- TITLE: Does Currency Depreciation Stimulate Exports? In response to the Great Recession of 2007- 2009, central bankers of various nations adopted expansionary monetary policies to revive their sluggish economies. In theory, these policies reduce interest rates and increase domestic investment and consumption spending, thus stimulating output and employment. Also, when interest rates decline, investors will pull their money out of the country in search of higher yields elsewhere, thus causing the country's currency to depreciate. Therefore, the prices of the country's exports decline, which results in rising exports to other nations, which boosts economic growth. However, in the years following the Great Recession, things did not turn out exactly like economic theory predicts. Why? Recent evidence suggests that a fundamental change has occurred in the structure of international trade that reduces the impact of a depreciating currency on trade flows. What has changed is where businesses…arrow_forwardes Problem 20-04 (Algo) Refer to the World View below.
