H10. Assume that initially, the risk premium, ρ = 0 and that the domestic and foreign interest rates are given by R = .06, R* = .05. Suppose that the risk premium depends linearly on the difference between domestic government debt, B, and domestic assets of the central bank, A, i.e., ρ = ρ (B-A) Find the new domestic interest rate if a sterilized purchase of foreign assets adjusts A s.t. (a) B - A = -.01/ ρ0 (b) B - A = .03/ ρ0
