In general, currency crises are associated with severe falls in economic activity. However, a good part of the first- and second-generation currency crisis models does not explicitly model the factors that could explain the recession. Consider a small, open economy with a fixed exchange rate regime and in which investors depend both on the real interest rate, r, as well as a variable, θ, which can be interpreted as a variable associated with the risk of a currency crisis, according to the perception of the agents. Therefore, the investment function can be written as where g1 and g2 are constant positive parameters. For the sake of simplification, assume that variable θ possesses binary behavior, as following described: a. Explain why the perception of a currency crisis negatively affects investments. b. Based on what has been seen in this chapter, especially in what refers to the asset balance sheet currency mismatch of financial institutions, explain how a proxy…
You are the chief economic adviser in a small open economy with a floating exchange rate system. Your boss, the president of the country, wishes to increase the level of output in the short run in order to win reelection. Do you recommend using monetary or fiscal policy? Expansionary or contractionary? Use the Mundell-Fleming model to illustrate graphically your proposed policy. State in words what happens to real output, the nominal exchange rate, the level of consumption, the level of investment, and the net exports,

The equilibrium interest rate determined in the IS-LM model will give rise to an implied exchange rate in an open economy. Which one of the following statements regarding this relationship is INCORRECT? (a) The interest parity condition implies that there is a positive relationship between the domestic interest rate and the exchange rate; (b) An increase in the interest rate will cause an upward movement along the IS curve and the exchange rate will appreciate; (c) A decrease in the interest rate will result in an upward shift of the LM curve and the exchange rate will appreciate; (d) A decrease in the interest rate will result in a downward shift of the LM curve and the exchange rate will depreciate.
Exchange Rate Regime a. Do you agree with the following statements? Explain your responses briefly by using relevant open economy models/equations. i) In the Short Run, a flexible exchange rate regime seems to be less attractive than a fixed exchange rate regime ii) In the Medium Run, the economy with a flexible exchange rate regime will generate higher levels of output compared to when it operates under fixed exchange rate regime b. Consider an open economy with a flexible exchange rate. Suppose there is a 10% increase in the money stock and assume that it increases the price level by the same percentage in the medium run. If the real exchange rate and the foreign price level are unchanged in the medium run, what must happen to the nominal exchange rate in the medium run?
Under a flexible exchange rate regime, if a foreign trading partner goes into recession a. the nominal exchange rate falls and the RER falls, increasing demand for tradeable goods, reducing the balance of trade and reducing demand for domestic goods and services b. the nominal exchange rate rises, which increases net exports and improves the trade balance c.the nominal exchange rate rises and the RER rises, improving the balance of trade and boosting demand for domestic goods and services d. None of the available answers are relevant

Countries lose autonomy to affect GDP through fiscal policy under a fixed exchange rate policy. d. Countries lose autonomy to affect GDP through fiscal or monetary policies regardless of the exchange rate policy. e. Countries retain autonomy to affect GDP through fiscal or monetary policies regardless of the exchange rate policy.
