Q3. You are given the following information about an economy: Gross private domestic investment = 40 Government purchases of goods and services = 30 Gross national product (GNP) = 200 Current account balance = -20 Taxes = 60 Government transfer payments to the domestic private sector = 25 Interest payments from the government to the domestic private sector = 15 (Assume all interest payments by the government go to domestic households.) Factor income received from rest of world = 7 Factor payments made to rest of world = 9 Find the following, assuming that government investment is zero: (a.) Consumption (b.) Net exports (c.) GDP (d.) Net factor payments from abroad (e.) Private saving (f.) Government saving (g.) National saving
In what way does comparing a countrys exports to GDP reflect its degree of globalization?
Explain briefly whether each of the following would be more likely to lead to a higher level of trade for an economy, or a greater imbalance of trade for an economy. Living In an especially large country Having a domestic investment rate much higher than the domestic savings rate Having many other large economies geographically nearby Having an especially large budget deficit Having countries with a tradition of strong protectionist legislation shutting out imports
If imports exceed exports, is it a trade deficit or a trade surplus? What about if exports exceed imports?
In 1980, Denmark had a GDP of 70 billion (measured in U.S. dollars} and a population of 5.1 million. In 2000, Denmark had 3 GDP of 160 billion (measured in U.S. dollars} and a population of 5.3 million. By what percentage did Denmarks GDP per capita rise between 1980 and 2000?
ASAP PLEASE I WILL GIVE THUMBS UP! 1-When a country's income level rises, so do its imports. Select one: True False 2-As disposable income increases, consumption tends to rise. Select one: True False 3-Labor productivity increases if the amount of capital per employee falls. Select one: True False

A4 In the Ricardian model, the opening of trade raises the real wage in terms of the imported good without reducing it in terms of the exported good, so workers should favor trade. But workers facing import competition usually oppose trade, so there is something wrong with the model
Intuitively explain how migration of capital (FDI) can lead to economy-wide gains for both Home and Foreign. You may want to use a graph of a capital market, with rental rate curves (=marginal product of capital) for both Home and Foreign, and comparing a pre-FDI situation and a free-FDI equilibrium.
An open economy is described by the following system of macroeconomic equations, in which all macroeconomic aggregate are measured in billions of Namibian dollars, N$:Y = C + I + G + X –MC = 160 + 0.6 YdT = 100 + 0.25YX = 80I = 150G = 150M = 22 + 0.25YWhere: Yis domestic incomeYdis private disposable income C is aggregate consumption spending T is government tax revenue I is investment spending X represents exports M represents imports of goods and services. (a) Determine trade balance at equilibrium. (b) Find the multiplier applicable to autonomous tax and interpret it. (c)Use the multiplier applicable to exports, to explain how a 100 billion decline in demand for exports could have affected the economy’s: (i)GDP/ output (ii)Balance of trade (iii)Government budget
What may happen to ASEAN’s economy if growth in China continues or contracts?
provides some hypothetical data on macroeconomicaccountsforthreecountriesrepresented by A, B, and C and measured in billions of currency units. In Table, private household saving is SH, tax revenue is T, government spending is G, and investment spending is I. a. Calculate the trade balance and the net inflow of foreign saving for each country. b. State whether each one has a trade surplus or deficit (or balanced trade). c. State whether each is a net lender or borrower internationally and explain.
