Consider two economies, Northland and Southland, both with flexible exchange rates and independent central banks that target inflation. Northland's central bank has set its policy interest rate at 8% and maintains a long-term inflation target of 6%. Southland's central bank has set its policy interest rate at 3% and maintains a long-term inflation target of 2%. Assuming international financial markets are fully integrated, which of the following statements best analyzes the long-run sustainabili

Long-Run Monetary Policy in an Open Economy
Consider two countries, A and B, both operating with flexible exchange rates and inflation-targeting monetary policies. Country A has an inflation target of 5%, while Country B has an inflation target of 2%. If Country B's nominal interest rate is currently 3%, what would be the approximate nominal interest rate in Country A, assuming the economies are in a long-run equilibrium where financial market expectations have fully adjusted?
Evaluating a Central Bank's Policy Claim
In a long-run equilibrium between two countries with flexible exchange rates and inflation-targeting policies, it is possible for the home country to maintain a nominal interest rate 5% higher than the foreign country while simultaneously achieving a stable exchange rate (zero expected depreciation), even if its inflation target is only 2% higher than the foreign country's.
In the context of a long-run equilibrium between two economies with flexible exchange rates and inflation-targeting central banks, match each economic differential to its corresponding role or equivalent value.
Explaining Long-Run Interest Rate and Inflation Linkages
Consider two countries, the home country and a foreign country, both operating under flexible exchange rate and inflation-targeting regimes. The home country has a nominal interest rate of 7% and an inflation target of 5%. The foreign country has a nominal interest rate of 4% and an inflation target of 2%. Assuming both economies are in a long-run equilibrium where financial markets have fully adjusted, the home currency is expected to depreciate by approximately ____% per year.
Imagine a home country is in a stable, long-run equilibrium with a foreign country. Both countries have flexible exchange rates and inflation-targeting central banks. The home country's central bank then credibly announces and implements a permanent reduction in its long-term inflation target. Arrange the following market and policy adjustments in the logical sequence that would lead to a new long-run equilibrium.
