Investment and Interest Rate Policy in the Open Economy



of μ > 1 provided condition (28) is violated. However the region of indeterminacy is small.
For example if ψ = 0.8 then indeterminacy arises provided 1.1 < μ < 1.71, whereas if
ψ = 0.75 condition (28) is satisfied
μ > 1 and thus indeterminacy is not possible.

3.2 Difference System

3.2.1 Domestic Price Inflation

If domestic price inflation is the policy indicator, then the set of linearized conditions for
cross-country differences yields a system of the form:

system. However, the eigenvalue associated with the capital stock dynamics now depends
on the degree of trade openness. Consequently this eigenvalue can be either inside or
outside the unit circle depending on the value of a. The Appendix proves the following:

Proposition 2 Suppose that monetary policy reacts to current-looking domestic price
inflation. Then for an active monetary policy (μ > 1), the necessary and sufficient con-
ditions for determinacy of the difference system are:

(Case I) a > 0.5 and either

13While determinacy of the difference system can also be achieved under a passive monetary policy (μ < 1),
such conditions are not reported since the aggregate system is always indeterminate (from Proposition
1).
