This paper analyzes the fiscal policy implications set in the Mundell-Fleming (M-F) model and its effectiveness in emerging economies. It also widens the scope of the policy mix with alternative exchange rates. The empirical evidence about the economies of Chile (1991-2003) and Colombia...

By focusing on the episodes of substantial capital account liberalisation and adopting a new methodology, this paper provides new evidence on the dilemma and global financial cycle theory. I first identify the capital account liberalisation episodes for 95 countries from 1970 to 2016, and then...

Foreign-currency exposures on an economy's external balance sheet may jeopardize financial stability when the exchange rate depreciates. In fact, theory suggests that in such an environment it may be optimal for monetary policy in a floating regime to reduce exchange rate variation in order to...

We assess the empirical validity of the trilemma (or impossible trinity) in the 2000s for a large sample of advanced and emerging economies. To do so, we estimate Taylor-rule type monetary policy reaction functions, relating the local policy rate to real-time forecasts of domestic fundamentals,...
