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, andT is net taxes. Investment function is given as I = 20-10i, where I is nominal interest rate. Government spending G = 20, tax Tx = 10, export Ex = 6E + 10, import Im = 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. Suppose that the nominal exchange rate is fixed. The government has increased government spending by 10. What is the level of the exchange rate in the new external and internal equilibrium?
Consider the following small open economy model with production. At dates 1 and 2, the home country receives exogenous fixed endowments y1 and y2 respectively. The home country has access to the international capital market at a fixed interest rate r* at which it can save or borrow. Let the net saving of the home country be s1 and its consumption stream in two periods be given by c1 and c2 respectively.the following maximization problem: Max ln c1 + ln c2 s.t. C1 + S1 = Y1 C2 = C1(1+r*) + Y2 Derive optimal consumption and current account functions and carefully interpret it in terms of a two-period Fisherian graph. Refer to (a).

The following Mundell-Fleming model of a small, open economy will be used in all numerical exercises. It assumes a short-run framework in which prices are constant and output is demand-determined. C = 200 + 0.8(Y − T) I = 500 − 30r NX = 10 − 100e M/P = 50 + Y − 60r r = 2 G = 200 T = 100 M = 4000 P = 2 Assume that the exchange rate is floating. a.) Derive the equilibrium equations for IS* and LM*, sketch a graph of the two equations and solve for the equilibrium values of Y, e and NX. b.) Suppose the Treasury attempts to stimulate the economy by decreasing taxes T from 100 to 20. Calculate the new values of Y, e and NX. With the help of the graph you sketched in (a), explain the mechanism by which a new equilibrium is reached. c.) With all other exogenous variables at their original levels, suppose the Central Bank attempts to stimulate the economy by increasing money supply M from 4000 to 4200. Calculate the new values of Y, e and NX. Explain the mechanism by which a new equilibrium is…
Economists are of the view that the Mundell-Fleming Model is quite useful for explaining economic fluctuations in small open economies. Critically assess this statement.
Consider a world with two countries, the US and Japan. Assuming the standard Keynesian assumptions, please answer the following questions: a) Assuming flexible exchange rates, suppose the US experiences a positive shock to their consumption function so that the entire consumption function for the US shifts upward. Give and explain two reasons why the consumption function would react in this way. b) Draw three diagrams (all pertaining to the US): on the top left, draw the Keynesian cross diagram, on the bottom left, draw an IS - LM diagram, and on bottom right, draw the FX market. Locate the initial point as point A and then show how each diagram is affected by the shock and label as point B, again, assuming flexible exchange rates. Now assume that the US and Japan are in a fixed exchange rate regime. Show how things change and label the new equilibrium, assuming fixed exchange rates as point C (Note: use the same diagrams - i.e., each diagram should have points A, B, and C). c) Explain…
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, andT is net taxes. Investment function is given as I = 20–10i, where I is nominal interest rate. Government spending G = 20, taxTr = 10, export Ex = 6E+ 10, import Im= 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. Find IS curve in the form Y=a-bi+cE, where a,b,c are constants. Type in the answer these constants with spaces and commas between them, that is: a, b, c.
2) On the graph below show how the Solow model will differ if we allow for trade. Assume that the country has a current account deficit. Hint: Remember that national savings is equal to sY+ = It + CA₁₁ where CA, is the nation's current account at time t. Therefore, the (per worker) capital accumulation function will become k++1 - k₁ = syt - cat - (n+ d) k₁, where ca, is the "current account per worker."
KEYNESIAN OPEN-ECONOMY MODEL IN DYNAMICS This section contains questions about a Keynesian open-economy model: • Recall the static IS equation Y = C +I+ G+ X – M. In this section, we assume that the consumption, the investment and the government expenditure are parameters. The trade balance at year t (X – M) is a linear function of the exchange rate Q; and the income Y; such that: X – Mt = aQt – BY; – YYt-1 where a, B and Y are positive parameters. Derive the difference equation that describes the dynamic behavior of the income Y. | What is correct about the dynamic behavior of the model? Select one or more: Select one or more: The model implies that an increase in the income this year will immediately worsen the net export, keeping other things constant. The model implies that an increase in the real exchange rate will be followed by a series of income rises until a new equilibrium is reached. O It makes sense to assume that 2 < 1. 1+3 The model implies that the immediate multiplier…

Assume that a nation initially has an output level of 150 units per period and that consumption is also 150 (there is no investment or government spending). Suppose there is a temporary (i.e. one-period) increase in GDP of 16% in period 0. Assume the country has access to global financial markets with an interest rate of 8%. Assume an infinite time horizon for all questions. The United States has experienced large and growing current account deficits for more than 20 years, whereas Japan has experienced large and growing current account surpluses for roughly the same period. The U.S. economy has grown at faster rates than Japan's over the past 10 years. What might explain the difference? Relate your answer to the relationship between the current account, GNDI, and GDP.
