You are the chief economic adviser in a small open economy with a floating exchange rate system. Your boss, the president of the country, wishes to increase the level of output in the short run in order to win reelection. Do you recommend using monetary or fiscal policy? Expansionary or contractionary? Use the Mundell-Fleming model to illustrate graphically your proposed policy. State in words what happens to real output, the nominal exchange rate, the level of consumption, the level of investment, and the net exports,

b) a) In a flexible exchange rate system, explain how the economy would react to a monetary contraction in the short run and long run. Demonstrate using a graph

If the government budget surplus falls to zero, how will this affect the current account balance?arrow_forwardIn a short-run model of a large open economy with a floating exchange rate, if business expectations become pessimistic, this leads to a fall in: A) the exchange rate and a fall in net exports but has no effect of income B) the money supply and an increase in income but has no effect on the exchange rate C) income, the interest rate, and net exports but a decrease in investment and in the exchange rate D) income, the interest rate, and the exchange rate but an increase in net exportsarrow_forwardHi can you please help with calculations/explanations of the below :) 1. During the Great Depression, countries which had a policy of competitive devaluation (or ‘beggar thy neighbour’) increased net exports by lowering the value of their currency. Using a Mundell-Fleming model with a fixed rate, show the impact of a competitive devaluation without taking account of the output gap. (hint, the exchange rate is ‘fixed’ but only after an initial lowering of its value, which causes a positive NX shock) 2. What is the long run impact of the policy in (1) after taking account of the output gap. Prove that in the long run a competitive devaluation with a fixed rate gives the same long run result as a monetary expansion with a floating rate. What is this result called? 3.

- 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.arrow_forwardSuppose more companies begin to “nudge” their employees into saving for retirement throughthe use of automatic enrollment plans.
