Within the Mundell-Fleming model assuming imperfect capital

supplyfor the flexible exchange rate.
1) Mundell – Fleming model and theory of optimum common
currencies:
a) Assuming perfect capital mobility and flexible exchange rates,
explain the impact on the Irish economy of a decrease in interest
rates in the U.S. In your answer, clearly indicate the effect on
income, rate of interest, balance of payments. (Show your answer
with the help of an IS-LM-BP diagram and explain the mechanisms.
Consider Ireland a small open economy with flexible exchange rates.
b) Are Monetary and Fiscal...
Consider an economy that abides by a standard Mundell-Fleming
model with perfectly sticky prices, imperfect capital mobility, and
flexible exchange rates. Suppose the foreign economy lowers its
interest rate (assume this shock first manifests in the IS/LM/BoP
space).
1. Consider the initial reaction of the shock. Which is
true?
A. IS curve shifts left due to the change in the foreign
interest rate.
B. IS curve doesn’t change since the foreign interest rate isn’t
part of the IS curve.
C....
First Question: In a Mundell-Fleming model with floating
exchange rates and perfect capital mobility, discuss effectiveness
of monetary and fiscal policy.
Second Question: If the British price level rises by 5 percent
relative to the price level in the European Union, what does the
theory of purchasing power parity predict will happen to the value
of British pound in terms of Euro?

Mundell-Fleming Model
a. Show and explain the Mundell Fleming Model as discussed in
class. Show the graph and explain the 4 regions relevant to policy
decisions.
b. Explain the use of the Mundell-Fleming Rule to solve a
combination of Unemployment and BOP deficit. Be sure to explain how
your policies would fix the imbalances.
In the Mundell-Fleming model with fixed exchange rates, attempts
by the central bank to decrease the money supply:
Question 21 a)
Lead to a lower equilibrium level of income
Lead to a higher equilibrium level of income
Must be abandoned in order to maintain the fixed exchange
rate
Must be offset by expansionary fiscal policy
None of the above
In the Mundell-Fleming model, in a small open economy with a
fixed exchange rate, if the government increases government
purchases, then...
a. Consider a small open economy with perfect capital mobility
under the Mundell- Fleming framework. Discuss the effectiveness of
monetary and fiscal policy under different exchange rate
regimes.
b. Briefly explain some of the shortcomings of the
Mundell-Fleming model..
Please provide a full answer.
consider an economy that abides by a mundell fleming model.
Capital is imperfectly mobile, prices are perfectly sticky in the
short run, and the exchange rate is fixed. Assume the current
exchange rate is at its target and the current domestic interest
rate is equal ot the foreign interest rate. Suppose the local
central bank wants to stimulate economic activity by increasing the
supply of money through conventional open market operations. Which
of the following (domestic and foreign) policies would...
