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 (Balanced trade/ a trade deficit/ a trade surplus) Now, suppose the government is experiencing a budget deficit. This means that ( National saving will increase/ national saving will decrease/ Domestic investment will increase / domestic investment will decrease) which leads to ( an increase in the supply of / a decrease in the supply of / an increase in the demand for/ a decrease in the demand for) loanable funds. After the budget deficit occurs, suppose the new equilibrium real interest rate is 6%. The following graph shows the demand curve in the foreign-currency exchange market. 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. Summarize the…
Scenario You are a member of the president's Council of Economic Advisers for the country of Manulo. Currently the economy of Manulo is feeling the impacts of the crisis in the nation of Zedland, a major trade partner. Manulo's GDP is currently at $300b and is estimates show that Manulo's economy has the capacity to produce $360b. As a nation Manulo has a Marginal Propensity to Save of 10%, has zero national debt, and its most recent government budget was balanced. Prepare a brief report that answers the following questions: 1. Based on what you explained previously (scenario 4) about short run vs long equilibrium, the president favors immediate action, and wants you put together a fiscal policy response. Which fiscal policy action would you recommend (expansionary or contractionary)? Explain your rationale with words. 2. The president wants to use government spending, rather than taxes, to close the output gap in the economy. The output gap refers to the difference between the…

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?
Suppose that the government deficit is 20, interest on the government debt is 15, taxes are 55, government expenditures are 50, consumption expenditures are 65, ne factor payments are 25, the current account surplus is - 10, and national saving is 40. Calculate the following (not necessarily in the order given): a. Private disposable income = b. Transfers from the government to the private sector = c. Gross national product d. Gross domestic product : e. The government surplus = f. Net exports %D g. Investment expenditures =

Effects of a government budget deficit Consider a hypothetical open economy. The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget. Real Interest Rate National Saving Domestic Investment Net Capital Outflow (Percent) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 7 40 25 -15 6 35 30 -10 5 30 35 -5 4 25 40 0 3 20 45 5 2 15 50 10 On the following graph, plot the relationship between the real interest rate and net capital outflow by using the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the points from the initial data table. 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. Because of the…
Consider two large open economies - U.S. and Europe. If expansionary fiscal policy is adopted in Europe, what happens in the U.S? net capital outflow rises, the real interest rate falls and investment spending rises. net capital outflow falls, the real interest rate rises and investment spending rises. net capital outflow falls, the real interest rate rises and investment spending falls. net capital outflow rises, the real interest rate rises and investment spending falls. In a large open economy, if political instability abroad lowers the net capital outflow function, then the real interest rate: rises, while the real exchange rate falls and net exports rise. falls, while the real exchange rate rises and net exports fall. rises, while the real exchange rate rises and net exports fall. falls, while the real exchange rate rises and net exports rise.

Consider an open economy with a current population of 0.55 million people, and where the potential GDP is $ 3.24 billion. Consumer expenditure is represented by the following equation: C = 60+ 0.75DI. Exports are constant at $500 million, and investors want to spend $ 400 million at every level of income. The government purchases are $300 million, imports are constant at $ 450 million, and taxes are $200 million. - What is the current equilibrium level of real GDP?
