Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply - End of Chapter ProblemA fall in the value of the dollar against other currencies makes U.S. final goods and services cheaper to foreigners, even thoughthe U.S. aggregate price level remains the same. As a result, foreigners demand more U.S. aggregate output. Your studypartner says that this represents a movement down the aggregate demand curve because foreigners are demanding more inresponse to a lower price. You, however, insist that this represents a rightward shift of the aggregate demand curve. Who is right and why?Neither of you are right. A fall in the value of the dollar will make imports more expensive for U.S. buyers, eventhough the price level remains the same. Fewer goods will be demanded from the U.S. economy at a given price level,so aggregate demand shifts to the left.You are right. The price level of the United States has stayed the same, but foreign buyers are demanding more goodsfrom the United States. Since more goods are being demanded at a given price level, aggregate demand has shiftedrightward.Both of you are right. The aggregate demand curve will shift to the right, and there will be movement down theaggregate demand curve.Your partner is right. Since the aggregate quantity of goods demanded increases as a result of a price change, thisdevelopment constitutes a movement along the aggregate demand curve.Neither of you are right. The price level in the United States has not changed, so U.S. consumers face the sameincentives as before. There is no movement along the aggregate demand curve and no shift in the aggregate demandcurve.

You are told that Canada conducts much international trade with the United Kingdom. However, the financial and investment flows between the two countries are minimal. Some information has been collected about the state of the economy and the future expectations of Canada and the United Kingdom.

Q3. Recall a barter trade case, where the number N of prices needed to complete exchanges among n goods and services (G&S) is equal to N = n(n -1)/2 without money (but to N = n if money is instead used). This case can be used to account for why the U.S. dollar plays a pivotal role in global forex markets as a vehicle currency. Explain why the U.S. has maintained trade deficits with about 100 countries because of this role of its currency since it de-linked the dollar from gold in 1970. An awful situation is that the U.S. prints the dollar and uses it to buy various G&S all over the world. -
This question relates to the following news article New Zealand dollar drops to lowest value against US dollar since 2020 (27/09/2022) The New Zealand dollar has dropped to its lowest value against its US equivalent since March 2020. The bad news for Kiwis is that it means it'll take longer for consumer price inflation to fall. ...a weak Kiwi dollar means importing is more expensive. "While we do expect inflation rates to slowly fall from here, the longer the New Zealand dollar remains low. the slower it will take for those inflation rates to fall."

Aotearoa's dollar is suffering because the US dollar is being pumped up by the US Federal Reserve lifting interest rates to tackle inflation.
