According to the Mundell-Fleming model, under: a. floating exchange rates, a monetary expansion raises income, whereas a fiscal expansion does not, but under fixed exchange rates, a fiscal expansion raises income, whereas a monetary expansion does not b. both floating and fixed exchange rates, a monetary expansion raises income, but a fiscal expansion does not. both floating and fixed exchange rates, a fiscal expansion raises income, but a monetary expansion does not. d. floating exchange rates, a fiscal expansion raises...
2. Within the Mundell-Fleming model assuming perfect capital mobility, analyse the effects of a positive shock to money demand i.e., an increase in the demand for money for given levels of income and the interest rate). Consider the effect of the shock on income when the exchange rate is fixed and when it is flexible.
Please explain using Mundell-Flemming model and Foreign exchange Market Model. Show graphs. Please answer part b and c. 3. (16 marks total) Consider the Mundell-Fleming short-run small open economy model, with ri.e., no risk premium), and r given exogenously (a) (5 marks) Suppose foreign governments undertake a fiscal expansion, which raises the world interest rate Assuming the domestic central bank is operating a flexible ex- change rate, use an IS'-LM' diagram to show what happens to output and the exchange...
Q.3 The Mundell-Fleming model takes the world interest rate r* as an exogenous variable. Let's consider what happens when this variable changes. a. What might cause the world interest rate to rise? b. In the Mundell-Fleming model with a floating exchange rate, what happens to aggregate income, the exchange rate, and the trade balance when the world interest rate rises? In the Mundell Eleming model with fived exchange rate what happens to aggregate
Problem 2 (4 points) a) Show graphically using the Mundell-Fleming model the of an introduction of export promotion tools (that improve net exports exogenously, irrespective of the exchange rate). Assume that a country has a fixed exchange rate and perfect capital mobility. (2 p) b) Will the introduction of export promotion policy tools improve net exports (current account balance) in equilibrium, as argued by many politicians? Provide an appropriate graph and explain. (2 p) Problem 2 (4 points) a) Show...
According to the Mundell Fleming model an appreciation of the exchange rate will cause the LM* curve to A) shift to the right. B) shift to the left. C) remain unchanged. D) become flatter.
Consider the Mundell-Fleming short-run model of a small open economy under floating exchange rates described by the following equations (1) through (7). Assume that there are free capital flows and that interest rate parity holds so that where 5 is the world interest rate.

Exercise 3 (7 points): According to Mundell-Fleming (IS-LM-BP) model, which are the consequences (i.e the new equilibrium compared with the equilibrium position before the policy) of an increase in public expenditure if exchange rates are fixed and there is capital immobility? 1 Increase in net exports, same income 21 Increase in income, reduction in net exports Incrase of income, depreciation of the exchange [3] Increase in the interest rate, decrease of income. [1 same income, same interest rate; ® Increase...
Question 6. (20 points) Use the Mundell-Fleming model and diagrams to predict what would happen to aggregate income, the exchange rate, and the trade balance under both floating and fixed exchange rates in response to each of the following policies in a small open economy. a. (10 points) Government of Canada cuts taxes. b. (10 points) Bank of Canada increases money supply
please help with question 8 8) Use the Mundell-Fleming model to answer the following questions about the province of Alberta (a small open economy). a) What kind of exchange-rate system does Alberta have with its major trading partners (the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario)? b) If Alberta suffers from a recession, should the provincial government use monetary or fiscal policy to stimulate employment? Explain. (Note: For this question, assume that the provincial government can print dollar bills). c) If...
