Abstract

This paper analyzes the liquidity effects generated by foreign exchange controls in a two-country, two-good, two-currency cash-in-advance world economy. Taxes on the purchases of foreign currency induce redistribution of liquidity in international financial markets which results in co-movements of macroeconomic aggregates in the two economies, fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, and changes in welfare of economic agents of each country. As the cash-in-advance constraints generate distortions in the world economy, there will be a welfare improvement if these controls relax the liquidity constraints.
