Suppose a small open economy has the following money demand function: M/P = L (r, Y-T), wherer is the interest rate and (Y-T) is the disposable income. Please illustrate graphically the short-run impact of a tax cut on the exchange rate and level of output in the small open economy under both fixed and floating exchange rate systems. Be sure to label: i. the axes, ii. the curves, iii. the initial equilibrium levels, iv. the direction the curves shift, and v. the new short-run equilibrium.

Coffee grown in Guatemala is priced at 19 Guatemalan quetzal per pound (Guatemalan quetzal, or GTQ, is the currency of Guatemala). Comparable coffee grown in the U.S. is priced at $6.20 per pound. One Guatemalan quetzal trades for $0.13 in the foreign exchange market. Find the real exchange rate from the perspective of the United States and from the perspective of Guatemala, and determine which country's coffee is more competitively priced? Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Real exchange rate from the perspective of the U.S. is ☐ Real exchange rate from the perspective of Guatemala is Coffee is more competitively priced in (Click to select)
If a Japanese car costs P*=1,000,000 yen, a similar American car costs P= 20,000, and a dollar can buy 100 yen, e= 100 yen/$. Car is assumed to be identical and japan is next door to New Hampshire for simplicity: a. What is the real exchange rate? In which country is car more expensive? b. From which country would you buy and which country would you sell?
Suppose a currency is temporarily undervalued by a fixed exchange rate system, such as the international gold standard. Let that currency be the US dollar, and expressed in terms of British pounds. First show this disequilibrium using a supply and demand graph and then Clearly explain how one could profit by arbitraging in dollars using a bill of exchange.
Suppose purchasing power parity is true. What happens to the nominal exchange rate if the price of domestically produced goods (in terms of domestic currency) rises? What happens to the real exchange rate?
The following paragraphs discuss the impact of various economic events on the exchange rate. Complete the paragraphs by filling in the blanks. Use any of the words from the following list (you can use each of these words as many times as you wish but choose carefully - your sentence must make grammatical sense):demand supply left right buy sell imports exports rise fall increases decreases What happens to the current account balance and the exchange rate when the following happens? Suppose that New Zealand firms become more profitable relative to foreign firms and so increase their payment of dividends (everything else held constant). The value for net foreign income therefore ________ and the value of the current account balance will _______. Payment of NZ dividends to foreign owners affects the _______ or/of $NZ while payments of foreign dividends to NZ owners of foreign companies affects the _______ for/of $NZ. Therefore the impact of the change in profit of NZ firms is…
A There are two countries in the world, A and B. Suppose the central bank in country A has an annual inflation target π = 0.02 while the central bank in country B has an 0.03. In the long run, we would expect the nominal exchange rate of country A to appreciate against country B at a rate of about 1% per year. annual inflation target B True or False? Explain. -*
The figure below illustrates the market for Bahamian dollars, where the price of the Bahamian dollar is valued in U.S. dollars. Assume that the Bahamian government wants to peg its currency to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio (one U.S. dollar = one Bahamian dollar). But the current exchange rate is at 90 cents (10 cents below the official peg). What must the Bahamian central bank do to return to the $1 exchange rate A. It would need to reduce the demand for the Bahamlan dollar. B. It would need to reduce the supply of the Bahamian dollar. C. It would need to Increase the supply of the Bahamian dollar. D. It would need to Increase the demand for the Bahamlan dollar. Part 2 Suppose you are a U.S. student and are thinking about visiting the Bahamas for spring break. You would rather the central bank intervened ___ (before or after) spring break. Part 3 Suppose that currently, the exchange rate is 1 Bahamian dollar for 1 U.S. dollar. The price of a Big Mac is $5 in the United States and 3.00…
In an open economy that is on a flexible exchange rate, show the short run effects on output and interest rates of a decrease in money supply. To answer this question, draw the following four diagrams: 1. The goods market, 2. The money market 3. The IS-LM curves, and 4. The interest parity condition. Clearly label the initial and new equilibrium points in each diagram. Provide brief explanations for the changes. What is the effect on net exports?
Suppose the foreign exchange market is characterized by the following equations: Qd = 12.5 – 1.25R Qs = 3.5 + 1.25R where Qd is the demand function for foreign exchange, Qs is supply function of foreign exchange, and R is exchange rate in units of domestic currency per unit of foreign currency (quantity is in million units of foreign currency). ===================== The foreign exchange market described above is Select one: stable unstable unpredictable none of the above
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.
