The tenure of the previous government, from 2013 to 2018, witnessed a skyrocketing current account deficit as it increased from $2.5 billion in FY13 to $18.9 billion in FY18. The major driver was the trade deficit, which widened from $19.2 billion in 2012 to $35.6 billion in 2017, according to data extracted from the ITC’s Trademap.org. Imports increased from $43.8 billion in 2012 to $57.4 billion in 2017 and exports decreased from $24.6 billion in 2012 to $21.9 billion in 2017. Between July 2014 and June 2015, REER had increased by 8.83%. It increased by 5.54% in the prior fiscal year, FY14. In simpler terms, the rupee was kept above its equilibrium value between June 2013 and June 2018, making it cheaper to purchase goods from other countries. Furthermore, exporters lost their competitiveness against foreign competitors in the global market. Today, with the rupee closer to its equilibrium value, exports have increased. This has positively impacted the trade balance, alleviating…

The US economy has grown at faster rates than Japan’sover the past 10 years. b.

Suppose Country A is a small open economy with a trade deficit. With a risingconcern of plausible supply chain issues, business firms in Country A tend toincrease their level of inventory.

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.
what are two reasons Why is the statstic for fiscal deficits are so closely monitired in small fixed exchange rate economies?

QUESTION 10Suppose there are two countries that are identical in every way with the following exception. Country A is pursuing a fixed exchange rate regime and country B is pursuing a flexible exchange rate regime. Suppose government spending in both countries rises by the same amount. Given this information, we know that: the change in output in A will be greater than in B. the change in output in B will be greater than in A. the change in output will be the same in both countries. the relative output effects are ambiguous.
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.
