Determine if the following statements are TRUE or FALSE. Explain your answer if FALSE. c. With fully flexible prices, temporary monetary policies are ineffective in boosting domestic output in the short run. d. If the Marshall-Lerner condition fails, an increase in the price of foreign goods raises the domestic current account balance. e. The Policy Trilemma for Open Economies states that governments can only choose two of the following: capital mobility, exchange rate stability, and monetary policy autonomy.
Use the monetary model to estimate the exchange rate depreciation. Suppose that the home country is Costa Rica and the foreign country is Brazil. 1. Suppose that the Costa Rican money supply grows at the rate of 6 percent and the Brazilian money supply grows at the rate of 10 percent. What is the expected rate of depreciation in the Costa Rica colon? 2. Suppose that the Costa Rican money supply grows at the rate of 2 percent and the Brazilian money supply grows at the rate of 5 percent. Furthermore, the Costa Rican economy is growing at the rate of 4 percent and the Brazilian economy is growing at the rate of 2 percent. What is the expected depreciation of the Costa Rican colon? 3. Suppose inflation in Costa Rica is 7 percent and inflation in Brazil is 2 percent? What is the expected depreciation of the Costa Rican colon?
Explain and show the effect of restrictive monetary policy on output under flexible exchangerates and perfect capital mobility by using the IS-LM model.
Explain how the results of monetary policy will change when price and wage variability are included in the fixed price Mundell-Fleming model in the example of a floating exchange rate regime (perfect capital mobility).
Using the IS-LM graph as well as the related equations and assuming an open economy with flexible exchange rates, illustrate graphically and explain carefully what effect an expansionary monetary policy will have on domestic interest rate, domestic output, and US exports, imports and trade balance. Clearly label all curves and clearly label the initial and final equilibria.
The Policy Trilemma states that a country or a monetary union cannot pursue the following three policies at the same time a) free capital mobility, a flexible exchange rate, and an independent monetary policy. b) capital controls, a flexible exchange rate, and an independent monetary policy. c) capital controls, a fixed exchange rate, and an independent monetary policy. d) free capital mobility, a fixed exchange rate, and an independent monetary policy.

Answer TRUE/FALSE/UNCERTAIN with explanations (200 words) In a 2-bloc world economy with flexible exchange rates, the same inflation shock affects both blocs. Tighter monetary policy in each bloc produces exchange rate appreciation.

Assume that prices are sticky in the short run. Use the MM-FX model to demonstrate the effects of each event below. After explaining your reasoning, answer clearly whether there is exchange rate overshooting in each case. In addition, display the time paths of the dollar interest rate, the euro interest rate, and the dollar-euro exchange rate. a) The US central bank decreases money supply by 5% and reverses the policy in three months. b. The US central bank decreases money supply by 5% and reverses the policy in three months. At the same time, US output declined by 2% over the same three-month period. Assume that the elasticity of money demand with respect to output is 1. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism.
