Suppose a hypothetical open economy uses the U.S. dollar as currency. The table below presents data describing the relationship between different real interest rates and this economy's levels of national saving, domestic Investment, and net capital outflow. Assume that the economy is currently operating under a balanced government budget. Real Interest Rate (Percent) 7 6 REAL INTEREST RATE 10 8 0 Given the information in the table above, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market.

Then use the black point (X symbol) to indicate the level of net capital outflow at the equilibrium real interest rate you derived in the previous graph. 10 6 6 -20 -15 -10 2 -10 0 5 10 15 NET CAPITAL OUTFLOW (Billions of dollars) Domestic Investment (Billions of dollars) 25 30 35 40 45 50 Effects of a Budget Deficit Market for Foreign-Currency Exchange 10 10 QUANTITY OF DOLLARS (Billions) 100 0 Now, suppose the government is experiencing a budget deficit. This means that loanable funds. 20 Demand Because of the relationship between net capital outflow and net exports, the level of net capital outflow at the equilibrium real interest rate implies that the economy is experiencing -O 15 Demand -0 Supply + Equilibrium After the budget deficit occurs, suppose the new equilibrium real Interest rate is 7%. The following graph shows the demand curve in the foreign- currency exchange market. Net Capital Outflow (Billions of dollars) -15 -10 Use the green line (triangle symbol) to show the supply curve in this market before the budget deficit. Then use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the supply curve after the budget deficit. 20 A NCO ** Eqm. NCO Summarize the effects of a budget deficit by filling in the following table.
