Abstract
The monetary approach to the balance of payments provides a relatively new method of analyzing balance of payments difficulties. This thesis seeks to analyze the balance of payments disequilibria that has and continues to plague the Jamaican economy, by utilizing the "new" approach in its strictest form. A brief discussion on the history of the monetary approach is included in order to place balance of payments theory in perspective. The assumptions of the model are discussed within the confines of the small open economy and their relevance to Jamaica. An overview of the Jamaican economy establishes the need for balance of payments analysis. Evaluation of the adopted IMF's model with the use of Jamaican data concludes the monetary approach to be a useful method of analyzing Jamaica's balance of payments.
