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.
Question 8 The market for loanable funds in country 1 is described by the equations I = 18 - 6r and S = 8+4r; in country 2, it is I = 18 - 4r and S = 8 + 2r. a) Find the relationships between net capital outflow and the world interest rate (rw) in the two countries. b) What is the nature of these relationships? (Are they both positive, both negative, or one positive and the other negative?) c) Calculate the world equilibrium interest rate. d) How can you reconcile the result from part b with the one from part c?
Economics 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 60 30 -10 6 55 40 -5 5 50 50 0 4 45 60 5 3 40 70 10 2 35 80 15 Given the information in the preceding table, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the demand for loanable funds. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the supply of loanable funds. Finally, use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium in this market.

. The government has proposed Rs1,289 billion for the defence budget for the year 2020-21, 5.1% more compared to last year’s revised defence estimates of Rs1,227 billion for the year 2019-20. If Government cut defence Budget, what happens to saving, investment, the trade balance, the interest rate, inflation rate and the exchange rate? And similarly, Government decreases the interest rate due to COVID-19 so explain what impact on consumption, investment and interest rate. Justify the answer with your own word and examples.

Using examples and clearly labelled graphs where applicable answer the following question: Under what circumstances might an increase in worldwide interest rates r* be beneficial for a small open economy (SOE)? Explain
10.Suppose in a small open economy, real GDP is $500 billion, consumption is $300 billion, investment is $120 billion, government purchases equal $100 billion, exports are $80 billion, and imports are $100 billion. whether this small country’s interest rate, rE, is above, below, or equal to the world interest rate, rw? Is S>I or I>S, or S=I in this economy? Using the saving-investment diagram for a small open economy, show your answer on the graph. Clearly mark both rE and rw and trade deficit/surplus (or capital inflow/outflow).
