Suppose a small open economy has the following money demand function: M/P = L (r, Y-T), wherer is the interest rate and (Y-T) is the disposable income. Please illustrate graphically the short-run impact of a tax cut on the exchange rate and level of output in the small open economy under both fixed and floating exchange rate systems. Be sure to label: i. the axes, ii. the curves, iii. the initial equilibrium levels, iv. the direction the curves shift, and v. the new short-run equilibrium.

If a countrys currency is expected to appreciate in value, what would you think will be the impact of expected exchange rates on yields (e.g., the Interest rate paid on government bonds) in that country? Hint: Think about how expected exchange rate changes and interest rates affect a currencys demand and supply.

Question 10 a b and c Assume that there is a free-floating exchange rate. Will the following cause sterling toappreciate or depreciate relative to other currencies? In each case, you should considerwhether there is a shift in the demand or supply curves of sterling (or both) and whichway the curve(s) shift(s). You may assume that the impacts are ceteris paribus, that is,everything else remains the same. Illustrate your answers and give a short explanation interms of currency supply and demand. (a) UK imports increase. (b) UK interest rates rise relative to those abroad.(c) The UK experiences lower inflation than other countries, but with no change in interestrates.

6. In the exchange rate model in Example 7.2, supposethe company continues to manufacture its product inthe United States, but now it sells its product in theUnited States, the United Kingdom, and possibly othercountries. The company can independently set its pricein each country where it sells. For example, the pricecould be $150 in the United States and £110 in theUnited Kingdom. You can assume that the demandfunction in each country is of the constant elasticityform, each with its own parameters. The question iswhether the company can use Solver independently ineach country to find the optimal price in this country.(You should be able to answer this question withoutactually running any Solver model(s), but you mightwant to experiment, just to verify your reasoning.)

(1) In the IS-LM model, how does an increase in money supply affect theIS curve?(2) According to the Impossible Trinity, if an economy wants to allow for free capitalflows as well as to have full control over its currency, which exchange rate systemshould be adopted?(3) In an IS-LM model, if the investors are suddenly less willing to invest, then what effects does this change make to the equilibrium? Explain your intuitions.(4) According to your answers in (3), if the government wants to stabilize the interestrate using monetary policies, how should it behave? If the government, instead, wantsto stabilize the output level using monetary policies, what is your policy suggestion forit?
