Your Question:

A small open economy is described by the following equations:

C = 60 +.75(Y -T)

I = 150 - 20r

NX = 150 – 50e

M/P =Y - 40r

G = 1500 M = 2000

P = 2

R* = 5

Assume a balanced budget.

a. Derive and graph the IS* and LM* curves.

b. Calculate the equilibrium exchange rate, level of income, and net exports.

c. Assume a floating exchange rate. Calculate what happens to the exchange rate, the level of income, and net exports if the government increases its spending by 50. Use a graph to explain what you find.
