Capital and labour markets - COFFEE-TEA
The macroeconomic closure assumes full employment of the factors of production (capital and labour). Savings equals investment in the general equilibrium, but regionally the imbalances are closed by a surplus (or deficit) in the current account. An endogenous real exchange rate clears the current accounts and the capital account decreases exougenously in the long-run. Capital stock evolves at each period with the formation of new capital that depends on the investment level in that period and the capital depreciation rate, as described in <xr id="eqn:TEA_eq1"/>.
<equation id="eqn:TEA_eq1"> </equation>
where: is the capital stock in region r and time t; is the investment in new capital goods in region r and time t;
is the depreciation rate of capital in region r.
