The goal of this paper is to focus on the theoretical side of their study, and to address the problem of this disconnect through an alternative SOE model where all sectors are inter-connected as described by input-output tables from the National Accounts, and where all goods can be either consumed or jointly employed as fixed and/or intermediate capital. We first develop this model in a dynamic general equilibrium framework and then investigate its implications in the analysis performed by Schmitt-Grohe and Uribe (2018). Through a slightly different calibration strategy and a similar estimation of structural parameters country by country, we find that the average effect of terms of trade shocks on variables of around 10% is confirmed, and that the disconnect between the importance of terms of trade shocks assigned by the theoretical and SVAR model is reduced at the country level. It appears indeed that beyond different debt premium elasticities, capital adjustment costs and processes of terms of trade shocks, the different input-output economic structure and sector-specific labor elasticities across countries, contribute to the explanation of the various impacts of terms of trade shocks.
