Draw a diagram for Saving and Investment in a small open economy.Assume the world real interest rate is above the closed equilibrium interestrate for the country you drew. Is this country a foreign lender or foreignborrower? Explain with the intuition of the saving and investment functions
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 dollar. Assume that the economy is currently experiencing a balanced government budget. NOTE: follow RED ARROWS for the order of the questions (IT IS PART OF THE SAME QUESTION!!!!!) NOTE: HERE ARE THE OPTIONS FOR THE BLANKS: Because of the relationship between net capital outflow and net exports, the level of net capital outflow at the equilibrium real interest rate implies that the economy is experiencing _____ (a trade deficit OR balanced trade OR a trade surplus) Now, suppose the government is experiencing a budget deficit. This means that ______ (national saving will increase OR national saving will decrease OR domestic investment will increase OR domestic investment will decrease), which leads to ______ (an increase in the supply of OR…
Give a detailed answer to the theoretical question: Display graphically changes in the equilibrium interest rate if the economy is experiencing a comparative slowdown in GDP growth relative to trading partner countries
There are two countries in the world, Australia and Japan. Suppose that the central bank of Australia and the central bank of Japan raise the real interest rate by 1 percent. In this case, the nominal exchange rate (Yen/Dollar) increases. .True/False. Remember to include your explanation.
Because of the relationship between net capital outflow and net exports, the level of net capital outflow at the equilibrium real interest rate implies that the economy is experiencing (Balanced trade/ a trade deficit/ a trade surplus) Now, suppose the government is experiencing a budget deficit. This means that ( National saving will increase/ national saving will decrease/ Domestic investment will increase / domestic investment will decrease) which leads to ( an increase in the supply of / a decrease in the supply of / an increase in the demand for/ a decrease in the demand for) loanable funds. After the budget deficit occurs, suppose the new equilibrium real interest rate is 6%. The following graph shows the demand curve in the foreign-currency exchange market. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to show the supply curve in this market before the budget deficit. Then use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the supply curve after the budget deficit. Summarize the…

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.
Low interest rates means low inflation which means depreciated currency. This stimulates businessmen to invest abroad as interest rates are low. How can they invest abroad if the currency is depreciated? Wouldn't that be illogical and unfeasible? (According to Mankiw's textbook)Lower Interest rates encourage additional investment spending, which gives the economy a boost in times of slow economic growth. (Investopedia) Is this talking about investment spending abroad or investment spending in general? If Investment abroad increases how can that boost the economy? Aren't those statements contradictory?Recently, Turkey has experienced high inflation and high interest rates. IN spite of that its currency depreciated at historical levels. Is this because of other reasons than high inflation and high interest rates? Do we normally assume "ceteris paribus" when talking about this correlation? Even though its currency depreciated, there were investments made in Turkey. Why?
A country recently had $800 billion worth of domestic investment and its residents purchased $400 billion worth of foreign assets. If foreigners purchased $100 billion of this country’s assets, what was this country’s saving? Explain how you found your answer.
Explain why you agree or disagree with the following statements: A nation whose interest rate is rising more rapidly than interest rates in other nations can expect the international value of its currency to appreciate.
