摘要:
This paper studies the response of savings and the production structure (tradeables/non-tradeables) to an increase in future terms of trade uncertainty, holding expected utility constant. There is no international trade in risky assets. The impact on the production structure is studied by analyzing the markets for domestic equity. The paper shows that the response of both non-tradeables production and savings is ambiguous. Cross country evidence indicates that an increase in terms of trade uncertainty leads to a higher fraction of the labor force in the non-tradeables sector.
