C Sensitivity Analysis
In this appendix we analyze how sensitive the model’s
main results are to changes in the valuation of public con-
sumption and/or relative prices. In particular, we simulate
the effects on output growth and welfare gains as:
•
Changes in the value of public consumption. Pub-
lic consumption is related to consumption of non-
tradables by the parameter
µ
. We simulate an in-
crease in
µ
to 1. This represents a situation where
consumers weight public and private consumption
equally, as opposed to a decrease in
µ
to 0, where
public consumption is pure waste.
•
Change in relative prices (
q
xh
,
q
xa
and
q
xm
). The Boli-
vian Central Bank has computed these relative prices
for the basic exportable products of Bolivia. Accord-
ing to these calculations, we simulate a 10-percent in-
crease and decrease in the three prices.
The following figures display the results:
