Open Economy Macroeconomics: The Mundell-Fleming Model

In this lecture, I present the central workhorse model of open economy macroeconomics: the Mundell-Fleming model. I first explain the three equations of which it consists (IS curve, LM curve, and IP curve) and then depict the model graphically. Finally, I use the model to analyze the effects of contractionary monetary policy, expansionary fiscal policy, and of a policy mix of contractionary modetary policy combined with expansionary fiscal policy.
