Economics The following graph shows exports from Japan as a function of the exchange rate. Exports from Japan Exports from Japan EXPORTS (Yen) Referring to the graph, why does the line showing exports from Japan slope downward? O The lower the price of the yen in terms of dollars, the lower the exports from Japan into the United States. O The higher the price of the yen in terms of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan into the United States. O The lower the price of the yen in terms of dollars, the higher the exports from the United States into Japan. O The lower the price of the yen in terms of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan into the United States. On the previous graph, adjust the position of the blue point (circle symbol) on the curve to show what happens when the exchange rate (measured in dollars per yen) decreases. (Note: Select and drag the blue point along the curve. The point will snap into position, so if you try to move the point and it snaps back to its…
Consider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget.

Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market. On the following graph, plot the relationship between the real…

At the official exchange rate of 2.5 dirham per euro, the euro is and the Moroccan dirham is that Moroccans pay for European exports than they would with a free-floating exchange rate. At the official dirham price of euros, there is a of euros in the foreign exchange market. which means Suppose the governments of the Eurozone and Morocco reevaluate their currencies so that their official exchange rate is now 1 dirham per 1 euro. This action results in of the euro.
Suppose that the government decides to cut spending. In a three graphs diagram, show theimpact of this policy on real interest rate, national saving, investment, net capital outflows,demand for currency (NX), and supply of currency? Will the currency appreciate ordepreciate?
10.Suppose in a small open economy, real GDP is $500 billion, consumption is $300 billion, investment is $120 billion, government purchases equal $100 billion, exports are $80 billion, and imports are $100 billion. whether this small country’s interest rate, rE, is above, below, or equal to the world interest rate, rw? Is S>I or I>S, or S=I in this economy? Using the saving-investment diagram for a small open economy, show your answer on the graph. Clearly mark both rE and rw and trade deficit/surplus (or capital inflow/outflow).

4. Net capital outflow and net exports An open economy interacts with the rest of the world through its involvement in world markets for goods and services and world financial markets. Although it can often result in an imbalance in these markets, the following identity must remain true: Net Capital Outflow = Net Exports In other words, if a transaction directly affects the left side of this equation, then :must also affect the right side. The following problem will help you understand why this identity must hold. Suppose you are a fashion designer living in the United States, and a trendy boutique in Bangkok just purchased your entire inventory for THB 90,000. Determine the effects of this transaction on exports, imports, and net exports in the U.S. economy, and enter your results in the following table. If the direction of change is "No change," enter "0" in the Magnitude of Change column. Hint: The magnitude of change should always be positive, regardless of the direction of change.…
The exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Japanese yen is determined in a flexible foreign exchange market. A. Assume that Japan is currently in a recession. What fiscal policy action could the Japanese government take to eliminate the recession? B. What would be the effect of the fiscal policy action identified in Part A on interest rates in Japan? C. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the foreign exchange market for the United States dollar. Show on your graph the impact of the change in interest rates identified in Part B on each of the following: i. The supply of United States dollars i. The equilibrium exchange rate of the United States dollar D. What would be the effect of the change in the exchange rate identified in Part Cil on United States imports? E. What would be the effect of the change in United States exports identified in Part D on United States unemployment?
9. Consider savings-investment diagrams assuming that there are two countries in the world, A and B. Initially, both countries are identical, i.e., they have the same supply of savings and demand for investment. Therefore, even as open economies, they both have balanced current accounts, i.e., neither has a deficit or surplus. Now assume that in country A, the government increases the budget deficit, shifting the supply of savings to the left. If all other curves (A s investment demand, B s savings supply, B s investment demand) stay the same, what will the effect of the increase in A's budget deficit? a. Country B will have a CA surplus. b. Country A will have a KFA deficit. c. Investment in country B will increase. d. The world real interest rate will fall.
