Britain’s exit from the European Union has aroused much
curiosity among the analysts as what could be the possible consequences on
other countries through trade and investment and on Britain itself, its effect
on the domestic economy with depreciation as a possible consequence at which
everybody is agreed, less imports and high exports, would happen. But, possibly
increasing inflation seems more important from the policies’ perspective to
give them a real edge. Prices play an important role in the economic-growth; a
recent study shows that there is a real connection between the price-level and
the economic-growth rate that the movement in the price-level affects economic-growth
to a significant degree. In short, it means change in the price-level reflect
the level of economic-activity. Moreover, real exchange-rate, real wages and real
interest rates also depend upon inflation and inflation expectation, and they
could affect the growth. The higher price level would lower the real exchange rate
which points that you can buy less foreign exchange and imports and would also
increase exports. Higher inflation and depreciation could be achieved by both,
fiscal policy and the monetary policy by increasing demand and inflation by
increasing liquidity. By manipulating money-supply and inflation the central
banks are mainly trying to increase inflation after cutting the nominal interest
rates to zero and moreover cutting the real wages by inflation when there are
deflation and liquidity-trap pressures, which might demand more efforts. During
the liquidity-trap nominal interest rates are cut to zero and there is an
excess of supply over demand due to high unemployment and recession in the
presence of low wages bargaining power and inflation. Inflation becomes an
important part of the economic-polices at the zero lower bound, then the policy
makers try to lower real interest rate,
real exchange and real wages by
increasing inflation to incentivize employment to increase demand and
economic-growth rates. However, the economic-policies might also try to gain by
disinflation/deflation and achieve higher real interest rate to increase real
return on capital, to increase real-wages and domestic-demand, and also increase
the real exchange rate to increase exports demand, too. Brexit mainly would
lower investment and trade by increasing inflation in the economy. Nonetheless,
if the referendum goes against, that would increase investment, demand and
trade by lowering inflation and increasing real interest, real wages and real
exchange rate. Brexit would be contractionay for the domestic demand by increasing
prices, lower imports and increase only exports by lowering the real exchange
rate, reduces the real wages and demand, also reduces the real interest rate
which means lower savings and investment, means less demand and economic-growth.
Brexit may boomerang at the economic growth rate by lowering demand… domestic
and also international…
