Question 2 Flexible exchange rates and the responses to changes in foreign macroeconomic policy. Suppose the domestic economy is a small open economy and the foreign economy is an important trade partner. The foreign country follows a contractionary monetary policy and increases the foreign interest rate. Use the open economy IS-LM-UIP model to show the effect of the increase in the foreign interest rate, i*, on domestic output (Y) and the exchange rate (E), when the domestic central bank leaves the domestic policy interest rate unchanged. Analytically explain and graphically illustrate the impact of the foreign policy on domestic output, trade balance and exchange rate.

Course: Macroeconomics Subject: Mundell-Fleming Model EXPLAIN IN DETAIL and GRAPHIC with the Mundell-Fleming model under flexible exchange rate and perfect capital mobility the different chain effects (i.e. changes in macroeconomic variables as PIB, interest rate, exchange rate, Investment, Consumption, currency movement, etc.) that would be generated if the Business Confidence Index falls permanently in a given country. How would the results obtained change if long periods of time (permanent changes) are analyzed through the Aggregate Supply (AS) and Aggregate Demand (AD) Model?
Topic of Exchange Rates and Monetary Policy: Assume that domestic investment increases for any given interest rate in Turkey due to higher confidence in economy. In addition, suppose net capital outflows stays constant. Using AE/PE model and the currency market with the aid of diagrams, what are the changes in output and the real exchange when the Turkish Central Bank implement the following policies: a) The real interest rate is kept constant. b) The real interest rate is adjusted to keep the output constant. c) The real interest rate is adjusted to keep the real exchange rate constant.
Japanese monetary policy has been at the zero lower bound for more than a decade. The Bank of Japan recently announced an increase in its target rate of inflation from 1 percent to 2 percent. The evidence available so far suggests that this announcement has increased expected inflation. a. Show the effects of this development in an IS-MP diagram accounting for the zero lower bound. What are the effects on the real interest rate (r) and output (Y)? b. How would this development affect the real exchange rate and the net exports (NX)? c. The Bank of Japan also announced a program of quantitative easing where it will buy a large amount of long-term public and private debt. What is this program likely to do to long-term nominal interest rates? If investment depends on long term rates, how would you expect this part of the program to show up in the IS-MP diagram? What will it do to output?
Consider Canada as a small open economy in the LR model and that Canada is a major exporter of primary products. a. Define terms of trade and explain how the terms of trade is to be distinguished from the real exchange rate. Use the Canadian context to illustrate your answers. b. During the period from 1970s to late 1990s, world real commodity prices were reducing. Explain why, as a result, Canada's terms of trade was negatively affected. Also, explain why such worsening of terms of trade implies that autonomous net exports for Canada reduces (<0). Illustrate graphically using the "foreign exchange" market and explain how such a reduction in autonomous net exports will affect equilibrium net exports and the Canadian dollar value. How will Canada's exports of primary products be affected in equilibrium? How will Canada's exports of manufacturing products be affected in equilibrium? Explain.
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.
Graphically illustrate the traditional view of the short-run impacts of a debt-financed taxcut on:a. interest rates and output in a closed economy in the short run, using the IS–LM model.b. exchange rates and output in a small open economy with a flexible exchange rate inshort run, using the Mundell–Fleming model.
Use the DD-AA model to analyze the impact of a transitory decrease in the Foreign interest rate R* on the domestic economy. (Use the “standard” DD/AA model where changes in the interest rate have no effect on the DD curve.). Note: You can use one (large!) diagram to answer questions (a) and (b). (a) If the country operates with a flexible exchange rate regime what impact will this have on the country’s exchange rate E, level of domestic output Y, and the level of the country’s Current Account (CA) balance? Briefly explain.(b) If the country operates with a fixed exchange rate regime what impact will this have on the country’s money supply M, level of domestic output Y, and the level of the country’s Current Account (CA) balance? Briefly explain.
1)The overshooting model attempts to explain; Select one: a.why purchasing power parity plays no role in determining the value of a currency b.the long-run value of the nominal exchange rate c.the transition of the nominal exchange rate between the short- and long-run d.why the foreign exchange market is never in equilibrium 2)In the closed economy IS-LM model, an increase in money supply will result in... Select one: a.... an appreciation of the nominal exchange rate and an increase in output b.... a reduction in the price level and an increase in output c.... a decrease in the interest rate and an increase in output d.... an increase in the interest rate and an increase in output 3) Which of the following statements is most accurate? Select one: a.Absolute PPP does not imply relative PPP b.Absolute PPP implies relative PPP c.Relative PPP implies absolute PPP d.None of the above
Question 1It is often said by economists that fixed exchange rates make monetary policy totally ineffective as a stabilization tool. Explain why you agree or disagree with this statement. Assume an open economy. Keynes favoured fiscal policy over monetary policy to stabilize the economy and fixed exchange rates over flexible exchange rates. Is it consistent or inconsistent to pair fiscal policy with fixed exchange rates and monetary policy with flexible exchange rates? Explain why.
The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced a rate hike of half a percentage point after its two-day meeting on May 4, 2022, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 0.75-1.0%. Using the IS-LM-IP model, graphically illustrate and explain what HKMA must do to maintain the pegged exchange rate. Also discuss what effect this will have on domestic output and net exports. In your graphs, clearly label all curves and equilibria.
QUESTION 4: PLACE TRUE OR FALSE OR UNCERTAIN (T/F/U) According to the classical macroeconomic model, expansionary fiscal policy has an inflationary effect. Assuming that you have free capital mobility and fixed exchange rate policy, then fiscal policy has a positive effect on output Expansionary fiscal policy always has a depreciating effect on the domestic exchange rate. According to the relative income hypothesis, the savings rate is a non-linear function of the ratio of current to previous peak income. In the IS-LM-BOP model, macroeconomic adjustments occur through changes in money supply if the country adopts a fixed exchange rate regime. According to the impossible trinity, a country that has a liberalized capital account and independent monetary policy will also achieve a stable exchange rate.
For each of the following situations, use the IS-LM-FX model to illustrate the effects of the shock and the policy response. Note: Assume the government responds by using monetary policy to stabilize output and assume the exchange rate is floating. For each case, state the effect of the shock on the following variables (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous): Y, i, E, C, I, and TB. a. Foreign output decreases. b. Investors expect a depreciation of the home currency. c. The money supply increases. d. Government spending increases. Please illustruate the IS-LM model and explain in detail.
