Abstract

[eng] Exchange rate, inflation and interest rate : a model. . The aim of this paper is to clarify the mechanisms involved in a flexible exchange rates regime for a medium size country like France and to discuss the characteristics of present economic adjustments. The paper is based on a model of an open economy which extends the the traditionnal Keynesian models of Fleming and Mundell, by including some monetarist hypotheses : price flexibility, role of anticipations and portfolio behavior in the determination of capital flows. This model does not assume as is usual the hypothesis- that the money supply is controlled by the authorities, this hypothesis being inadequate in the case of France ; this implies that, in the model, there is no equilibrium exchange rate which would guide rational expectations and that some monetary policy is needed under flexible exchange rates. Finally the supply behavior of firms is formalized in a way that differs from both the Keynesian hypothesis of monetary illusion and the monetarist analysis of the natural unemployment rate.. After having estimated the coefficients of the model for France we used it to study the impact of varions disturbances and of economic policies according to the exchange rate regime and to the mobility of capital.. This study shows the central role played by the exchange rate under flexible exchange rates, mainly as a channel of transmission of monetary policy. Because of this, it is more and more difficult to modify the level of activity without ditering prices : these two variables are more closely related under flexible exchange rates than under fixed exchange rates. This interaction implies that inflation can hardly be reduced without diminishing growth.. The main conclusion which is drawn from our simulations is that under flexible exchange rates thé economy is unstable. This is due neither to the specification of the real part of the model, nor to the hypothesis made for critical elasticities, but to the
