![Suppose that we are in a country Localia, again trading LCL as our currency. We are still trading
with Nearovia and their Nearos.
Suppose also that Localia begins at its long-term equilibrium level of Real GDP. Now suppose
that Localia experiences an increased in its autonomous desired investment.
7. If Localia was a closed economy, what would we expect to happen to its Real GDP and
the price level in the short-run? Explain using the AD-AS figure.
8. Suppose instead that Localia is an open economy, that trades both goods and assets with
Nearovia, and the LCL-NER exchange rate is a flexible exchange rate. What happens to
the short-run Real GDP and price level now? Does this flexible exchange rate have a
stabilizing or de-stabilizing effect on Real GDP relative to your answer in Q7? Explain
using the AD-AS figure.
9. Finally, Suppose instead that the LCL-NER exchange rate is a fixed exchange rate instead,
maintained by the Localia Central Bank. Does this fixed exchange rate have a stabilizing
or de-stabilizing effect on Real GDP relative to your answers in Q7 or Q8? Explain using
the AD-AS figure.
10. In the case of this fixed exchange rate, what action does the Central Bank of Localia need
to take to maintain the fixed rate in this example?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc67afd47-73a6-45ab-b513-dac9a3557eea%2F86c132b7-a5c8-4a04-9494-df90374acace%2Flwz5c82_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
