Abstract
Thispaperexamines theallocation and stabilization of a resource boomin a consequences smallopeneconomy. Boththeintersectoral allocation ofcapital and theprice ofnon-traded goods adjustsluggishly; in contrast the nominal rateadjustsinstantaneously to exchange ensure that theconditions foruncovered interest in thepresence parity ofrational exchange rateexpectations are alwaysmet.The ability ofmonetary to stabilize theeconomy is policy examined, anditis shown that, evenwhenintervention isjustified in principle, errors policy which arisefrom confusing realand monetary shocksmayworsen macroeconomic performance.

I. Introduction
Despite, orperhaps becauseof,thelarge amount ofresearch devoted tothe study of macroeconomic stabilization policy,the 1970sfailedto produce anything likea consensus on thesubject. Muchoftherecent literature has focussed on providing fordeviations explanations from theclassicalnorm of perpetual fullemployment, and on analysing therobustness of various policy under prescriptions alternative the rationales for use ofsuchpolicy. Whileproponents of the "new Classical macroeconomics" have putforwardan equilibrium interpretation of thebusiness cyclein which no constructive role existsfor"Keynesian" demandmanagement, others have invoked wage-price stickiness as a justification forpolicyactivism. However,thisfocuson short-run demandmanagement has distracted attention from thelonger-run implications ofintervention through itseffects on investment and resource allocation. Thispaperattempts to redress the balancebyexploring theinteractions between exogenous shocks, short-run stabilization policy,and long-run resourceallocationin a model which

II. Resource Allocation and Marshallian Adjustment in a Dependent Economy


In thissection we introduce thebasicproduction andconsumption relationshipsof thereal partof our model,and illustrate theresponses of output and resource allocation to structural shocks.We examine bothshortand long-run responses intheMarshallian sensethat somefactors ofproduction are fixedin the short runbut variablein the longrun.However,in this section we abstract from themacroeconomic distinction between short and longrunthat arisesinthepresence ofnominal pricestickiness byassuming perfect priceflexibility. TheModel The modelis characterized by threesectors;the economy produces one non-traded good (services)and two tradedgoods (manufactures and the

In latersectionswe will examinemacroeconomic phenomena usinga framework in which nominal pricesare determined. we confine However, ourattention in thissection and thenextto "real" variables. Hence only relative pricesaredetermined; national income andexpenditure are always equal,implying a zerotrade at all balance times.

III. Marshallian with Adjustment


Relative Price Rigidities

In theprevious & Purvis section, following Neary (1981),we considered the shortshockunder and long-run to a sectoral theassumption adjustment that domestic In thepresent pricesare instantaneously flexible. section we allowforthepossibility that therelative priceofservices adjusts sluggishly in response to imbalances between and demand. thatan supply Recalling increase in therealexchange is equivalent to a fallin therelative rate, sr, priceof services, we maywrite:
r= W(XSICs) I(1) = 0, '>0 (10)

Since labouris the onlyfactor used in the servicessector, equation(10) maybe interpreted as either a labour-market or a services-market adjustment mechanism.8 Thusthepresence ofnon-market intheservices clearing market is equivalent to a departure fullemployment from withthe wage rate adjusting slowlyto eliminate underor over-full employment. The L in equation(5) in the last sectionshouldtherefore parameter now be interpreted as the " natural"rate of fullemployment rather than as a binding constraint whichcannotbe exceededin theshort run.In order to theanalysis simplify we ignore thefactthat departures from this"natural" level maycause either firms or households to face quantity constraints, forcing them to recalculate their decisions on other markets inthemanner familiar from Clower's"dual-decision hypothesis". Hence ouranalysis is strictly applicable onlyin theneighbourhood offull employment, although for theissueson which we wishtofocusthis omission is nota crucial one.9 Whilein thepresent sectionwe allowforsluggish relative priceadjustment, the modelis stilla real one in whichnominal magnitudes are not determined. The dynamic evolution ofthesystem can therefore be illustrated in Fig. 3, whose essentialfeatures are identical to thoseof Fig. 2. However, theeconomy is no longer constrained to lieon thelabour-market equilibrium locus L'L'. Recall thatpointsabove thislocus correspond to excess demand forservicesand henceto upward pressure on their price, and conversely forpoints belowthelocus; theresulting tendencies forthe real exchangerate to adjustare indicated by the vertical arrowsin the diagram. As shownin the Appendix (see equationA.20), the system is globally stable;whether or notit generates cyclicaladjustment pathsdeThe implications of sluggish priceadjustment have beenstudied in open-economy models by,among others, Dornbusch (1976)inthecontext ofgoods-market adjustment andNoman & Jones (1980)in thecontext oflabour-market adjustment. 9 Thisamounts to ignoring theincome effects on thedemand forservices andmoney caused bydepartures from full-employment. Theconsequences of"disequilibrium" spillovers inopen economies havebeenexplored byDixit(1978),Liviatan (1979)and Neary (1980).

InappropriatePolicies and a Resource Boom

In thecase of a foreign pricedisturbance just considered, theappropriate response on thepartofthemonetary authorities was toforego intervention and let the foreign-exchange market to the shock.By adjustcompletely contrast, in thecase ofa resource boomthesluggish ofdomesadjustment ticprices provides a rationale forintervention: someofthetransitional loss of outputand employment could be avoided by a monetary expansion whichwould mitigate the initial rises in the real and nominal exchange rates.'3This assumeshowever thatthe authorities correctly identify the sourceoftheinitial Ifthey appreciation. failto do so then inaction by they in effect toleratethe transitional unemployment attributable to the deindustrialisation effect of the boom. Worse still,if monetary policyis targeted towards exchange-rate stability rather thantowards internal balance it mayexacerbate the medium-run costs of theboomand delaythe 14 attainment ofthenewlong-run equilibrium. These issuesare illustrated in Fig. 8 which repeats theessential features ofFig. 3. Starting in initial equilibrium at A theboomleadsto a newlongrun equilibrium at C. With thesectoral allocation ofcapital andthenominal price of servicesfixedin the shortrun, speculative behaviour in the absenceof intervention mayinducea severenominal appreciation which shifts theeconomy to point F, causing therealexchange rateto overshoot bothitsnewlong-run equilibrium leveland theshort-run equilibrium level which wouldobtain at B ifcommodity priceswereflexible. The boomthus gives rise to a decline in competitiveness of the manufacturing sector accompanied by a risein unemployment. Once againa cyclical adjustment pathis possible,although forsimplicity we concentrate on the case of monotonic adjustment.'5
'3 In adopting this traditionalKeynesian view of the desirability of intervention we are ignoring the possibility thatthe priceadjustment equation (12) mayembodya rationalresponse to a changingeconomic environment, in whichcase it would not be independent of the policy rule adopted by the authorities. 14 Throughout this section we assume that monetarypolicy takes the formof a relatively small number of once-and-for-all changes in the money supply, ratherthan a policy of continually changingthe money supply. '5 Still more complicated adjustmentpaths (withoutany jumps in the exchange rate) would ensue ifspeculatorsforesee such interventions. The effects of anticipatedfuture disturbances on the adjustmentpaths of models with rationalexpectations have been studied by Wilson (1979) and Buiter& Purvis (1982).

Appendix This appendix presents theprincipal equations of themodeland sketches thederivation oftheresults. Further details on theflexible-price case may be found in Neary& Purvis(1981).Exceptwhere otherwise all indicated, variables are measured as natural logarithms, denoted by lower-case symbols (e.g., e=lnE), and expressed in terms ofdeviations from their values in theinitial equilibrium. (Thisis equivalent to choosing units ofmeasurementsuch thatthe initial equilibrium levels of all variables are equal to unity.) Exceptwherenoted,all coefficients are defined to be positive.
