[TOPIC 2_1] Exchange Rate in the Long-Run(I) |
We will examine: i) why exchange rates are related to price levels in the long-run when prices are flexibly adjusted; ii) How price levels are determined in the long-run. |

[TOPIC 2_2] Exchange Rate in the Long-Run(II) |
The role of interest rate in the money demand and exchange rate determination is explained from the long-run perspective. Then, some reasons why purchasing power parity (PPP) fails to hold will be discussed. |

[TOPIC 3_1] Exchange Rate in the Short-Run(I) |
Uncovered interest parity (UIP) condition will be interpreted as a theory of exchange rate determination in the short-run while price levels are fixed. Then, how interest rate are determined in the short-run will be explained. |
|
5. |
|
[TOPIC 3_2] Exchange Rate in the Short-Run(II) |
We combine: i) the long-run theory of exchange rate, ii) the UIP condition, and iii) the short-run theory of interest rate, to develop a comprehensive model of exchange rate determination. Using the comprehensive model, we explain the overshootings of exchange rates. |

[TOPIC 4] National Income and Balance of Payments for an open economy |
How to measure overall economic activities in an open economy is explained. To do so, we see how the production/expenditure/income of an open economy are related in the national income and products accounts (NIPAs), and how international trade in goods and services is complemented and balanced by a parallel trade in assets via the balance of payments (BOPs) accounts. |

[TOPIC 5_1] IS-LM-FX Model (I) |
To describe how an open economy works as a whole, we construct a model (called the IS-LM-FX model) that can explain the relationships among all the major macroeconomic variables in an open economy in the short run. |
|

|
[TOPIC 5_2] IS-LM-FX Model (II) |
Using the IS-LM-FX model, we examine the effects of monetary and fiscal polices under a floating exchange rate. |
|

|
[TOPIC 5_3] Issues around stabilization policies |
Some practical issues around actual stabilization polices will be discussed, within and beyond the context of the IS-LM-FX model. |

[TOPIC 6_2] To Peg vs To Float |
The pros and cons of the floating and pegged exchange rates are examined in the context of the policy trilemma. A case study of two east european countries adopting different exchange rate regimes is also discussed. |
