Interaction of Fiscal Shocks and Monetary Policy
An economy with a flexible exchange rate and an inflation target experiences a sudden surge in government spending. To maintain the price competitiveness of its exports amidst potential domestic price increases, the central bank implements a policy that leads to a nominal depreciation of its currency. Analyze the combined effect of the initial spending surge and the subsequent currency depreciation on the economy's aggregate demand. Explain the specific mechanism through which the policy response interacts with the initial shock.
