If so, how strongly? Exchange rate regime: float (with independent monetary policy) vs fixed rate (peg or monetary union w/o independent monetary policy) Multiplier: (short-run) increase of output triggered by exogenous increase of government spending by one percent of GDP Fiscal stimulus in response to financial crisis 29 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: 787 billion USD European Economic Recovery Plan: about 2 percent of GDP

7 Exchange rate regimes & multipliers 1. Introduction 2. Empirical analysis 3. Model 4. Conclusion 3/33 Exchange rate regime impacts multiplier General insight: monetary policy matters for multiplier (Woodford 211, Christiano/Eichenbaum/Rebelo 211, Davig/Leeper 211) Mundell-Fleming model: public spending raises income and demand for domestic currency Peg: monetary policy accommodates demand, multiplier >> 1 Float: real appreciation crowds out net exports, multiplier =
