Answer to Question 1

One answer is that the terms of trade effects may dominate any other factors.

Answer to Question 2

With the MABP there are not exchange rate changes so international reserve flows respond to changes in PF, Y, and D. With the MAER, there are no reserve flows so the exchange rate changes in response to changes in PF, Y, and D.
