The Global Correspondence Principle: A Generalization

Abstract

This paper generalizes the Global Correspondence Principle by extending, in two major ways, Paul Samuelson\u27s 1971 analysis of the exchange rate response to an international purchasing-power transfer. We analyze the price effect of a shift in any parameter, not necessarily a transfer. We then explore the resulting adjustments in any nonprice variable such as we/fare. As our analysis shows, the direction of these adjustments depends neither on whether they are small or large nor on whether equilibrium is locally stable or unstable
