Money is an international commodity that moves across continents almost as
fast as it moves across the street One of the things that lure money across
international borders is the rate of interest If interest rates are higher abroad than at home, American businesses and investors will move their money out of the USA and into countries with higher interest rates When domestic interest rates are higher, the flow of money will reverse kon ‘hind Wl rey hue
These international money flows are another constraint on monetary policy
Suppose the federal government wants to slow the economy by limiting money-
supply growth Such tight-money policies will tend to raise interest rates in the USA A higher interest rate is supposed to curb domestic investment and consumer
spending But those higher U.S interest rates will also be an attraction for foreign money People holding dollars abroad will want to move more money to the Unites States, where it can earn higher interest rates Foreigners will also want to exchange their currencies for dollars, again in order to earn higher interest rates
As international money flows into the United States, the money supply will expand more quickly than the government desired This will frustrate the government’s policy objectives and may force it to tighten the money supply even more Capital inflows will also tend to increase the international value of the dollar,
making it more difficult to sell U.S exports In sum, the intemationalization of money is one more problem the federal government has to worry about when it conducts monetary policy

The latest development in the debate amongst scientists about what killed the prehistoric dinosaurs is the suggestion that acid rain was the cause Two geologists
from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggest that a large meteor hitting
the earth at 65 kilometres per second would have led to strongly acidic rain falling all
over the world
The two geologists, Ronald Prinn and Bruce Fegley, calculated that if an ice- rich meteor weighing 12.5 million billion kilograms, hit the Earth, it would shock-
heat the atmosphere enough to produce huge amounts of nitrogen oxides This would
result, they say, in strongly acid rain around the world If the meteor were travelling more slowly, or if it were more rock-like in structure, this strongly acid rain would be
limited to a small area so that the world effect would be much less important However, other groups of researchers have suggested that volcanoes, rather than
meteors, could have produced these heavy doses of acid rain, but over a much longer period — over 10,000 years
Prinn and Fegley believe that their theory matches the pattern of animal and
plant life at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago It is well known
from studying rock formations that it was at this time that dinosaurs and many other
groups of prehistoric animals died out Prinn and Fegley suggest one way in which
their theory might be tested Rock layers which have remained undisturbed since the
