The following Mundell-Fleming model of a small, open economy will be used in all numerical exercises. It assumes a short-run framework in which prices are constant and output is demand-determined. C = 200 + 0.8(Y − T) I = 500 − 30r NX = 10 − 100e M/P = 50 + Y − 60r r = 2 G = 200 T = 100 M = 4000 P = 2 Assume that the exchange rate is floating. a.) Derive the equilibrium equations for IS* and LM*, sketch a graph of the two equations and solve for the equilibrium values of Y, e and NX. b.) Suppose the Treasury attempts to stimulate the economy by decreasing taxes T from 100 to 20. Calculate the new values of Y, e and NX. With the help of the graph you sketched in (a), explain the mechanism by which a new equilibrium is reached. c.) With all other exogenous variables at their original levels, suppose the Central Bank attempts to stimulate the economy by increasing money supply M from 4000 to 4200. Calculate the new values of Y, e and NX. Explain the mechanism by which a new equilibrium is…
Under fixed exchange rates and perfect capital mobility, which of the following must occur if the policy to peg the currency is credible?The domestic and foreign interest rates must be equal.The central bank cannot use monetary policy independently to affect domestic output.A contractionary fiscal policy will require that the central bank decrease the money supply.all of the abovenone of the above
Suppose the foreign country is experiencing a recession that reduces foreign output, Y*. To stimulate the economy, foreign central bank pursuits an expansionary monetary policy by reducing foreign interest rate, i*. In an IS-LM-UIP diagram, show the effect of the decrease in foreign output, Y*, and the decrease in the foreign interest rate, i*, on domestic output (Y) and the exchange rate (E), when the domestic central bank matches the decrease in the foreign interest rate with an equal decrease in the domestic interest rate.
Using the Mundell - Fleming short-run model of a small and open economy, with well-labeled diagrams, predict what would happen to i) income, ii) interest rate, iii) consumption, iv) investment, v) exchange rate, and vi) trade balance of the US economy, in response to each of the following shocks under flexible exchange rate system i) banks decide to loan out less funds ii) more foreigners visit US
