Chen, Lai and Tsaur (1988) demonstrated from the perspective of dynamic analysis that Mundell's model of perfect mobility is logically consistent only within the framework of the loanable funds theory. This paper shows that based on the assumption of perfect capital mobility, the conditions for interest rate parity reflect, not necessarily an external balance, bnt an instantaneous securities balance. This paper also points out that Chen, Lai and Chang (2001), in this issue, ignore the implications of perfect capital mobility; therefore, some of their diagrammatic analyses may not be entirely accurate.
