In this paper we propose a framework to study the macroeconomic implications for a small open economy of the dollar swap arrangements between its central bank and the Federal Reserve System and its interaction with domestic quantitative easing policies. We incorporate the salient features of such agreements between central banks into a dynamic general equilibrium framework where fiat money is valued. We then determine the monetary policy effects of such swap lines in the local economy. We also characterize the circumstances under which swap lines can be equivalent to a combination of quantitative easing and interest rate management policies.
