The real exchange rate and external constraint: a re-reading proposal with endogenous elasticity
Abstract
This paper investigates a topic of the agenda about growth models, emphasizing the elaboration of an external constrained model with endogenous elasticity, with an emphasis on real exchange rate level as main tool for the economic development. The model is anchored in Kaldor, Thirlwall and Barbosa Filho’s models and it will demonstrate that external constraint changes in the course of time.
