The rational expectations equilibrium of a small open economy can be subject to indeterminacy if foreign monetary … policy does not satisfy the Taylor principle. We study the implications of foreign-induced indeterminacy for the conduct of … monetary policy in a small open economy. In the canonical sticky-price small open economy model, we find that indeterminacy …

We use a VAR with block exogeneity to study the effects of oil price fluctuations on the economies of six ASEAN countries. Our method has an advantage over those used in the literature in that it allows us to focus on the effects of oil shocks while avoiding making unnecessary, and often ad hoc...
