Fixed exchange rates ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Fiscal policy under fixed exchange rates ,[object Object],Y 1 Results:  e = 0,  Y > 0 Y 2 To keep e from rising, the central bank must sell domestic currency, which increases M and shifts LM* right. Under floating rates, fiscal policy ineffective at changing output. Under fixed rates, fiscal policy is very effective at changing output. Y e e 1

Mon. policy under fixed exchange rates ,[object Object],To prevent the fall in e , the central bank must buy domestic currency, which reduces M and shifts LM* back left. Results:  e = 0,  Y = 0 Under floating rates, monetary policy is very effective at changing output. Under fixed rates, monetary policy cannot be used to affect output. Y e Y 1 e 1

Trade policy under fixed exchange rates ,[object Object],Results:  e = 0,  Y > 0 Y 2 To keep e from rising, the central bank must sell domestic currency, which increases M and shifts LM* right. Under floating rates, import restrictions do not affect Y or NX . Under fixed rates, import restrictions increase Y and NX . But, these gains come at the expense of other countries, as the policy merely shifts demand from foreign to domestic goods. Y e Y 1 e 1

Mundell-Fleming and the AD curve ,[object Object],[object Object],(Earlier in this chapter, we could write NX as a function of e because e and  move in the same direction when P is fixed.)
