      "heading": "Key Findings",
      "content": "- Cooperative solution:\n  - Features a large exchange rate adjustment that cushions the impact of negative shocks.\n  - Involves a moderate use of unconventional policy instruments.\n- Self-oriented policies (Nash equilibrium):\n  - Entail limited exchange rate movements.\n  - Lead to an aggressive use of unconventional policies in both countries.\n- Overall conclusion:\n  - International policy cooperation allows the exchange rate to play the traditional role of shock absorber."

    {
      "heading": "Policy Implications and Recommendations",
      "content": "- International policy cooperation is important to restore or preserve the exchange rate's role as a shock absorber.\n- Excessive reliance on unconventional policies under self-oriented frameworks can substitute for exchange rate adjustment, potentially reducing the buffering role of nominal exchange rates.\n- Coordinated policy responses may reduce the need for aggressive unconventional policy use while facilitating larger, stabilizing exchange rate movements."
