3. Explain why an expansionary monetary policy is not useful for
a small open economy with fixed exchange rate.4.Explain why an expansionary monetary policy is effective for a
small open economy with flexible exchange rate.
Explain how expansionary fiscal policy impacts a small open
economy with a floating exchange rate; and compare that to how
expansionary fiscal policy works for a country with a fixed
exchange rate
Initially a small open economy is in recession. The government
implements expansionary fiscal policy by increasing government
spending. However, central bank worries about inflation and
increase interest rate. Examine the effects of this policy
combination on output, interest rate and the components of demand
under flexible exchange rate regime(Hint:Useopen economyIS-LM
model)
Consider a small open economy that maintains a fixed exchange
rate. Explain what effects a reduction in the interest rate that
prevails in world financial markets would have on each of the
following domestic variables after the economy has adjusted to a
new equilibrium: (i) Real GDP (ii) Domestic interest rate (iii)
Central bank’s stock of foreign exchange reserves (iv) Real
exchange rate (v) Current and non-reserve financial accounts of the
balance of payments

Consider the case of a small open economy with a fixed exchange
rate, perfect capital mobility (i.e., interest parity holds), and
complete price stability (no ongoing inflation). Explain what
effect a decrease in the world interest rate would have on the
following domestic macroeconomic variables:
a. The stock of foreign exchange reserves. b. The money
supply.
c. Real GDP.
d. The price level.
e. The real exchange rate.
The small open economy of Hundred Acre Wood has a fixed exchange
rate and is initially in short-run equilibrium. An outbreak of
COVID-19 occurs and as a result money demand rises AND autonomous
consumption falls. Suppose policy makers would like to keep
fluctuations in the unemployment rate as small as possible, this
implies the best policy reaction would be to:
a) increase the money supply (only)
b) Increase taxes (only)
c) Increase the money supply, cut taxes and cut government...
Suppose a large open economy with fixed exchange rate.A. What happens to income, interest rate in response to a fiscal
expansion?B. What happens to income and interest rate if the central bank
expands money supply by buying bonds from the public?
