This paper shows that the result implied by the Redux model of Obstfeld and Rogoff (1995) - that the exchange rate depreciates in response to balanced-budget fiscal expansions - is completely reversed once we account for two key features of modern New Open Economy Macroeconomics models: home...

In this paper we investigate the role of macroeconomic stabilization policies for the international transmission of productivity shocks and their effects on the external sector. We develop a two-country stochastic Dynamic New-Keynesian 'perpetual youth' model of the business cycle with...

Contrary to widespread empirical evidence, standard NOEM models imply that the real exchange rate appreciates following an increase in public spending. This paper introduces productive government purchases and shows that the real exchange rate can depreciate after a positive spending shock, thus...

This paper studies how the interaction between the monetary policy regime and the degree of home bias in public consumption affects the exchange‐rate response to fiscal shocks in a generalized version of the Redux model of Obstfeld and Rogoff ([M. Obstfeld, 1995]). We show that the joint...
