Imagine that the economy of Germany finds itself in the following situation: the government budget has a surplus of 1 of Germanys GDP; private savings is 20 of GDP; and physical investment is 18 of GDP. Based on the national saving and investment identity, what is the current account balance? If the government budget surplus falls to zero, how will this affect the current account balance?
If a countrys currency is expected to appreciate in value, what would you think will be the impact of expected exchange rates on yields (e.g., the Interest rate paid on government bonds) in that country? Hint: Think about how expected exchange rate changes and interest rates affect a currencys demand and supply.
1. Multipliers, openness, and fiscal policy Consider an open economy characterized by the equations below C =c, +c(Y -T) I = d, + d,Y IM = m,Y X = x,Y * The parameters m, and x, are the propensities to import and export. Assume that the real exchange rate is fixed at a value of 1 and treat foreign income, Y*, as fixed. Also assume that taxes are fixed and that government purchases are exogenous (ie., decided by the government). We explore the effectiveness of changes in Gunder altenative assumptions about the propensity to import. a. Write the equilibrium condition in the market for domestic goods and solve for Y. b. Suppose government purchases increase by one unit. What is the effect on output? (Assume that 0

a Figure 1 shows the exogenous world interest rate (r*) determines the level of investment (I) and the difference between saving (S) and investment determines net capital outflow and net exports (NX) for a small open economy. What would happen to I, NX and S if: i. The government of this small open economy uses expansionary fiscal policy. ii. The government of other countries (abroad) uses contractionary fiscal policy. b Suppose the price of a cup of tea is Rs.50 in Pakistan and $2 in USA, the value of nominal exchange rate is $0.006364 per PKR. Calculate the value of real exchange rate (ε) and interprete its meaning. Also, discuss the relationship between net exports (NX) and real exchange rate. c Briefly explain the theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) with the help of example.
a. Explain why temporary and permanent fiscal expansions do not have different effects under fixed exchange rates, as they do under floating b. If you were in charge of macroeconomic policies in a small open economy, what qualitative effect would each of the following events have on your target for external balance? I. Large deposits of uranium are discovered in the interior of your country. II. The world price of your main export good, copper, rises permanently. III. The world price of copper rises temporarily. IV. There is a temporary rise in the world price of oil.
8. In a small open economy, net exports NX depend negatively on domestic in- come Y and negatively on the real exchange rate & = = eP/P*, where e is the nom- inal exchange rate (the foreign-currency price of domestic currency), and P and P* are the domestic- and foreign-currency prices of domestically and foreign- produced goods, respectively. Assume initially that both P and P* are fixed. There is perfect mobility of capital, so balance-of-payments equilibrium requires that i i*, where i and it are the domestic and foreign interest rates. Assume the economy adopts a flexible exchange rate regime. = (a) Using the IS-LM-BP model, carefully explain whether monetary policy and/or fiscal policy can succeed in raising the economy's GDP. Now assume instead that the economy adopts a fixed exchange rate regime. (b) For each of the policies below, explain what foreign-exchange market intervention is required to support the fixed exchange rate, and whether the policy would succeed in raising…

14. Consider a country in the two-period analysis of trade imbalances experiencing a trade deficit in period I and no GNP growth between the two periods. Assuming that the country finances its trade deficits through borrowing in period I and repaying the entire loan in period 2 and the extra funds in period I are not directed into domestic investment, which of the following will be observed? a. The average standard of living in the country in period 2 will decline. b. The average standard of living in the country in period I will decline. c. The average standard of living in the country in period 2 will improve. d. The average standard of living in the country in period I will remain unaffected. e. The average standard of living in the country will remain stable over the two periods.
6. Assume the U.S. is a SMALL open economy and has balanced trade. Suppose Congress is worried about the U.S. economy entering a recession following the outbreak of COVID-19, and as a result decreases taxes for households. a. Using the LF model, illustrate and describe the effect of this policy on the U.S. trade balance. b. Using the net exports model, illustrate and describe the effect of this policy on the U.S. real exchange rate.
