Abstract: | Based on the recursive preference approach, the dynamic and global properties of the two‐country open economy are examined with one good and inputs of labor and capital, with capital being freely traded internationally. First, by showing that the world's consumption increases (decreases) with an increase (decrease) in the world's capital, the global stability of the economy is obtained. Secondly, the nonmonotonicity of consumption between impatient country 1 and patient country 2 is established. Thirdly, with the Cobb–Douglas‐type production function and country 1's technological superiority, the dynamic trade patterns and the asset–debt position are derived. |
