Theorem
Under fixed exchange rates changes in domestic credit are neutralized by
changes in reserves. Any change in domestic credit will change the
composition of money supply.
Theorem
Under fixed rates, an increase in real income will increase reserves. Prices will
return to PPP levels.
Theorem

Theorem
Under fixed rates, an increase in foreign prices will increase reserves. Prices will
increase. A small open economy will import foreign inflation under this scenario.

Dornbusch Model
Theorem
Investors’ exchange rate expectations formed adaptively i.e. by
∆Ste = θ (S − St ) where θ > 0 is the sensitivity of market expectations to
over- or undervaluation of currency from equilibrium level, S, therefore

S ↑ : Starting from r = r ∗ + θ (S 0 − St ), r ↓, r0 → r1 where r1 < r0 .
And due to LR effects on prices we haveS ↑, S 0 → S 1 where S 1 > S 0 .
As a result r1 < r ∗ + θ (S 1 − St ). It must be the case that current
exchange rate St > S 1 , to have interest rate parity equilibrium
immediately.e. even higher than the long-run depreciated rate. This is
called overshooting. It results in over-competitiveness at least in SR.

For each time the hypothesis of bubbles is not rejected, there might
be other fundamental processes that explain the price volatility.
