small open economies - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

The Mundell–Fleming trilemma illustrates the trade-offs faced by idealized countries described this term. For 10 points each:

[10h] Give this three-word term that describes certain countries, depending on their total output and level of trade, whose interest rates are determined entirely by international capital markets.

ANSWER: small open economies [or SOE, reject partial answers]

[10e] Policymakers within small open economies may intentionally lower this value to increase exports in a policy known as depreciation. This value is the proportion at which one currency can be converted into another.

ANSWER: exchange rate

[10m] Because small open economies are price-takers of interest rates, their assets face this sort of demand. This demand curve is represented by a horizontal line on a supply-and-demand graph.

ANSWER: perfectly elastic demand [or infinitely elastic demand; prompt on elastic demand]
