  1. Economic Modelling Lecture 17 Small Open Economy

  2. Determinants of Output in an Open Economy • Aggregate demand depends on consumption, investment, government spending and net exports. • Consumption depends on disposable income. • Investment on the real interest rate. • Tax revenues on national income. • Exports on foreign income and the real exchange rates. • Imports on domestic income and the real exchange rate. • The real exchange rate is determined by domestic and foreign price levels and the nominal exchange rates. • Nominal interest rate is determined in the money market. • Capital inflow/outflow depends on the difference in the domestic and foreign real interest rates. • Aggregate supply depends on capital stock and labour force.

  3. Mundell-Fleming Small Open Economy Model

  4. Notations in the Above Open Economy Model

  5. An Example of an Open Economy Model National Income Consumption Investment Tax and Spending T =100 G = 100 Net exports Real exchange rate Financial integration Demand for Money Parameters

  6. A Solution of the Model Private Saving: S = Y-T-C = 1280 - 100-1144= 36 Equilibrium Condition: =1144 + 44 +100-8=1280 Model Closure:

  7. Three GAPs: Investment-Saving, Budget and Trade Gaps S(Y) Trade Surplus K-outflow i Private saving +public saving = net export i I(r) Trade deficit K-inflow 0 Saving and Investment

  8. Keynesian Open Economy Model How an Expansion in Income causes Trade Deficit? AD 0 Y M=M(Y) X=X0 + Trade balance Surplus 0 Y Deficit - NX=X-M

  9. Derivation of Net Exports and Investment Saving in an Open Economy AD • Note: • (a) Shows reduction in AD • following an increase in ER • (b) Shows investment saving • balance in an open economy • (c) Shows net export as • a function of the exchange • rate (a) AD ΔNX Y1 Y2 Y (c) (b) e2 e2 e1 e1 IS*(e) NX (e) Y2 y1 NX2 NX1
