QUESTION 4 Using information from problem 3, suppose that the financial crisis worsens and now the supply curve for USD is 91+e bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 155 - e bln dollars per week. The central bank still commits to its pledge to support the exchange rate if Peso depreciates by over 20% from the original level (more specifically, in this case the fixed exchange rate will be 20% higher than the original level). To maintain the fixed exchange rate, the central bank will have to spend billion dollars of foreign exchange reserves per week. Note: Type in your answer rounded to two decimal places, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard may automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it. In case of percentages, do not type in the percentage symbol "%". If your answer is a negative number, type a dash in front of your answer, i.e, "-999.99".

Kindly assist in question 2 1)Suppose the ECB keeps the euro rate at 2% forever .The Fed now temporary raises its interest rate this year from 2% to 7% .After this event ,what is the expected rate of dollar depreciation if UIP holds over the coming year ?(Hint :use the approximate UIP formula.) 2) In the last question (1), suppose the policies are temporary, and everyone believes the exchange rate will revert to its expected long run PPP value of $1.26 per euro one year from now .What will be the spot exchange rate ($/€) today?.( hint: use the approximate UIP formula)
European Central Bank will keep its aggressive monetary stimulus that is, expansionary monetary policy in place, where as US will not continue to do so. "With the help of an equation", explain the effect of this on the long run depreciation of the US dollar
Japan and the United States are major trading partners and the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the United States dollar is determined in a flexible foreign exchange market.

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.
1 Suppose that due to a fall in the world interest rate, the equilibrium consumption of trad- ables, CT (r∗, QT1 , QT2 ), increases by 10 percent. Assume that prior to the fall in the world interest rate the economy was operating at full employment. Show that the equilibrium real wage also increases by 10 percent. Show that this result is independent of the exchange rate arrangement. To answer this question, you can use a graphical or a mathematical approach.
Business executives and policymakers are often concerned about the competitiveness of Pakistani industry (the ability of industries to sell their goods profitably in world markets). i. How would an increase in the nominal exchange rate ($/Rs) affect competitiveness in the short run? Explain. ii. Suppose you wanted to make domestic industries more competitive but did not want to alter aggregate income. According to the Mundell–Fleming model, what combination of monetary and fiscal policies should you pursue? Graphically explain.
Question 1 Suppose there is a permanent increase in aggregate real money demand, for any given level of the nominal interest rate and output level. Trace the short-run and long-run effects of the exchange rate, interest rate and price level. Does the nominal exchange rate overshoot or undershoot in the short run? What is the mechanism behind the latter effect? How does your answer about the short-run behaviour of the exchange rate modify if, in addition to the permanent increase in real money demand, output falls in the short-run? Supplement your answer with a carefully explained diagrammatic analysis.
Consider the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing financial developments for building your arguments for the following question. a. Explain the short-run and long-run effects of the adjustment of the dollar/euro exchange rate following a permanent increase in the U.S. money supply and show those effects on the related diagrams. Suppose the economy starts with all variables at their long-run levels and that output remains constant as the economy adjusts to the money supply change. b.Explain the exchange rate overshooting with the help of the diagrams that you drew for part a. Why is the exchange rate overshooting an important phenomenon? What does it help to explain?
D4) FinanceImagine that the economy is at a point that is below both AA and DD, where both the output and asset markets are out of equilibrium. Which first action is TRUE? The exchange rate will first increase to a point on the AA schedule. The exchange rate will first move to a point on the DD schedule. The output will directly decrease. The output will directly increase. The economy will stay at this level in the short run.
Diagram a market in which the equilibrium dollar price of 1 unit of fictitious currency zee (Z) is $5 (the exchange rate is $5 = Z1). Then show on your diagram a decline in the demand for zee. a. Referring to your diagram, discuss the adjustment options the United States would have in maintaining the exchange rate at $5 = Z1 under a fixed-exchange-rate system. b. Suppose that the Fed’s FX reserves increase by 40 million zees as a result of the decline in demand. How many millions of dollars worth of bonds will the Fed have to sell in order to sterilize the accompanying increase in the domestic money supply?
Economics n the exchange rate model with short-run price stickiness, the nominal interest rate decreases immediately if there is a permanent increase in money supply. However, the model of monetary approach to the exchange rate suggests that the interest rate rises when there is a permanent increase in the growth rate of money supply. Explain how the different assumptions in these two models lead to contrasting predictions about the response of interest rates to the money supply. Show the relevant long-run time paths of the interest rate, price level and nominal exchange rate in
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?
