Assume that U.S. products did decline in relative quality during the 1980s. a. Please indicate the effect of this shift in net exports on the U.S. market for foreign exchange. (use the image attached) b. According to this model, which of the following statements are true as a result of the quality change? Check all that apply. - There is no change in the real interest rate. - The trade balance decreases - Net capital outflow decreases. -The real exchange rate declines. c. The claim that some people made in the popular press is? isn't? consistent with the model in this chapter.
An analyst estimates the following exchange rate model for the yen currency against the dollar: Expected rate of appreciation of yen against the dollart(%)= =0.1[idollart-2(%) – iyent-2(%)]+0.5[idollart-1(%) – iyent-1(%)]+1.0[idollar(%)t – iyen(%)t]2+ +0.1[GDPJAPt(%) – GDPUSt(%)]. In this model, idollart(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US in period t, iyent(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan in period t, idollart-1(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US in period t-1, iyent-1(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan in period t-1, idollart-2(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US in period t-2, iyent-2(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan in period t-2,GDPUSt(%) refers to annual GDP growth in the US in period t and GDPJAP(%) refers to annual GDP growth in Japan in period t. Assume idollart-2=4%, iyent-2=2%,idollart-1=5%, iyent-1=3%, GDPUSt=3% and GDPJAPt=1%. Calculate the one-year interest rate differential idollar(%)t – iyen(%)t that delivers an…
You have the following annual data for the New Zealand economy ($bn): GDP (Y) = 184 Gross National Disposable Income (Yd) = 171 Net exports of goods and services (NX) = 0 Private Consumption (C) = 106 Government consumption (G) = 34 Based on this data, complete the following paragraph (enter numbers only). Investment (I) is equal to $____bn. The current account SELECT (surplus or deficit) is equal to $_____bn. The capital account part of the balance of payments (which for the purposes of this question includes both capital and financial accounts) therefore shows a SELECT (surplus or deficit) of $_____bn. National savings is equal to $_____bn.
The Big Mac index was introduced by The Economist magazine in 1986, as a playful example to introduce the concept of purchase power parity (PPP) and under/overvaluation of currencies. The PPP rates are usually compiled based on consumer baskets of comparable quality. The problem is that goods in different economies are hardly comparable. The customer basket contains only one good which is made everywhere in exactly the same way – McDonald’s Big Mac. You might think that is an oversimplification, but in fact the Big Mac Index has been widely used for comparing currencies ever since it was first published. Explore the concept behind the Big Mac index and critically assess the importance of comparability of goods in various economies.
Suppose that a new trade agreement between Australia and New Zealand causes the exchange rate to change from NZD1.10/AUD to NZD1.20/AUD. Which currency has appreciated as a result of this trade agreement and by what percent? NZD by 8.3% NZD by 9.1% Neither currency has appreciated AUD by 8.3% AUD by 9.1%
Consider Alpha, a country that is open to trade in goods and services with the rest of the world, where prices are fixed and in which only the goods market exists. In Alpha, the Marshall-Lerner condition doesn't hold — more precisely, net exports depend positively on the realexchange rate. Initially, the country is in goods market equilibrium, and trade is balanced. Having discussed which of the following three Figures provides a correct representation of the initial equilibrium in Alpha, describe the effects of a real appreciation. In particular, discuss if and how the various curves represented in the graph you have chosen will be affected, and explain the effects of the appreciation of the exchange rate on the equilibrium values of income, consumption, investment and net exports.
Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Japan and the United States are major trading partners and the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the United States dollar is determined in a flexible foreign exchange market. (a) Assume real income increased in the United States. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the foreign exchange market for the yen, and show the effect of the increased real income in the United States on the equilibrium exchange rate for the yen. (b) Will each of the following increase, decrease, or stay the same as a result of the increase in the United States real income? (i) Japan’s net exports. Explain. (ii) Unemployment in Japan. Explain. (iii) Japan’s long-run aggregate supply (c) Assume instead…

You have the following annual data for the New Zealand economy ($bn): GDP (Y) = 190 Gross National Disposable Income (Yd) = 183 Net exports of goods and services (NX) = 5 Private Consumption (C) = 112 Government consumption (G) = 38 Based on this data, complete the following paragraph (enter numbers only). Investment (I) is equal to $____bn. The current account (surplus or deficit?) is equal to $_____bn. The capital account part of the balance of payments (which for the purposes of this question includes both capital and financial accounts) therefore shows a ____ of $_____bn. National savings is equal to $______bn.
This is not a writing assignment, this is a multiple-choice question Which of the below statements does NOT include nternational exchange rates, how these are determined, and how exchange rates impact the economy? Group of answer choices The international exchange rate for the British pound (or any other currency) in the international exchange rates market is determined by demand for that currency relative to its supply. By increasing real interest rates to prop up the British pounds the British government would also be boosting the British economy which was in a state of economic recession at that time. To prop up (increase) the exchange rate for the British pound the British government could use monetary policy and increase real inerest rates. The higher interest rates on British bonds would make them more interesting to foreign investors who would need to get more British pounds to purchase British bonds - thus increasing the demand for the British pound. To prop up…
