In the linear IS-LM-BP model, monetary expansion is more effective in open economies than in closed economies because lower interest rates cause capital outflows and currency depreciation, which improves the current account and further stimulates GDP; conversely, fiscal expansion is less effective in open economies due to the crowding-out effect where higher interest rates attract capital inflows causing currency appreciation, which worsens the current account and partially offsets the initial fiscal stimulus.
