Abstract

We construct a small open economy model to analyze the effects of a money-financed fiscal stimulus compared with a conventional debt-financed fiscal stimulus in a liquidity trap. By developing a closed economy model, Gali (J Monet Econ 115:1–19, 2020) highlights the effectiveness of an increase in government expenditure in the debt-financed fiscal stimulus case. However, the money-financed fiscal stimulus is more effective at stabilizing output and inflation in a small open economy than in a closed economy. An increase in government expenditure in the case of the debt-financed fiscal stimulus is less effective, irrespective of nominal exchange rate pass-through, in a small open economy.
