Aggregate Demand in the Open EconomyMondell-Fleming Model

The Mondell-Fleming Model: an international version of theIS− LM model (IS∗ − LM∗ model)

The key assumption: small open economy with perfect capitalmobility (r = r∗)

The goods market and the IS∗ curve

⇒ Y = C(Y − T) + I(r∗) + G + NX(e)

The money market and the LM∗ curve

⇒ M/P = L(r∗, Y)

Equilibrium exchange rate and income

How a fixed-exchange-rate system works

The commitment of the central bank to allow the money supplyto adjust to whatever level will ensure that the equilibriumexchange rate equals the announced exchange rate

Bretton Woods system: an international monetary system underwhich most governments agree to fix exchange rates in the1950s and 1960s
