Chapter 11 An Introduction to Open Economy Macroeconomics 261

CASE STUDY

The Limits to Macroeconomic Policy

In 1900,Argentina was among the richest countries in the world.Its good fortune

was not to last, however, and by mid-century its per capita income had fallen

behind.Although it still had the highest per capita income in Latin America, the

gap with western Europe and North America was substantial,and it was not get-

ting smaller when it was hit by the Latin American debt crisis and the Lost

Decade of the 1980s (see Chapter 15). The debt crisis was vicious and hard to

shake off.In 1989,seven years after it began,Argentina was still caught in it,and

its GDP fell 7 percent while inflation hit 3,080 percent.Politicians tried a variety

of experiments to get out of the recession and hyperinflation, but none of them

led to sustained growth or brought down the inflation rate. In 1991, a radical

experiment was tried. The country fixed its currency to the dollar at a 1:1 rate

and dramatically restricted the creation of new money. For every new Argentinegroups are considered unemployed. In addition, there are always a number of

people who have voluntarily quit their jobs to look for better ones, and people

who lack the job skills they need to find a job.

In a strong economy, unemployment may temporarily fall to a very low level,

but this tends to resolve itself. Initially, employers may grab whoever is available

to fill their job vacancies, but as the pool of the unemployed dries up, they raise

wages and look for ways to get by with fewer workers.Ultimately,this returns the

unemployment rate to its normal level. Conversely, in a weak economy unem-

ployed workers put downward pressure on wages, which ultimately resolves the

problem of unemployment, since employers hire more workers when wages fall.

The most controversial issue is how long these changes might take. Some

observers believe they happen fast, while others are skeptical, particularly about

the speed at which wages fall.In one sense,the debate over the amount of time it

takes an economy to reach its long-run equilibrium at full employment is a debate

over the meaning of the long run.Is it two years,five years,or ten?

In Chapter 10, we saw that in the long run, purchasing power parity deter-

mines exchange rates. Fiscal and monetary policy may cause deviations from

purchasing power parity, but in the long run, a combination of exchange rate

changes and changes in domestic prices will restore balance to the purchasing

power of national currencies.

The current account must also tend toward balance in the long run.No nation

can run deficits forever,nor can it run surpluses forever.Since deficits are equiv-

alent to foreign borrowing and surpluses equivalent to foreign lending,there are

limits in each direction. The limits are not well defined, however, and countries

such as the United States have been able to run enormous deficits for long peri-

ods,while countries such as Japan have run surpluses.
