Fundamental Macroeconomic Identity for an open economy
Main Features of an open economy
a. exports and imports with the rest
of the world
b. Capital inflow and outflow
c. Exchange rate system
Fixed -pegged
Flexible –floating
d. External shocks affect income
and employment at home – risks
e. Exchange rate stability
arrangements –(monetary union,
dollarisation)
f. Policy coordination

Competitive Open Economy Need Right Exchange Rate
• Overvalued exchange rate reduces volume of exports
and raises volume of imports
• Overvalued exchange rate raises the production cost
• A stable exchange rate is helpful for investors
• Macro fundamentals for right exchange rates
– Balanced government budget over time
– balanced trade over time
– Reasonable domestic and external debt ratios
– Controlled money supply
– Positive real interest rate

 Inflation both at home and abroad equals
differences in the growth rate of money supply and
growth in money demand due to income growth.
 Liberal economies have free capital mobility: there
is no control in inflow and outflow of capital;
exchange rate is determined endogenously
 weaker economies cannot commit to free capital
mobility and have controls in the mobility of
capital. They fix the exchange rate arbitrarily to
ration the foreign exchange.

Higher domestic interest rate => higher demand for
domestic currency => currency appreciates to make
up the difference
Higher foreign interest rate => more demand for
foreign currency and less demand for domestic
currency => currency will depreciates.
If currency is expected to depreciate in the next
period, exchange rate will be higher today.

Exchange Rate Systems: Capital Mobility

Flexible exchange rates: The UK, U.S. and
Japan, EURO: Free Mobility of Capital

Fixed exchange rates: Controlled Mobility
- Gold standard (19 th and early 20th century)
-Pegs: Setting the exchange rate to the dollar
or some other currencies. Adjust by ( revaluation
and devaluation. Franco-phone countries in
Africa now peg to Euro
-Crawling Peg: Setting an exchange rate target
(allowed change in narrow bands)
 Monetary union (Single Currency, Free Mobility
of Capital): EURO
Lecture 18
26
The Problems of Flexible Exchange Rates
The exchange rate can move for many other reasons
than changes in the domestic interest rate.
Expectations play a large role in the determination of
the exchange rate.
Flexible exchange rate may be subject to large
fluctuations which, in turn, require large movements
in the interest rate which can make the economy
unstable.
Exchange rate may overshoot for a long time
Lecture 18
27
Which countries should have
fixed exchange rates?
 Countries with poor reputation for controlling inflation
 It is better to fix exchange rate with a country with a
heavy trade link
 Country which has relatively little involvement in the
global capital market
 Coutries with high level of foreign reserves.
 Countries with flexible labour market.
Lecture 18
28
Disadvantages of Fixed Exchange Rate System
Giving up the powerful exchange rate tool for external
stabilisation.
Sacrifice of domestic stability for external balance.
Gives up control of its interest rate, no independent monetary
policy
Widespread speculation of a devaluation or shift to a flexible
exchange rate system particularly when
Economy is with higher inflation
Or the currency is overvalued
Fear of Speculative attacks require an increase in the interest rate.
Frequent devaluation creates uncertainty and overvalued
currency causes BOP problem.
Lecture 18
29
Benefits and cost of a Monetary Union and
Optimal Liberalisation?
Which countries benefit from a monetary union?
Criteria for an optimal currency area
 Higher Degree of Trade Link
 Common shocks
 Degree of labour mobility
 Degree of fiscal transfers.
Impossible trilogy:
fixed exchange rate
free capital mobility
monetary independence
Optimal Order of Liberalization
1st goods market (subsidies)
2nd Trade (Tariffs)
Financial market (no control on r)
Full convertibility
