In goods markets, the loss of seigniorage (1% of GDP per annum) makes American households spend less, mostly on U.S. goods, leaving an excess supply of U.S. goods to be cleared by a real depreciation of the dollar. The larger the home bias and the lower the elasticity of substitution between home and foreign goods, the larger the required depreciation.
