LARGE ECONOMIES

FIXED EXCHANGE RATE REGIME

FF CURVE

How does y impact y*?

HH CURVE

How does y* impact y ?

Trade Balance Multiplier effect : if y increases --- q* increases --- y* increases

so FF curve is an increasing function

How does FF shift up?

for a given y, if dg* up / dM* up / de* up

Trade Balance multiplier effect : y* increases --- x (export of national country) increases --- y increases

Crowding out effect : y* increases --- Demand of $ increases --- r increases (negative impact on investments) --- y decreases

If dominating effect then HH upwards sloping curve

If domination effect then HH is a downwards sloping curve

SMALL ECONOMIES

FIXED EXCHANGE RATE REGIME

Basic interrelations

IS curve

q increases --- IS down

Appreciation --- q decreases

Basics :* "HH shows the variables which impact the output of the national country" / HH is in function of M because national country is the dominated country as it defends to parity

FLEXIBLE EXCHANGE RATE REGIME

Goods market

Balance of Trade

Determinants Imports : z=z(y+;q+ ) increases with y and increases with q / Exports : x=x (y*+ : q-)

Monetary Market

IS curve

LM curve

Foreign exchange market - Balance of payment

What happens when devaluation occurs (q decreases?)

Marshal Lerner condition : The balance of trade is a decreasing function of the real exchange rate if the sum of elasticity for imports and exports (in absolute value) is greater than one

when q decreases, valuation effect first BOP<0 / Volume effects appears later

Shifts to the left by dg>0 , dy*> 0 , dq < 0

Shift to the right by dMs > 0

Balance of Trade

Financial account

When Perfect Mobility of capital

When Imperfect Mobility of capital

r=r* - eâ

Note: equilibrium is achieved with the variation of e but the Fx market is stable when Marshall Lerner condition is satisfied :

Ex: is BOP <0 then excess of supply of £ leading to drop of Fx rate e to get BOP=0

B=0 curve

System ensures BOP = 0!! with adjustment of e

BOP < 0 then £ down - more x less z - BOP=0 back / BOP>0 then £ more - more z less z back to BOP=0

1) Determine the system of equations / Exo : P, M,g, y star ,r star, P star / Endo: y, r, e

Graphic representation : LM increasing, IS decreasing B=0 depending on mobility

2) Monetary Policy

a) Before adjustment of e / after adjustment of e - plus B=0 e in IS / put y and r on the left

Note: 🚩 In the trade balance - could be Marginal Propensity to import, just replace with the value

Determine the multiplier

Find multiplier before adjustment, when de=0

Explain the effect

dy <0 and dr >0

Contractionary dMs <0
