Description of the Short Course:
This short course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how fiscal policies can impact a country's output, inflation, and foreign debt position within the context of a small open economy. In four lectures, we assess welfare implications across various policy scenarios. We aim to provide answers to two questions: i) fiscal policy can play a stabilizing role in the macroeconomy, particularly in situations where a country faces constraints on adjusting its exchange rate and ii) how fiscal policy can enhance domestic welfare in a small open economy that encounters significant frictions in financial market or factor markets.
