Assume that the expected future exchange rate is unchanged and that the central bank holds the real money supply fixed. Draw an IS-LM-IP diagram to show the effect of the drop in consumer confidence. Label all axes and curves and mark all the values and equilibrium points appropriately.
Domestic economy: Consider two open economies in which the real exchange rate is fixed and equal to one. Consumption, investment, government spending, taxes, imports and exports are given by equations on the right for each economy. Variables with "*" denote values for the foreign economy. C = 11 + 0.7 (Y- T) | = 12 Solve for equilibrium output in the domestic economy Y, and foreign economy Y". (Enter your answer as a whole number.) G = 10 T= 9 Y= 89. IM = 0.3Y Y* = 89. EX = 0.3Y* What is the multiplier for each country? Foreign economy: (For the following numerical responses, round your answer to one decimal place.) C* = 11 + 0.7 (Y*- T") The multiplier for the domestic country is * = 12 The multiplier for the foreign country is G* = 10 T* = 9 IM* = 0.3Y* EX* = 0.3Y .....
Assume that the interest rate is given and equal to i =i0 and also that the real exchange rate is constant. We assume aggregate spending by domestics residents is A = A + cY - bi and net exports, NX are given by Q = Q + mY, where Q is autonomous import spending. Exports are given and equal to X = X. A) What is the total demand for domestic goods. B)What is the equilibrium level of income? Faiz oranının verildiğini ve i = i0'a eşit olduğunu ve ayrıca reel döviz kurunun sabit olduğunu varsayalım. Yerli sakinlerin toplam harcamalarının A = A + cY olduğunu varsayıyoruz - iki ve net ihracat, NX, Q = Q + mY ile verilir, burada Q otonom ithalat harcamasıdır. İhracat verilir ve X = X'e eşittir.A) Yerli malı için toplam talep nedir?B) Denge gelir düzeyi nedir?
An open economy with absolute mobility of capital is described as follows: consumption function is given as C = 50 +0, 8(Y - T), where Y is output, and T is net taxes, Investment function is given as I = 20-10i, where I is nominal interest rate. Government spending G 22-4E+0, 3Y where E - nominal exchange rate (price of foreign currency in terms of domestic currency). For one unit of foreign currency, you can get 3 units of domestic currency. The real money supply is M* /P= 50. The demand for real money is described by the following function: L(Y,i) = 0, 5Y-10i. 20, tax Tr = 10, export Ex = 6E +10, import Im %3D Find BP curve, if the economy is initially in the internal and external equilibrium. Write an equation for BP without spaces and % signs
For an investment in a foreign-currency-denominated financial asset, which of the followings is/are true? * The overall return to such an investment comes only from the return on the asset itself. The overall return to such an investment comes only from changes in the exchange-rate value of the foreign currency The overall return to such an investment comes from both the return on the asset itself and changes in the exchange-rate value of the foreign currency The value of investment (in terms of home currency) increases If the foreign currency value increases relative to my own currency.

If a country has a persistently negative current account, this implies that it is “borrowing” internationally. Explain why and what this means with respect to net capital flows into the country and with respect to the relationship between Saving and Investment in the country.
Question 2 Consider an economy that lasts for two periods, period 1 and period 2. Let T B1 denotes the trade balance in period t, CA1 the current account balance in period 1, and B*1 the country’s net international investment position at the end of period 1. Let r denote the interest rate paid on assets held for one period. Assume net international payments to employees, net unilateral transfers, and valuation changes are always equal to zero, so that in period t = 1, 2: CAt =rB*t-1 =TBt (1) and CAt = B*t − B*t-1 (2) A) Which conditions are needed to show that B*2 = 0? B) Suppose that the country runs perpetual trade deficits. What can you tell about the country’s initial net foreign asset position? Justify your answer. C) If the country starts period 1 with no debt or assets, what can you say about the current account in periods 1 and 2?
Consider an open economy operating under fixed exchange rates. Using the goods market equilibrium condition, illustrate the effect of an increase in the foreign interest rate i * on domestic output and net exports. Explain and give economic intuition for your answer.
