4. Greece joined the Eurozone formally on 1 January 2002 but ran into a sovereign debt crisis in late 2009. The richer northern European countries decided to bail them out, working together with the IMF and ECB. One strong argument supporting the bailout is the "doom-loop" argument. Could you explain what a doom-loop is and why other Eurozone countries should concern the crisis in Greece given the argument?

1)This question looks at links between the Median Voter Theorem, democratization, and government policy. a) Barry Eichengreen has argued that membership of the Gold Standard was harder to maintain as countries became more "democratic". Explain what the Gold Standard was, and then use the Median Voter Theorem to explain Eichengreen's argument. (Hint: think about what adjustments were required to stay on the GS when a country was losing gold, and consequently which groups may have been harmed by membership.)
If a country is experiencing a budget deficit and the government reduced spending, resulting in a balanced budget. How a country’s shift from budget deficit to balanced budget would affect its investments, economic growth, net capital outflow and currency exchange rate? Use diagrams where necessary?
(a). Explain the difficulties in regulating international banking. (b). Describe alternative forms of capital inflow to finance external deficits and explain why these methods were used in different times.
Question 3 (a) Indicate whether the statement is true, false, or uncertain and explain why. 1. If there is free capital mobility between the United States and Germany, then dollar deposits in New York and Frankfurt should have the same interest rate. 2. If uncovered interest rate parity holds, then returns to carry trade will be zero on average but not necessarily period-by-period. 3. The interest rate in Japan is 0 percent and the interest rate in the United States is 1.75 percent. There is clearly an arbitrage opportunity, as one can become infinitely rich without taking any risk by borrowing in yen and investing in dollars. 4. If the dollar is selling at a discount in the forward market, F/E 1, where & denotes the spot exchange rate (dollar price of foreign currency), F, is the forward exchange rate, and Eţ is the expectations operator conditional on information available to speculators in period t.
4. Net capital outflow and net exports An open economy interacts with the rest of the world through involvement in world financial markets, and also world markets for goods and services. Despite the fact that this involvement often results in an imbalance in these markets, the following identity must hold: Net Capital Out flow = Net Exports That is, any transaction that affects the left side of this equation must also affect the right side. The following problem provides a scenario that illustrates why this identity must remain true. Suppose you work as the purchasing manager for a national chain of buffet restaurants in the United States, and it is time to place your annual order of hot chili oil. You pay $2,500,000 for a shipment of chili oil from a producer in South Korea. Determine the effects of this transaction on exports, imports, and net exports in the U.S. economy, and direction of change is "No change," enter "0" in the Magnitude of Change column. Hint: The magnitude of…

Question: How increasing forces of capital mobility can affect countries' choice of currency regimes? Answer: The force of increased capital mobility has been pushing more and more countries toward full financial integration in an attempt to stimulate their domestic economies and to feed the capital appetites of their own MNES. As a result, their currency regimes are being "cornered" into being either purely floating (like the U.S.) or integrated with other countries in monetary unions (like the European Union). Please explain this answer in greater detail and with an example.
