The Eurosystem's Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) increased the scarcity of safe assets, which caused significant declines and substantial dispersion in European repo rates. However, banks holding these safe assets benefited from this development: First, using the German security...

The purpose of this research is to estimate the dynamic impacts of foreign direct investments (FDI) and exports on economic growth in Peru (1970-2020) using annual series. Starting with the theoretical Mundell-Fleming static model with assumptions, we find that the change in exports does not...

This lecture presents a broad overview of postwar analytical thinking on international macroeconomics, culminating in a more detailed discussion of very recent progress. Along the way, it reviews important empirical evidence that has inspired alternative modeling approaches, as well as...

The Mundell-Fleming model of international macroeconomics originated in the writings of Robert A. Mundell and J. Marcus Fleming in the early 1960s. The key contribution of the model has been a systematic analysis of the role played by international capital mobility in determining the...

This paper sets out to assess whether gross capital inflows to the Philippines are expansionary or contractionary in line with the model predictions and empirical findings of Blanchard et al. (2015). The results indicate that gross inflows are expansionary to output and credit growth. But...

The workhorse open-economy macro model suggests that capital inflows are contractionary because they appreciate the currency and reduce net exports. Emerging-market policymakers however believe that inflows lead to credit booms and rising output, and the evidence appears to go their way. To...

A modern incarnation of the trilemma is essential for understanding the evolving global financial architecture, and for coming up with ways to mitigate financial fragility. The scarcity of policy instruments relative to the policy goals implies complex country-specific tradeoffs between the...

Mit fortschreitender Globalisierung nimmt die Bedeutung internationaler Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zu. In diesem Buch werden deren Grundlagen in vier größeren Themenblöcken vorgestellt. In der Außenhandelstheorie wird gezeigt, inwiefern Freihandel für ein ganzes Land von Vorteil sein kann, und...

We explore the consequences of safe asset scarcity on aggregate demand in a stylized IS-LM/Mundell Fleming environment. Acute safe asset scarcity forces the economy into a “safety trap” recession. In the open economy, safe asset scarcity spreads from one country to the other via capital...

One of the central results in international economics is that an economy cannot have at the same time independent monetary policy, free capital flows, and a fixed exchange rate. Over the last few years, however, this so-called Mundell-Flemming 'trilemma' has increasingly been challenged. It is...

Most trade is invoiced in very few currencies. Despite this, the Mundell-Fleming benchmark and its variants focus on pricing in the producer's currency or in local currency. We model instead a 'dominant currency paradigm' for small open economies characterized by three features: pricing in a...

Most trade is invoiced in very few currencies. Yet, standard models assume prices are set in either the producer's or destination's currency. We present instead a ‘dominant currency paradigm' with three key features: pricing in a dominant currency, pricing complementarities, and imported input...

Diese Studie untersucht Migration und private Transfers im monetären makroökonomischen Kontext. Anhand theoretischer Modelle wird aufgezeigt, wie sich die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Migrationsstrom und den damit verbundenen Transferleistungen der Migranten auf der einen Seite und anderen...

The aim of this article is to present selected modern modeling approaches used in analyzing international transmission of economic impulses (shocks) between countries and in particular the international effects of macroeconomic policy referring to the Mundell-Fleming model’s general concepts....

The aim of the paper is to determine the interdependency of both balance of payments and fiscal deficit in the context of liberalized systems of capital flows with mainly stabile and appreciated exchange rate and their impact on the dynamics of growth of transition economies of Central and...

With the new government, Japan has announced plans for massive monetary expansion through expansion of money base. In this paper after reviewing Japan's monetary policy I use Mundell-Fleming model under assumptions of high capital mobility and flexible exchange rates to demonstrate the changes...
