How is the impact of contractionary monetary policy different in an open economy than in a closed economy?

What will be an ideal response?

In an open economy, the higher interest rate resulting from contractionary monetary policy will affect not only consumption and domestic investment, but it will also affect net exports and net capital flows. Higher interest rates will increase capital inflows and reduce capital outflows, resulting in an increase in the exchange rate which will reduce net exports. The result is that monetary policy has a stronger effect in an open economy than in a closed economy.
