CONT

ToTEM is an open-economy, dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium model that contains producers of four distinct finished products :consumption goods and services, investment goods, government goods, and export goods. ToTEM also contains a commodity-producing sector. The behaviour of almost all key variables in ToTEM is traceable to a set of fundamental assumptions about the underlying structure of the Canadian economy.

CONT

However, ToTEM extends this basic framework, allowing for optimizing behaviour on the part of households and firms, both in and out of steady state, in a multi-product environment.

OBS

The Terms-of-Trade Economic Model, or ToTEM, replaced the Quarterly Projection Model (QPM) in December 2005 as the Bank [of Canada’s] principal projection and policy-analysis model for the Canadian economy.

  • Prévisions et conjonctures économiques
  • Politique monétaire et marché des changes
CONT

TOTEM est un modèle d'équilibre général dynamique et stochastique adapté à un cadre d'économie ouverte. Il comprend quatre catégories de produits finis :les biens et services finaux, les biens d'équipement, les biens publics et les biensd'exportation. Il compte aussi un volet distinct pour le secteur des produits de base. Le comportement de la quasi-totalité des variables clés de TOTEM a son origine dans un ensemble d'hypothèses fondamentales concernant la structure de l'économie canadienne.

CONT

Cependant, TOTEM va plus loin en permettant de prendre en compte le comportement optimisateur des ménages et des entreprises dans une économie à produits multiples, aussi bien en régime permanent que hors équilibre.

OBS

En décembre 2005, TOTEM (pour Terms-of-Trade Economic Model) a remplacé le Modèle trimestriel de prévision (MTP) à titre de principal modèle utilisé par la Banque du Canada pour l'élaboration de projections au sujet de l'économie canadienne et l'analyse de politiques.

Subject field(s)
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
CONT

Absorption Approach. A method of analysing the effects of a devaluation or depreciation of a country's exchange rate on its balance of trade. The approach focuses attention on the relationship between national product(Y) and national absorption(A), where the latter is defined as the use of goods for the purposes of consumption and investment by the private and public sectors of the economy. The balance of trade(B) can only be positive(i. e. in surplus) if Y exceeds A. Thus in its simplest form the relationship may be written as B=Y-A.

Key term(s)
  • domestic absorption

French

Domaine(s)
  • Politique monétaire et marché des changes
CONT

Si on appelle A, absorption interne, la somme des consommations et des investissements et B, le solde de la balance commerciale, on peut écrire : R [revenu national] = A + B d'où B = R - A. La balance commerciale est négative si l'absorption (dépense intérieure) est supérieure au revenu national, elle est positive si l'absorption est inférieure au revenu national.
