Monetary Policy and Exchange Rate Regime: Proposal for a Small and Less Developed Economy

Author

Listed:

Abstract

We investigate monetary policy under the assumption that a country’s capital market is “open” under the WTO framework while the exchange rate is fixed. Our purpose is to determine if it is possible in this case for the economy to maintain an effective monetary policy for stabilizing the domestic economy. For this, we suggest two institutional restrictions. Given the restrictions, we demonstrate within a macro-dynamic model that monetary policy can still be effective. The implication of such an institutional design for an exchange rate regime is also discussed with special reference to small and less development economies.
