Assignment Help Business Economics

Reference no: EM13838544

In Krugman and Obstfeld's International Economics, 8e, Chapter 16, an involved argument is given showing that a permanent fiscal expansion will not affect output even in the short run. It seems to me that this is a saddle point stability argument in disguise. Can someone please help me with a differential equation formulation?
