Suppose that Malaysians decide to increase their saving. a) If the elasticity of Malaysian net capital outflow with respect to the real interest rate is very high, will this increase in private saving have a large or small effect on Malaysian domestic investment? b) If the elasticity of Malaysian exports with respect the real exchange rate is very low, will this increase in private saving have a large or small effect on the Malaysian real exchange rate?

According to the national saving and Investment Identity, what will be the current account balance? What will be the current account balance if Investment rises by 50 billion, while the budget deficit and national savings remain the same?

Suppose you are a British venture capitalist holding a major stake in an e-commerce start-up in Silicon Valley. As a British resident, you are concerned with the pound value of your U.S. equity position. Assume that if the American economy booms in the future, your equity stake will be worth $901, and the exchange rate will be $1.28/£. If the American economy experiences a recession, on the other hand, your American equity stake will be worth $817, and the exchange rate will be $1.43/£. You assess that the American economy will experience a boom with a 50 percent probability and a recession with the remaining probability.Estimate the expected value of the property in GBP (as XXX.XXX)

Suppose that the spot exchange rate is 1.6 euros per dollar, and that the annual interest rates for 180-day deposits are 4 percent in the United States and 10 percent in Germany. Explain how a U.S. investor would use covered interest arbitrage to hedge against the risk of purchasing a 180-day bill in Germany. Assuming high capital mobility between the United States and Germany, calculate the 180-day forward exchange rate that would be required to eliminate an opportunity for risk-free profits by shifting funds from the United States to Germany.
Economic logic may tell us that a country with a higher interest rate, thus a higher rate of return, should be able to attract foreign capital and that a country with a lower interest rate, thus a lower rate of return, should experience an outflow of capital. If a country is experiencing a large net capital inflow its currency is likely to appreciate, while a country experiencing a large net capital outflow would likely see its currency depreciate (assuming a floating exchange rate). However, according to interest rate parity conditions a country with a higher interest rate would see its currency depreciate, while the currency of the lower interest rate country would appreciate. What is the main reason the outcome under interest rate parity conditions?
