We study the conduct of monetary policy in a continuum of small open economies and obtain a novel closed-form solution that does not restrict the elasticity of substitution between home and foreign goods to one. We give an exact characterization of optimal monetary policy and welfare with and...

We study the conduct of monetary policy in a continuum of small open economies. We solve the model globally in closed form without restricting the elasticity of substitution between home and foreign goods to one. Using this global closed-form solution, we give an exact characterization of...
