Question

Consider a small country with perfect K mobility in full eqm (ISXM-LM-BOP) with a recessionary gap, Y<Y Full Employment, FE.

a. If this country has a fixed e, will an “expenditure switching” policy (what is that?) be able to fix this recessionary gap? Why or why not?  Explain and show in the appropriate space. Is sterilization possible?

b. If this country has a flexible e, which macro policy – fiscal policy (FP) or monetary policy (MP) – should it use to get to YFE?  Explain and show in the appropriate space. Use directional arrows to show how all IS components have changed from the initial to the final eqm.
