The dominant policy paradigm for studying openeconomy monetary and fiscal policy
Capital Mobility
Meaning- Free flow of capital from one
economy to the other and vice versa
without any restrictions
This implies integration of capital
markets in the world like bonds market
and stock market
This also implies that a resident of any
country will look for the highest yield in
the world market and tends to equate
the world rate of return on capital

Macroeconomic Mechanism
with capital mobility
With capital mobility between countries the
equilibrium in the world market will produce
same level of interest rates (rate of return on
capital)
If country As interest rate becomes less relative
to the Country B, then there will be a capital
outflow from A to B. This in turn will worsen
country As BOP and improve country Bs BOP.
Therefore monetary and fiscal policies of
countries which affect interest rates of
respective countries, can affect BOP conditions
of two countries through cqapital flows.
