Document Summary
Ch 15 - the influence of monetary and fiscal policy on aggregate demand. The theory of liquidity preference - keynes"s theory that the interest rate adjusts to bring money supply and money demand into balance. Flexible exchange rate - a policy by which the value of the exchange rate is allowed to vary without interference by the central bank. In a small economy with a flexible exchange rate, a monetary injection by the bank of canada causes the dollar to depreciate in value. This causes an increases in the demand for canadian- produced goods and services that is not realized in a closed economy. In the end, a monetary injection(more money in the economy) in an open economy shifts the aggregate-demand curve further to the right than it does in a closed economy. Fixed exchange rate - a policy by which the value of the exchange rate is held fixed by the central bank.
