Answer to Question 1

Because Norway's interest rate must equal the euro interest rate, any pure shifts in the AA curve (see chapter 19 ) will result in immediate reserve inflows or outflows that leave Norway's interest rate unchanged.

Answer to Question 2

Any independent money supply change in Norway would put pressure on krone interest rates and thus on the krone/euro exchange rate. So by pegging the krone even to a single foreign currency, Norway completely surrenders its domestic monetary control.
