Lecture 17: Mundell-Fleming model with perfect capital mobility Fiscal policy – fixed vs. floating rates. Monetary policy – fixed vs. floating rates. The Impossible Trinity – Application to European monetary integration. – Application to emerging market crisis response. ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel

As κ goes to ∞, the interpretation of BP line changes. BP line becomes flat <= slope m/κ = 0. ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel BP i Y i* It’s no longer “KA > 0 above BP=0 line,” or more precisely: “arbitrage forces i = i*.” So BP line says that i is tied down to. If domestic country is small in world financial markets, i* is exogenous at. but rather “KA = +∞ above BP line,”

ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel Consider (with κ=∞) fiscal & monetary policy under fixed exchange rate and floating exchange rate. 23.4

ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel Fiscal expansion. If E is fixed, money inflow (instantaneous & immune to sterilization) brings i back down => full multiplier effect on Y: no crowding out. Monetary expans io n. If E is fixed, money outflow (instantaneous & immune to sterilization) brings i back up => effect on Y = 0. If E floats, instantaneous appreciation brings i back down => effect on Y = 0 : 100% crowding out. If E floats, instantaneous depreciation brings i back up => maximum effect on Y. 23.4

Thus κ=∞ is the limiting case of the results we got in the sequence κ = 0, >0, >>0. Fiscal expansion – loses power under floating. – gains power under fixed rates. Monetary expansion – gains power under floating. – loses power under fixed rates ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel <= crowds out TB (via $ ↑), supplementing traditional crowding out of I (via i ↑); <= no crowding out <= automatic monetary accommodation via reserve inflow. <= stimulus to TB (via $ ↓) supplements the stimulus to I (via i ↓); <= money flows out via BoP.

THE IMPOSSIBLE TRINITY Perfect Capital Mobility (Financial Integration) Truly Fixed Exchange Rates (Currency Integration) Monetary Independence (Full National Sovereignty) We can attain any two of the three desirable attributes, but not all three:

ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel At each corner of the triangle, it is possible to obtain fully 2 attributes. As κ rises, the choice between monetary independence & exchange rate stability sharpens. But not 3. ● Full capital controls The Trilemma, or “Impossible Trinity” Monetary union Pure float ● ●

Application of Impossible Trinity to European monetary integration In the 1992 crisis of the European exchange rate mechanism (ERM), – Spain & Portugal temporarily gave up their new financial openness (reinstating controls). – Britain gave up its new link to the other European currencies, dropping out of the ERM. – Austria & the Netherlands continued to cling to the DM. By the late 90s, however, 11 countries had given up capital controls and (in 1999), their own currencies; – as a result, interest rates converged. ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel

Greece joined in Member countries fully converged in time for 1999 launch of euro. Interest rate convergence in the € zone,

ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel Consequences for euro periphery countries of the loss of ability after 1999 to set their own interest rates In the years before 2008, their economies needed higher i than the i* set in Frankfurt – e.g., Ireland, which had an unsustainably strong boom initially based fully on fundamentals (“Celtic tiger”), but then turning to bubble (via bank loans & housing prices). In the years after 2008, they needed lower i than the i* set in Frankfurt – worsening the recessions in the periphery the Baltics, 2009 Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain,

Application of Impossible Trinity to emerging market crises of A few crisis victims reinstated capital controls (Malaysia, 1998), while some major spectators resolved to keep theirs (China & India). Many crisis victims chose to give up their exchange rate targets: – Mexico (1994), Korea (1997), Indonesia (1998), Brazil (1999), Argentina (2001), Turkey (2002). Some economies re-affirmed their institutionally-fixed exchange rates (Hong Kong), – while others dollarized for the first time (Ecuador, El Salvador). Fewer countries changed regimes in response to the crisis, – in part because exchange rate flexibility was already greater. – Brazil did adopt controls on capital inflows. ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel

Why does i not equal i* for most countries? Country factors, as measured by i-i*- fd (c.i.d.), or by sovereign spread (or other measures that omit currency factor) – Capital controls – Taxes on financial transactions – Transaction costs (e.g., bid-ask spread) – Imperfect information (e.g., mortgages) – Default risk – Risk of future capital controls. Currency factors, as measured by fd (currency premium) – Expected depreciation of currency – Exchange risk premium. ITF-220 Prof.J.Frankel
