Select and drag answers to each step to describe the following process in the correct order: The process by which the current account may adjust when the government of a country, Tradavia, stimulates aggregate demand by increasing government spending, assuming the country has a floating exchange rate. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 The exchange rate falls Demand for exports falls Current account position may be unchanged Consumption, including consumption of imports, rises Demand for exports increases The exchange rate rises PHILIPS
Suppose more companies begin to “nudge” their employees into saving for retirement throughthe use of automatic enrollment plans. Use the long-run model of a small open economy to graphically illustrate the impact of the rise in retirement savings on the exchange rate and the trade balance. Explain the results of your graphical analysis in detail. Assume that the country starts from a position of the trade balance. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction that the curves shift; and v. the new long-runequilibrium values
Consider the foreign exchange market. For each of the scenarios below, answer thefollowing questions: (1) Which curve moves? (2) In which direction does it move? (3)What happens to the nominal exchange rate in equilibrium (i.e., does the US Dollarappreciate or depreciate)?(a) Brazil places tariffs on US products, limiting imports from America.(b) The US becomes a much riskier place to invest because of widespread politicalunrest.(c) Firms in the UK become much more profitable than those in the US.(d) The global economy surges, sparking higher consumption everywhere in the world.(e) Japan’s central bank cuts interest rates in that country.(f) Mexico’s firms do a much better job of marketing their products to the UnitedStates.
Q4) Suppose that Covid -19 increases the saving rate of all countries, not only the U.S., so R* decreases. Use the DD-AA model with flexible exchange rates to study the effect of higher savings . Q4B) Discuss how changes in Foreign Demand affect U.S. aggregate demand and output through the Current Account. Draw diagrams and justify all your answers.
Use the model of small open economy to predict what would happen to the trade balance,and the real exchange rate in response to each of the following events. Use a graph to illustrateyour answer and explain the graph. Please label the graph completely, including indicating allcurves in the graph and label the axes.a) A fall in consumer confidence about the future induces consumers to spend less and savemore.b) A tax reform increases the incentive for business to build new factories
Define nominal exchange rate and real exchange rate. What are the two main types of exchange-rate systems? What explains the behavior of net exports represented by the J curve? How does real exchange rate affect net exports? Explain and give one example.
The Small Open Economy macroeconomic model assumes that GDP is constant. However, the model could be used to analyze the effects of a one-time increase in GDP as a rightward shift of the supply of loanable funds. What would the model predict about the real interest rate, net capital outflow, net exports, and the real exchange rate when GDP increases? B v E E Pa... v ...
In the foreign exchange market, the supply curve for the dollar is upward sloping. That is, when the exchange rate (foreign currency per dollar) increases, the quantity of dollars supplied increases. Assuming actors have not yet had time to change their expectations about the future exchange rate, when the exchange rate increases, why is the supply curve of dollars in the foreign exchange market upward sloping? Foreign goods and services are less expensive to import. U.S. firms profit more by selling their goods and services domestically rather than selling to foreigners. The expected profitability of purchasing a dollar today to sell in the future rises. U.S. goods are less expensive for foreigners to purchase.
Question 5 In the open-economy IS-LM model, an upward-sloping UIP curve means O the domestic interest rate is positively related to the spot exchange rate in the short-run. O the domestic interest rate is positively related to the future expected exchange rate in the short-run. O the foreign interest rate is positively related to the spot exchange rate in the short-run. the foreign interest rate is negatively related to the spot exchange rate in the short-run.
Consider the model that relates the net export and the real exchange rate. Discuss the impact that imposing an import quota has on the trade position and real exchange rate of an economy. Make sure that you use both words and figures to explain your logic.
Open Economy in the Short Run and The Medium Run Suppose the United States (US) economy is experiencing a recession or a decrease in its level of output Y*. To tackle the problem, the US central bank (The Fed) is to decrease its policy rate (i*). By using ISLM-UIP (uncovered interest parity) framework, explain in words and graphically the effect of the decrease in Y* and i* on domestic output (Y) and exchange rate (E) if the Bank Indonesia does not change the domestic interest rate (i)!
a. In September 1995, Patrick Buchanan, a Republican candidate for president, proposed a 10 percent tariff on Japanese imports to the United States, a 20 percent tariff on Chinese imports to the United States, and an unspecified "social" tariff on imports from developing countries. Use the long-run model of a small open economy to graphically illustrate the impact of these trade policies on the U.S. exchange rate and the trade balance. Assume that the country starts from a position of trade balance. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction the curves shift; and v. the new longrun equilibrium values. b. Based on your graphical analysis, explain the predicted impact of Mr. Buchanan's proposed policies. Specifically state what happens to the exchange rate, the trade balance, the volume of imports, and the volume of exports. Please show the graph while describing each piece.
