Consider the following open economy. The real exchange rate is fixed and equal to 1. Consumption is given by C = 50 + 0.5(Y – T), investment is I = 20, taxes are T = 10, and the government's budget is balanced. Imports and exports are given by I M = 0.2Y and X = 0.02Y where Y* is foreign GDP. (a) Solve for the equilibrium Y in the domestic economy for any given Y. (b). What is the government purchases multiplier in this economy? If we were to close the economy -- so exports and imports were identically zero - what would the multiplier be? Explain the differences (if any) between the open and closed economy multipliers. (c) Suppose that foreign GDP is 10 times as large as domestic GDP. What is equilibrium domestic GDP? What is equilibrium foreign GDP? If foreign economy is hit by an adverse demand shock and its GDP decreases by 10%, by how much does domestic GDP fall?

Consider a country with no capital mobility and flexible exchange rates. a. Solve for the exchange rate that clears the trade balance as a function of the level of income, Y. (Assume that the trade balance is in the form T =T, + øq– mY where øis a positive constant and q = (eP*/P)). b. Solve for the level of income as a function of all exogenous variables. In what way does the multiplier differ from all other open economy multipliers computed before?
Consider an economy with the given equations. Y = C + I + G + NX Y=$6000 G=$1050 T=$1100 C=$250+0.65(Y−T) I=1000−45r NX=1285−1285? r=r*=6 b. Suppose now that G rises to $1350. Solve for private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange rate.
Suppose that in Tunisia, a small open economy, savings initially exceeds investment. Due to events in the European economy, there is a decline in the world real interest rate. Using a supply and demand diagram, explain what happens in the savings and investment market in Tunisia. Be sure to show in the graph and explain what happens to net exports and net capital outflows. Assume initially that investment exceeds savings in Tunisia.
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?
Suppose that during 2004, country A had exports of goods of $50, imports of goods of $60, exports of servicces plus investment income receipts from abroad of $36, and imports of services plus the sending of payments of investment income abroad of $30. In addition, during 2004, country A made $15 of unilateral transfers abroad and received no unilateral transfers from abroad. Given this information, country A's "balance on current account" in 2004 was a. a $19 deficit b. a $10 deficit c. a $4 deficit d. a $6 surplus
