2. Imports and ExportsNow we allow for international trade. Use the following information from problem 1:C = 400 + (8/9)*DII= 300G= 800T= (1/2)*Y.Suppose that exports are constant at X = 300.Let imports be a fraction of real income: M = (1/9) * Y.a. Give intuition for why imports M are positively related to national income Y in the equationabove.b. Suppose that national income increases by $1. How much will spending on imports increase(the marginal propensity to import) in this case?c. Compute the equilibrium level of national income under international trade.d. Suppose that government spending increases by $120.i) Compute the new equilibrium national income.ii) Based on your numerical answer to (i), calculate the change in national income from aone dollar increase in government spending.iii) Derive the new fiscal multiplier from an increase in government spending using analgebraic equation. Compare to Problem 2.d.(ii). Compare to Problem 1.c.(v).e. Trade Representative: "In an open economy with international trade, government spending ismuch more effective at fighting recessions than in a closed economy." Evaluate.

Consider the economy of the planet Navarro. In Navarro, domestic investment of 400 million imperial credits earned 15 million in capital gains during the year. In addition, Navarro purchased $160 million in new foreign assets and foreigners purchased $10 million in Navarro assets. Assume that the valuation effects total $5 million in capital gains. a. Compute the change in domestic wealth in Navarro. b. Compute the change in external wealth for Navarro. c. Compute the total change in wealth for Navarro. d. Compute domestic savings for Navarro. e. Compute Navarro’s current account. Is the CA in deficit or surplus? f. Explain the intuition for the CA deficit/surplus in terms of savings in Navarro, financial flows, and its domestic/external wealth position. g. How would an appreciation in Navarro’s currency (the imperial credits) affect its domestic, external, and total wealth? Assume that foreign assets owned by Navarroans are denominated in foreign currency.

Consider a non-oil-exporting economy in its long-run equilibrium. Which of the following explains the ultimate long-run effect of a decrease in international oil price on the GDP of this economy? The GDP will ultimately increase. O The GDP will ultimately decrease. The GDP will ultimately be at potential output, in the absence of downward- sticky wages. The effect on GDP will be ambiguous.
Consider the aggregate economy represented by the graph below. Assume the economy is initially in equilibrium at point A. How would the equilibrium price and quantity change if changes in currency exchange rates make exports cheaper? Price level (GDP deflator. 2009-100) P₁ LRAS₁ GDP SRAS₁ Real GDP (trillions of 2009 dollars) AD₁ The equilibrium price would rise and the equilibrium quantity would fall. The equilibrium price and quantity would remain unchanged. The equilibrium price and quantity would rise. The equilibrium price and quantity would fall.
I’m not understanding how to come up with this answer. A little explanation would be great!
