XII. 1 Aggregate demand in the short run
![Page 3: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Net export and real ExR• In the short-run, export depends on foreign
demand and real exchange rate, import depends on domestic AD and real exchange rate
• Usual assumption: Marshall-Lerner condition, i.e. net export depends on real exchange rate only (see Krugman, Obstfeld)
• Consequently, assume:– The lower the real exchange rate, the less
competitive domestic goods and services are, the higher the current account deficit (NX drops)
– And vice versa

Aggregate demand and real ExR
• Considering relation between demand for real output and real ExR, ceteris paribus, i.e. when all other variables (interest, taxes, etc.) unchanged– and standard assumption: economy at the
potential output (full employment) equilibrium
• AD = C + I + G + NX , but if only Y and real ExR allowed to vary, we might schematically write AD = AD(Y,e)
![Page 5: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Output determination in the short run
• Short run : prices (and wages) assumed fixed, than real ExR depends of nominal ExR only
• Closed economy in the short run: relation between output and interest (ISLM)
• Open economy in the short run: relation between output and ExR (interest considered as given)
• “ISLM-type” adjustment (see next slide):– Excess demand → inventories↓ → output↑– Excess supply, vice versa
• Combinations of output and ExR, keeping goods market in short run equilibrium: DD curve (see next slide again)

What shifts DD curve?• In general: any disturbance, raising AD,
shifts DD to the right; disturbance, lowering AD, shifts DD to the left
• In our framework, following factors might be relevant:– Expenditures G, taxes T, investment I,
domestic price P, foreign price P*, changes in autonomous consumption, demand shifts between domestic and foreign goods

XII.2 Asset market in the short run
![Page 9: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Output and ExR on the asset market
• Asset market: interest parity condition
• Interest rate determined by equilibrium on domestic money market (see LXI):
• Short run: expectations, foreign interest rate, price and money supply given
• Infinite combinations of output and ExR, keeping asset market in equilibrium: AA curve (see next slide)

XII.3 Short run equilibrium in an open economy
![Page 13: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Equilibrium and adjustment• Equilibrium both on goods and asset
market: intersection of DD and AA curves
• Adjustment speed: faster adjustment on assets market than on goods market

XII.4 Policies
![Page 15: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
XII.4.1 Temporary policies
• Short term policies, expected to be reversed in the future, i.e. expections remain constant
• Prices, wages, expectations fixed• Adjustment obvious – see above what
changes DD and AA curves

Use (and many warnings)
• Both expansionary monetary and fiscal policies– Increase output– Monetary → depreciation, fiscal →
appreciation
• Application: short term reaction to exogenous shocks
• Many pitfalls– Inflation bias– Time lags– Unclear origins of disturbances, etc.
![Page 17: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
XII.4.2 Permanent policies
• Policies that are not reversed → change of expected ExR
• Considering long term effects – after full adjustment of prices, wages and volumes
• Starting point – potential output, natural values, ExR expectation equals actual ExR → domestic interest equals “foreign” interest
![Page 18: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Robert Mundell
• 1932 –• Stanford University• International
institutions (namely IMF)
• International economics
• Mundell-Fleming model
• Nobel price in 1999
![Page 19: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Monetary policy• Money supply increase → shift of AA curve,
but larger than in case of temporary case– Shift due to MS increase– Shift due Ee increase
• Long term adjustment: price increase due to larger money supply (next slide: red color means final positions):– Real appreciation → domestic goods relatively
more expensive → fall of foreign demand → shift of DD curve “up and left”
– Real money supply falls → AA curve, after an initial shift „up“, shifts “down and left”

Monetary policy efficiency
• Long term adjustment:– Return to potential output– Higher price level– Nominal depreciation
• However – in the short term (within a concept of Keynesian policy stimulation) monetary policy is efficient– Increase of output and employment
• Remember ExR overshooting (see LXI)
![Page 22: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fiscal policy
• Permanent fiscal expansion– In reality usually accompanied by
permanent tax increase, otherwise unsustainable
– Remember: balanced budget multiplier = 1
• Open economy– Short term shift of DD curve “up and right”– Permanent fiscal change → increase of Ee
→ shift of AA curve “down and left”

Fiscal policy efficiency• Adjustment on the currency market
extremely fast → after initial DD shift, change in expectation moves the AA curve immediately „down“
• There is no increase of output (and employment) even in the short term (economy will never reach point X)
• Long term adjustment in closed economy– Return to potential output, government spending
crowds-out private investment, inflation• Open economy
– Remains at potential output at appreciated currency
– Aggregate demand for domestic product crowded-out by demand for foreign products (as they became cheaper)
• Fiscal policy inefficient

XII.5 Fixed exchange rate
![Page 26: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Notice• When ExR fixed, but market pressures against
the fix, then Central Bank must intervene– Pressure towards appreciation → purchase of foreign
assets
– Pressure towards depreciation → sale of foreign assets
• Link between Central Bank intervention and money supply– Purchase of (foreign) assets → increase in money
supply
– Sale of (foreign) assets → decrease in money supply
![Page 27: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fixing the rate
• Commitment of Central Bank to trade domestic currency at given rate
• Why fix?– There is no ideal floating in reality– Arrangements for countries in a transitory
stage of economies– Lessons from the past– Regional currency areas (e.g. Euro)
![Page 28: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Equilibrium under Fix• Fix – expected ExR equals actual one• Interest rate parity implies that domestic
interest must equal foreign interest• Implications for domestic money market –
e.g. in case of output increase:– Push towards increase of domestic interest rate
→ push towards appreciation– To keep currency fixed, Central Bank must
intervene → purchase of foreign assets → increase of money supply → interest rate and ExR remain at original levels
• Under fix – automatic accommodation of monetary policy

Stabilization policies under fix (1)
• Only short term effects, try to derive yourselves diagrammatically
• Monetary policies, e.g. increase of money supply by purchasing domestic assets → pressure towards decrease of interest and depreciation (shift in AA) → Central Bank must intervene selling foreign assets → decrease of money supply
• No effect on output and employment, but decrease in foreign reserves exactly equal to original purchase of domestic assets
![Page 31: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Stabilization policies under fix (2)
• Fiscal expansion → increase of AD, shift of DD → increase of output and pressure towards appreciation, at the same excess demand for money and pressure towards interest increase → Central Bank must intervene, buying foreign assets to increase money supply (and to keep fix) → shift of AA → further increase of output, ExR remains at fix
• Fiscal policy has an impact on output (and employment)
![Page 32: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Stabilization policies under fix (3)
• Changes in ExR, assume that Central Bank is credible, i.e. people accept new expected ExR immediately
• Devaluation → increase of exports and AD (why?) → increase of output, excess demand for money, pressure towards interest increase → Central Bank intervention, buying foreign assets → expansion of money supply, shift of AA, new equilibrium
![Page 33: XII. Keynesian stabilization in an open economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681482b550346895db54ee4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
XII.6 Conclusions for stabilization policies
The efficiency of fiscal, monetary and trade policy differs according the exchange rate regime
• Flexible exchange rate (float)– Fiscal policy very little efficient– Monetary policy very efficient
• Fixed exchange rate– Fiscal policy very efficient– Monetary policy very little efficient– Changes in ExR efficient

Literature to Ch. XII
• Krugman, Obstfeld, ch.15-17. Basic text and references there.
• Dornbush, Fischer, ch. 6. Slightly different way of explanation, but it might seem more comprehensive to some
