Equilibrium in Open Economy
goods market equilibrium –
- Y = C(Y-T) + I(Y,r) + G – IM(Y,e)/e + X(Y*,e)
- NX = X(Y*,e) – IM(Y,e)/e
- Y = C(Y-T) + I(Y,r) + G + NX(Y,Y*,e)
- increase in real interest rate >> decrease in investment >> decrease in output
financial market equilibrium – same in closed and open economy
- M/P = Y L(i)
- demand for domestic money mostly among domestic residents
- foreign residents would have to exchange money to use domestic money >> no point in them having a demand for domestic money (better off holding domestic bonds)
- interest parity condition >> it = i*t - (Et+1-Et)/Et
- E = Ee (1+i) / (1+i*)
- increase domestic interest rate >> decrease exchange rate >> appreciation of domestic currency
IS/LM model – combines financial/goods market equilibria and interest-parity
- IS: Y = C(Y-T) + I(Y,i) + G + NX(Y,Y*, Ee(1+i)/(1+i*))
- interest rate increase >> decrease in investment, net exports >> decrease in output, demand
- LM: M/P = Y L(i)
- equilibrium interest rate determines equilibrium exchange rate
