  • The model of monetary policy with fixed exchange rate, is a proxy for the eurozone. The analysis of Fleming-Corden assumes that there are 3 countries involved: H (host country), P (potential partner country), W (rest of the world) In order to maintain internal and external equilibrium, H needs to devalue its currency relative to W, P needs to revalue its currency relative to W However, if they are in an exchange-rate union, H and P must devalue or revalue their currency together If countries deprive themselves of rates of exchange as policy instruments, they impose on themselves losses that are essentially losses emanating from enforced departure from internal balance.
