Abstract
This paper examines formulations of external sector behavior adopted in some of the recent applied general equilibrium models. In many cases these models are constructed for single economies and the model-builder attempts to use a convenient external sector specification to close the model. Issues and difficulties with export demand and import supply functions for foreigners which satisfy trade balance, and the modeling of small economy price taking behavior are explored.
