Open Economy Macro Theory

Open Economy Macroeconomics studies how countries' economies interact with the world through trade, investment, and financial flows. It examines how factors like exchange rates, international trade, and capital movements influence a country’s overall economic performance, including growth, employment, inflation, and balance of payments. Unlike closed economy models that ignore global interactions, open economy theory recognizes that a country's economy is connected globally, making exchange rates and international policies crucial in shaping economic outcomes. It provides frameworks to analyze and understand the effects of global integration on domestic economic stability and growth.
