that the nominal exchange rate, ε, is not a fixed number. Because of adjustments of ε in a flexiblerate regime, Pf need not move in lockstep with P even if the absolute PPP condition always holds. Macroeconomics Chapter 18 43 Fixed and Flexible Exchange Rates: A Comparison ? An extreme form of fixed nominal exchange rate is a mon currency. ? a fixedexchange rate system precludes an independent moary policy, at least in the long run. Macroeconomics Chapter 18 44 Fixed and Flexible Exchange Rates: A Comparison ? One advantage of a flexible nominal exchange rate is that it introduces an additional way to satisfy the PPP condition, Pf = εP ? The independence of moary policy under flexible exchange rates is not always desirable. Macroeconomics Chapter 18 45 Extra: MundellFleming Model ?
