1. a. Explain the macroeconomic effects of a monetary expansion in a small country with perfect capital mobility.
b. Explain the macroeconomic effects of a monetary expansion in a small country with zero capital mobility.
Ans ) A small country with perfect capital mobility means a country that does not effect the world interest rate here the investors investment is dependent on the prevailing interest rate in the domestic country as these foreign investors will invest in the country with high interest rate as compare to the country with low interest rate as the capital is perfectly mobile.So the foreign investors will invest in those countries that yields higher return and which intern depend upon perfect mobility of capital and World interest rate here it is to be noted that perfect capital mobility implies capital is internationally allowed to flow without restriction.If there is expansionery monetary policy in a country as the economy has more liquidity because of lowering interest rate hence the World interest rate is higher than domestic interest rate the foreign investors will do capital outflow for earning higher return in the other countries.
Ans 2) If the mobility of capital is zero than foreign investors will not be able to take the advantage of higher interest rates in some other countries.As a result there would not be the effect of foreign capital outflow and return on investment will be based on solely on interest rate but there is no perfect mobility of capital hence to attract investment interest rate is to be made high as compared to world interest rate.

Venus Island is a small open economy with perfect capital mobility. The goods market, exchange rate market and money market is in equilibrium when aggregate income/output is Y1, exchange rate is e1 and interest rate r1. Then the government implemented a contractionary fiscal policy. a. Use Mundell-Fleming model to show and explain, by referring to the events in the each of the markets, the predicted effects of the income tax increase. Assume that Venus Island uses a floating exchange rate....
Why is the new Keynesian macroeconomic model appropriate to analyse the causes and effects of monetary policy in a financial crisis
Problem 3 (4 points) a) Assume that a country is characterised by a small capital mobility and a flexible exchange rate. The government has increased fiscal transfers. Show the new short run equilibrium, referring to the Mundell-Fleming model. What will happen with exchange rate? Answer using appropriate graphs. (1,5p) b) Assume now that the country has "big but not perfect" capital mobility. Repeat a (start from equilibrium). Under which case -"a" or "b" will fiscal policy be more expansionary? Why?...
With reference to the IS-L-BP analysis of a small economy, answer the following questions and provide the required explanation and diagrams. Assuming a country with perfect capital mobility and a flexible exchange rate, examine the effect that an expansionary monetary policy has for the domestic economy. How might the outcome of an expansionary monetary policy differ if the exchange rate is fixed?
1) Suppose the central bank implements a monetary expansion in the current period and is expected to continue this monetary expansion in the future. Use the IS-LM model to illustrate graphically and explain the effects of this policy on current output and the current interest rate.
2. Consider a small open country (Veniceland) with flexible exchange rate and perfect capital mobility. The economy is at the short-run equilibrium, and the domestic and foreign bonds pay the same interest rate. The government aims at increasing households' consumption to stimulate an economic recovery. Which policy should the government adopt? [2p] a. b. Explain the main economic adjustments leading to the new short-run equilibrium income and interest rate. [4p] How does the policy of the government affect the balance...
Question 14 Initially, there is a balanced trade in a small open economy with a perfect capital mobility. Suppose the world interest rate rw increases. Which of the following statement is correct? A. NX becomes positive. B. NX becomes negative. C. NX remains zero. D. It does not provide sufficient information to conclude if NX is positive, negative, or zero. E. None of the above is correct
Which of the following statements about a country with a fixed exchange rate and perfect capital mobility is not correct? (a) Shocks to aggregate demand lead to large changes in output. (b) Domestic interest rates must match interest rates in other countries. (c) Inflation targeting works well. (d) Monetary policy cannot be used to stabilize the economy. What of the following statements about the first thing that firms do in response to a fall in demand is correct? (a) Reduce...
