CES Armington function
The equations below have been used in the calibration procedure in a general form;
more specifically, in the model the same equations apply to private consumption, government consumption, investment and intermediate inputs: therefore Xi has to be replaced byci, gi, invi and qj,i; Mi has to replaced bycmi, gmi, invmi and qmj,i; and cdi, gdi, invdi and qdj,i will replace Di, where the subscripts i and j indicate the production sector; functional parameters and prices are the same for all specific forms.

Cobb-Douglas total imports
The equations for total imports have been used in the calibration procedure in the general form described below; in the model, the same equations apply to private con-sumption, government concon-sumption, investment and intermediate inputs: therefore
Mi has to replaced by cmi, gmi, invmi and qmj,i; and Mij will be replaced by cmji, gmji, invmji and qmji,k, where i and k are production sector indeces and j is index indicating the foreign region; functional parameters and prices are the same for all specific forms.
