Two-country, one-good business cycle models with Cobb–Douglas preferences predict procyclical net exports. The opposite is observed in the data. We show that introduction of preferences that eliminate wealth effects on labour supply remedies this discrepancy. It also improves the model’s ability in matching cross-country correlations.
