Assume the exchange rate is allowed to fluctuate freely. Using the IS-LM-IP model, graphically illustrate and explain what effect monetary expansion will have on the domestic economy. In your graphs, clearly label all curves and equilibria

What will be an ideal response?


An increase in M will cause the LM curve to shift down and the domestic interest rate to fall. As i falls, the return on domestic bonds is less than foreign bonds. This causes an depreciation and an increase in NX. So, the demand for goods rises via the increase in I and NX. We will observe a lower domestic interest rate, a reduction in E, an increase in I, an increase in NX, and an increase in Y.
