The dollar appreciated by 25% and now buys 100 yenThat would give you the old buying power at 80 yen.And that would mean that the yen depreciated by 20%.And the rate of change of the exchange rate is also -20%. Find the rate of change of the direct exchange rate of the yen in the US.
True/False and Explain An increase in savings implies a decrease in consumption and therefore a decrease in GDP. The exchange rate between two countries can be thought of as unrelated to any economic variables. If the real rate of return on investment is higher in the US than in Canada, capital will tend to flow out of the US and into Canada. When nominal interest rates are zero, the central bank can still lower them by printing money and purchasing bonds from banks. This increases the supply of loanable funds and stimulates lending. A pro-savings policy by the US would likely reduce the US trade deficit. When savings equals investment, reducing savings and increasing consumption is especially effective in stimulating output. In the dynamic AS-AD model, a perfectly inelastic aggregate supply curve means the central bank cannot control the rate of output growth or the inflation rate. 8. There are an infinite number of combinations of real interest rates and inflation rates…
