Model
• Two periods – current period and future period.
• Representative consumer with exogenous current-period and future-period incomes.
• The SOE is a price-taker on world credit markets – the real interest rate is exogenous.
• The current account surplus here is equal to savings in the SOE, as there is no investment.

Credit Market Imperfections and Default
• Problems with national indebtedness were important during the financial crisis and after, particularly in southern Europe.
• Use ideas on credit market frictions from Chapter 10 to address sovereign debt issues – model of limited commitment.

Default
• When does a nation default on its debts?
• Default occurs when national debt is large, when the perceived future penalties from defaulting are small, and when the real interest rate is high.

A Small Open Economy with Production and Investment
• Works the same as the real intertemporal model, except the real interest rate is determined on world credit markets, and given to the SOE.
• Current account surplus always adjusts so that the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves intersect at the world real interest rate.
