Extract

It is now common to encounter references to Phillips’ curves when the problems of particular trading nations are being discussed in academic journals. In addition there are a smaller number of papers which provide a theoretical analysis of one aspect or another of a Phillips curve augmented model of the balance of payments. But to the author’s knowledge, there is no simple account available of the general results which follow from adding a Phillips relation to a Keynesian model of a small open economy. The purpose of this paper is to give such an account and then to provide a brief discussion of the possible extensions and the problems inherent in this approach to the balance of payments.
