What happens when there is an expansionary monetary policy under a flexible exchange rate regime to the exchange rate, interest rate, consumption, investment, and net exports? Be sure to include the IS-LM-UIP diagrams in your answer.
Expansionary monetary policy stimulates aggregate demand by reducing rate of interest. This increases borrowings so consumption and investment rises. LM shifts right and income and interest rates are increased.
Now a lower interest rate is associated with Net capital outflow and a net exports. This occurs because NCO reduced demand for domestic currency so the exchange rate depreciates. This reduction in value of domestic currency is shown in the interest parity condition.
