  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

An expenditure-changing policy alters the level of the economy's total demand for goods and services. An expenditure-switching policy, on the other hand, induces an exchange rate adjustment and thus changes the direction of demand, shifting it between domestic output and imports.

Answer to Question 2

Currency board may not acquire domestic assets and thus cannot lend currency freely to domestic banks in time of financial crisis. Also, limit government ability to surprise the market and have real devaluation.
