4 Concluding Remarks We have shown that the influential Mundell-Fleming result—that the choice of the optimal exchange rate regime should depend on the type of shock hitting the economy—critically depends on the assumption that while there are frictions in goods markets (in other words, sticky prices), asset markets are frictionless. If we reverse these assumptions—frictionless goods markets and segmented asset markets—we turn the famous Mundell-Fleming dictum on its head: flexible rates are called for in the presence of monetary shocks whereas fixed exchange rates are optimal in the presence of real shocks.

For an extension of our main results to more general rules involving a fixed rate of growth of either the money supply or the exchange rate, see Lahiri, Singh, and Ve´gh (2006). 9. In a stochastic version of the model, the equivalent assumption would be that velocity shocks are white noise. , and Warren Weber. 2001. ’’ American Economic Review 91: 219–225.
