Question
a Figure 1 shows the exogenous world interest
rate (r*) determines the level of investment
(I) and the difference between saving (S) and
investment determines net capital outflow
and net exports (NX) for a small open
economy. What would happen to I, NX and
S if:
i. The government of this small open economy uses expansionary fiscal policy.
ii. The government of other countries (abroad) uses contractionary fiscal policy.
b Suppose the price of a cup of tea is Rs.50 in Pakistan and $2 in USA, the value of
nominal exchange rate is $0.006364 per PKR. Calculate the value of real exchange rate
(ε) and interprete its meaning. Also, discuss the relationship between net exports (NX)
and real exchange rate.
c Briefly explain the theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) with the help of example.
