This paper propose a two-country, dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium (DSGE) model with endogenous tradability, product differentiation, variously determined physical capital, and an elastic labor supply to explore the propagation of business cycles across countries. The model successfully addresses international relative price dynamics (its a...

I compare this to the work Ghironi & Melitz (2005), which does not incorporate capital accumulation and endogenous labor, and to statistics of the bond economy with no capital adjustment costs taken from Kehoe & Perri (2002). ...
