M. Mandel et V. Tomsik, Monetary and fiscal policy mix in the Czech Republic - Empirical verification of the principle of effective market classification, E EUR ECON, 39(4), 2001, pp. 6-24
Monetary and fiscal policy should be paired with the economic objectives on
which they have the most influence. The authors have applied Mundell's pri
nciple of reactive market classification (EMC) to the conditions of the Cze
ch economy-a small open economy with a managed floating exchange rate syste
m and a high influx of foreign direct investment. Empirical verification co
nfirmed the requirement of the modification of the EMC principle in the Cze
ch Republic. An application of the modified model in the Czech Republic res
ulted in the following recommendation for the Czech economic policy mix: mo
netary policy should control the internal balance and fiscal policy the ext
ernal balance.
