Keywords:
Economic Policy, Exchange Rate, Financial Markets, International EconomyAbstract
This note aims to analyze the interactions between two countries whose currencies are linked through flexible exchange rates. This analysis is relevant because the experience with flexible exchange rates shows that interest rates have evolved in the same direction in countries whose monetary and capital markets are integrated and that exchange rates have had wide fluctuations. The work emphasizes the integration of financial markets; Therefore, the economic policy measures taken in a country or changes in expectations not only have internal but also external effects in the very short run.
