In which country were goods more expensive last year?
Suppose that the government of China is currently fixing the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan at a rate of $1 = 6 yuan. Also suppose that at this exchange rate, the people who want to convert dollars to yuan are asking to convert $10 billion per day of dollars into yuan, while the people who are wanting to convert yuan into dollars are asking to convert 36 billion yuan into dollars. What will happen to the size of China’s official reserves of dollars? a. Increase. b. Decrease. c. Stay the same.
1) Assume Turkish lira (TL) is expected to depreciate by 10% over the next year against US dollar. If the Turkish interest rate is15%, what would be the US interest rate that can make a Turkish investor to be willing to buy US securities today? Assume capital is perfectly mobile between Turkey and US.
2-) If the price level of Turkish goods is 200, the price level of foreign goods is 125, and the lira price of foreign currency is 1.20, what is the real exchange rate? What is the meaning of this rate for the competitiveness of Turkish goods?
3-)With the help of an IS-LM diagram show and explain the effect of restrictive monetary policy on output under flexible exchange rates and perfect capital mobility
