โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we study the e!ects of opening an economy, with increasing returns in the production of nontraded goods, on the existence of multiple Pareto-ranked stationary equilibria, local indeterminacy and bifurcations. We consider a standard overlapping generation model of a small open economy, with a "xed exchange rate, where labour is the only input and money the only asset. We "nd that when there are increasing returns, the open economy may display persistent equilibrium endogenous #uctuations (deterministic and stochastic) in the balance of trade and main macroeconomic aggregates.
