Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y =C+l+G+NX, Y =5,000, G = 1, 000, T = 1, 000, C =250+0.75(Y -T), I = 1, 000 – 50r, %3D NX = 500 – 500ɛ, r = r* = 5 (a) In this economy, solve for national savings, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange rate. (b) Suppose that G rises to 1,250. Solve for national saving, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange rate. Explain what you find. (c) Now suppose that the world interest rate rises from 5 percent to 10 percent. (G is again 1,000.) Solve for national saving, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange rate. Explain what you find.

Suppose that the Japanese yen rises against the U.S. dollar-that is, it will take more dollars to buy a given amount of Japanese yen. Explain why this increase simultaneously increases the real price of Japanese cars for U.S. consumers and decreases the real price of U.S. automobiles for Japanese consumers. dollars, and the purchase of a U.S. As the value of the yen grows relative to the dollar, the purchase of a Japanese automobile priced in yen requires automobile priced in dollars requires yen. more fewer
We have the following data for a hypothetical open economy: GNP = $10,000 Consumption (C) = $8,000 Investment (I) = $1,200 Government Purchases (G) = $1,600 What is the value of the current account balance? $. (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary).
In the recent budget announcement, federal minister announced the federal excise duty on mobile phone calls that are longer than three minutes has been set at Rs1 per call, Rs0.1 on every SMS and Rs5 on every GB of internet data. However, the proposed tax was not approved in the cabinet meeting later on. Now suppose if the following tax would have been approved. Use supply-and-demand framework/diagram of the market for internet and voice call packages without the tax. Assume hypothetical values and show the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of such bundles. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by producers? Now draw a supply-and-demand diagram for the internet and voice bundles market with the tax. Show the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of bundles sold. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by…

a) True or False? In Mankiw’s model of an open economy, the demand for loanable funds has two components: one is the need of domestic residents to borrow to purchase newly produced capital goods, and the second is their need to borrow to purchase foreign assets b) True or False? In Mankiw’s model of an open economy, the nominal exchange rate, e, is determined by the interaction of the supply of dollars and the demand for dollars in the market for foreign currency exchange. c) In an open economy, an increase in a country’s real interest rate will (discourage,encourage) domestic purchases of foreign assets and will (discourage, encourage) foreign purchases of domestic assets. Therefore, an increase in the real interest rate will (increase,reduce) net capital outflow. Answer these three sub-parts
Consider the following equations for a small open economy for both the goods and money markets.Goods Market: C = 3000 + 0.8Yd; T = 1000 + 0.3Y; G = 6000; TR = 500; I = 4000 + 0.24Y – 100r; M = 3000 + 0.2Y; X = 2000.Money market: LP = 1000 + 0.15Y; LT = 2000 + 0.25Y – 15r; Ls = 1000 – 35r; MS = 40,000; P= 4a. Derive both the IS and LM equations for the economy and compute the Equilibrium level of Income and Interest Rate.

QUESTION 9 As a result of entering the world economy, Neverland experiences economic boom and its GDP goes up to y= 13250: The functions that describe consumption and investment are still the same: cd(r) = 5000 – 1000r+ 0.25Y and Id(r) = 500 – 1800r +0.2Y. The government wants to take advantage of growth and increases its expenditures to: G- 1000: What is Neverland's current account balance? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.
If the U.S. Dollar appreciates, foreigners will find American goods more expensive because they have to spend less for those goods in USD, meaning with higher prices, the number of U.S. goods being exported will likely drop and leads to a reduction in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). True or False
Suppose policy makers want to increase net exports (NX) and keep output (Y) constant. Which of the following policies would most likely achieve this? A.an increase in government spending B.a real depreciation C.an increase in government spending and a decrease in the real exchange rate D.a decrease in the real exchange rate and a tax increase
Which of the following statements is true? A)The open-economy IS curve is derived in the same way that the closed-economy IS curve is derived. B)The closed-economy IS curve is downward sloping, but the open-economy IS curve is upward sloping. C)Some factors that shift the IS curve in the closed economy in one direction will shift the IS curve in the open economy in the opposite direction. D)Factors that raise a country's current net exports, given domestic output and the domestic real interest rate, shift the open-economy IS curve up.
