Consider and economy described by the following equations: Y = C+I+G+ NX Y = 10000 G= 2000 T= 1500 C= 300 + .7 (Y-T) I= 500 – 25r NX = 1000 - 1000€ 1=r* = 6 a) In this economy, solve for national savings, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange rate. b) Suppose now that G falls to 1,500. Solve for national savings, investment, the trade balance, and the equilibrium exchange rate. c) Now suppose the world interest rate falls from 6 percent to 5 percent. G is again 2000.

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 $_____bn.
Define nominal exchange rate and real exchange rate. What are the two main types of exchange-rate systems? What explains the behavior of net exports represented by the J curve? How does real exchange rate affect net exports? Explain and give one example.
You have the following annual data for the New Zealand economy ($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.
Suppose an economy’s national accounts are GNP = 100, C = 70, I = 40, G = 20 and EX = 20 where GNP is gross national product, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, and EX is exports. Using the national income identity, find the value of imports (IM). What is the current account balance? What is the national savings rate (note: saving rate = S/Y)? What would the government, private, and total savings rate be if the government reduced taxes T = 10 while the other variables remain unchanged?
1. Consider an economy described by the following equations;Y = C + I + G +NXY = 5,000G = 1,000T = 1,000C = 250 + 0.75(Y–T)I = 1,000 – 50rNX = 500 – 500εr = r*=5%a) In this economy, solve for national saving, investment, trade balance and the equilibriumexchange rate.b) Suppose now that G rises to 1,200. Solve for national saving, investment, trade balance andthe equilibrium exchange rate and trade balance.
Assume a two-period small open economy model, where the national product is 50 in the current period, and 88 in the future period. The world real interest rate is 10% per period. The representative consumer has the following utility function: U(c,G,c’,G’) = ln(c+G) + ln(c’+G’). a) What are the optimal consumption plus government spending in the current and in the future period? What is the current account surplus? Show this in a diagram. b) Now, suppose that governments in the rest of the world impose a tax on lending to foreigners of 5%. Determine how this affects consumption plus government spending in the present and the future, and the current account surplus. Explain your results. c) Suppose that governments in the rest of the world still impose a tax on lending to foreigners of 5%. However, the national country found a huge reserve of oil and the current period income increased to 100. The Determine how this affects consumption plus government spending in the present and the…
You have the following annual figures for the New Zealand economy. Investment expenditure $42.5 billion Government savings -$1.7 billion Many politicians and commentators would like to see continued increases in investment and current account surpluses rather than deficits. If these events are to occur, what else must be happening in the economy? 1. The Government must raise the retirement age. 2. Government spending must fall 3. National savings (private and government) must rise 4. New Zealand must restrict foreign ownership of land and other assets
Which of the following statements is true? A)The open-economy IS curve is derived in the same way that the closed-economy IS curve is derived. B)The closed-economy IS curve is downward sloping, but the open-economy IS curve is upward sloping. C)Some factors that shift the IS curve in the closed economy in one direction will shift the IS curve in the open economy in the opposite direction. D)Factors that raise a country's current net exports, given domestic output and the domestic real interest rate, shift the open-economy IS curve up.
urgent Consider an OPEN ECONOMY with a floating exchange rate regime. In the aftermath of recent elections won by the country’s socialist party, consumer confidence and consumption has increased dramatically. Within the IS-MP framework for an open economy, explain and illustrate graphically what the effect is of the increase in overall consumption on equilibrium output, the real interest rate, net cash outflow, the trade balance and the country’s real exchange rate.
Consider the specific Macroeconomic model involving: Private sector consumption: C = 2400+0.8(Y-T); Y = GDP, T = Taxes Tax function: T = 125+0.12Y Business sector investment: I =67+0.08r; r = Rate of interest Government spending: G = 788 Exports: X = 192 - 28x; x = Exchange rate Imports: M = 345+0.09Y+2x; Y = GDP, x = Exchange rate Solve this model for the value of the equilibrium GDP (Y*), given that the interest rate is 7%, and exchange rate is $1.18.

The equilibrium condition for GDP in an open economy is: Y = C + I + G + (X – M) GDP can be eitherspent, saved, or taxed away , so it is necessary that: Y = Substituting the second equation into the first equation and rearranging yields: X – M = The fundamental equation shows that an increase in the taxes will cause the budget deficit to , which should the trade deficit.
10 Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. A number of factors have contributed to the performance of the South African economy. Firstly, the sizeable monetary injection into the local economy as a stimulus due to COVID economic pressures has given a boost to household disposable incomes over the course of 2021. The depreciation of the exchange rate in 2021 year also provided a boost to the domestic economy. Based on the information in the paragraph above, where is the South African economy in the economic cycle as per the figure above? a. contraction b. trough c. expansion d. peak
