International Economics

Unit 3Macroeconomic Policy in an Open

Economy. Mundell-Fleming model

1

Previous conclusion

The ultimate effects of a devaluation are in large part dependent upon theeconomic policies that accompany the devaluation.

Economic objectives

- Internal Balance:- Price stability- Full employment

- External Balance:- Equilibrium in the BP

Economic policies

- Aggregate supply policies- Aggregate demand policies:

- Expenditure changing policies. Aim to influence the level of AD- Expenditure switching policies. Aim to influence the composition ofAD 2

Mundell-Fleming model (IS-LM-BP model)

Aim: Analyze the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy

Assumptions:- Domestic and foreign prices are constant- Unemployment- International capital mobility

Economic relationships (Equations).

5

Exports and Government expenditure are considered to be autonomous

The goods market

Derivation of the IS schedule

7

The money market

Ms= D + R (φ =1)

D = Domestic asset (bond) holdings of the monetary authorities =Domestic creditR = Foreign asset holdings (Foreign exchange and any otherinternationally acceptable assets) of the monetary authorities,valued in domestic currency = International reserves

Mt = Mt(Y) Msp = Msp (r)

Md = Ms

Mt+Msp = Ms 8

The foreign sector

X is exogenous

K = K(r)

BP = CA + K = 0

Monetary policy (Example of expansionary MP)

–The Central Bank purchases bonds from the public and injects newly created money. LM to the right–Prices of bonds go up–Interest rates go down–Investment, consumption and income increase–BOP goes into deficit or the domestic currency depreciates

Fiscal policy (Example of expansionary FP)

–G increases (The government pays for this increase by selling bonds) and this increases income. IS to the right–Price of bonds go down–Interest rates go up–Investment, consumption and income decrease–Final result on Y: increases but by less than the increase in G–The CA deteriorates and the K improves: BOP changes? Exchange rates?

As we will see, the exchange rate regime turns out to be crucial to the behaviour of the economy

Limitations of the Mundell-Fleming model

1. Marshall-Lerner condition2. Interaction of stocks and flows3. Neglect of long run budget constrains4. Aggregate supply curve is horizontal5. Treatment of capital flows6. Monetary and fiscal policies are not that flexible7. Exchange rate expectations
