The Effects of Fiscal and Monetary Policy Under Flexible Exchange Rates•Under a flexible exchange rate system
▫Combinations of income and interest rates not on the BP curve will cause disequilibrium in foreign exchange markets Forcing an adjustment in the exchange rate.
•This will cause the BP curve to shift.
![Page 4: IBE303 Lecture 11](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5568c52bd8b42a7c7d8b51e8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Effects of a Currency Depreciation on the BP Curve
Y

A depreciation expands exports and contracts imports.
For any given level of Y, a lower i is required to balance the BOP.

Fiscal Policy Under Flexible Exchange Rates•With perfect capital immobility
▫Fiscal stimulus increases Y and i.▫This creates an incipient BOP deficit,
causing a depreciation and a rightward shift of the BP curve.

Fiscal Policy Under Flexible Exchange Rates•With perfect capital immobility
▫Fiscal stimulus increases Y and i.▫This creates an incipient BOP deficit,
causing a depreciation and a rightward shift of the BP curve.
▫The depreciation increases exports, decreases imports, and shifts IS even farther rightwards.
•This continues until IS, LM, and BP intersect at a common point.

Fiscal Policy Under Flexible Exchange Rates•The bottom line:
▫When capital is relatively immobile Fiscal policy is more effective at increasing
national income.▫When capital is relatively mobile
Fiscal policy is less effective at increasing national income.
▫Between these two extremes, the effect on the exchange rate depends on the relative slopes of LM and BP. BP steeper than LM: depreciation LM steeper than BP: appreciation

Monetary Policy Under Flexible Exchange Rates•With perfect capital immobility
▫Monetary stimulus increases Y, and the increase in imports causes an incipient BOP deficit to emerge.

Monetary Policy Under Flexible Exchange Rates•With perfect capital mobility
▫Monetary stimulus increases Y.▫This generates a large capital outflow and a
depreciation of the home currency.

Monetary Policy Under Fixed Exchange Rates
▫The bottom line: When capital is relatively immobile
Monetary policy is effective at increasing national income.
When capital is relatively mobile Monetary policy is particularly effective at
increasing national income.

Policy Coordination Under Flexible Exchange Rates
▫Coordination of fiscal and monetary policy may make the attainment of other targets besides income possible.
▫Examples of alternative targets include Interest rates Exchange rates.
▫Consider an income and interest rate target of Y* and i*as an example.
![Page 25: IBE303 Lecture 11](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5568c52bd8b42a7c7d8b51e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Effects of Shocks in the IS/LM/BP Model (Imperfect K-Mobility)
▫So far, we’ve examined the effects of fiscal and monetary policy holding a number of factors constant, including domestic and foreign prices, foreign interest rate, and expected exchange rate changes.
▫How are changes in such variables (“shocks”) transmitted through the economy?
![Page 38: IBE303 Lecture 11](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5568c52bd8b42a7c7d8b51e8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Effects of Shocks: A Foreign Price Shock
▫If the foreign price level were to increase, the home economy would expand due to increases in exports and decreases in imports (IS shifts right).
▫The BP also shifts right due to expenditure switching effects of higher foreign prices.
![Page 39: IBE303 Lecture 11](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5568c52bd8b42a7c7d8b51e8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
