1. If everyone in the economy decides to close their bank accounts and hold all their money on hand, this will cause overall M1 to rise / fall / remain unchanged / change ambiguously and overall M2 to rise / fall / remain unchanged / change ambiguously.
2. To compensate for trade imbalances, a rising trade surplus will cause capital inflows to rise / fall / remain unchanged / change ambiguously; and the domestic real interest rate to rise / fall / remain unchanged / change ambiguously.
3. When the domestic real interest rate rises, capital inflows will rise / fall / remain unchanged / change ambiguously and investment will rise / fall / remain unchanged / change ambiguously.
7.Consider two countries, Japan and Korea. In 1996, Japan experienced relatively slow output growth (1%), whereas Korea had relatively robust output growth (6%). Suppose the Bank of Japan allowed the money supply to grow by 2% each year, whereas the Bank of Korea chose to maintain relatively high money growth of 12% per year.
b.What is the expected rate of depreciation in the Korean won relative to the Japanese yen (¥)?
c.Suppose the Bank of Korea increases the money growth rate from 12% to 15%. If nothing in Japan changes, what is the new inflation rate in Korea?
d.Using time series diagrams, illustrate how this increase in the money growth rate affects the money supply MK, Korea’s interest rate, prices PK, real money supply, and Ewon/¥ over time. (Plot each variable on the vertical axis and time on the hor-

1. In a monetarist model of the balance of payments, assuming a fixed exchange rate and starting from equilibrium in all markets, how would Country A’s balance of payments react to each of the following events: (a) The central bank of Country A increases its domestic assets sufficiently to increase the stock of base money in the banking system by 10 percent. (b) Central banks in the rest of the world increase their domestic assets sufficiently to increase the stock of base money in the banking system of the rest of the world by 10 percent. (c) Because of a drought, GNP in the rest of the world declines by 10 percent. 2. Why is sterilization more difficult for a central bank when its country has a payments surplus than when it has a deficit?

- Which type of money is most likely to see its value fluctuate in the foreign exchange market? O a. fiat money O b. commodity money O c. price-indexed money O d. pegged-exchange ratearrow_forwardAs you know, when Greece joined the euro area in 2001, its long-term interest rates converged with Germany's (core country of the euro area). This long-rate convergence had also occurred within the set of original euro area members, around the time of the advent of the euro (1998). During the global financial crisis, some of those spreads have reemerged, and recently, Greek 10-year rates were about 1,000 basis points higher than Germany's. Given your reading of the case, and in light of the theory covered in our lectures answer the following questions: Q1) Do you think the level of German long-term rates will increase or decrease over the next year?

- 8. Suppose that last year, the nominal exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the British pound was ¥150.0 per £1.0, one unit of Japanese output cost ¥1300, and one unit of British output cost £8.0.a. What was the real exchange rate between the U.K. and Japan last year, expressed as the cost of British output (i.e. – the quantity of Japanese output that exchanges for 1 unit of British output)? In which country were goods more expensive last year?arrow_forward1. In a simple monetary model of the exchange rate, liquidity preference is a constant, L=5 for both the US and Australia. In the US, the price level is 4. In Australia, the nominal supply of money is 150. For the Americans, the exchange rate is 0.8. Find the real output/transactions in Australia. 2. Now the US price level changes to 6. And in Australia, the nominal money demand is 30 and the nominal money supply is 240. Find the new exchange rate and use it to find the rate of AUD appreciation from the 0.8 in the previous question.arrow_forwardSuppose the 12-month forward price of the yen in terms of dollars is .02 dollars per yen. Suppose the spot price of of the yen in terms of dollars is .019. Next, suppose that currently the annual interest rate on dollar deposits is 2%, while the interest rate on a comparable yen deposit is 1%. There are no transactions costs. Is there an arbitrage opportunity here? If so, explain exactly how you would take advantage of this situation to make riskless profits.arrow_forward
- 1. Suppose in the New Keynesian open-economy model that there is a negative output gap andthe central bank decreases the current money supply.(a) Assuming that the exchange rate is flexible. Draw diagrams for the labour, goods andmoney markets, and the production function. Determine the equilibrium effects of thisdecrease in the money supply on employment, output, consumption, investment, money,real wages, the real interest rate, the price level and the exchange rate.

In your answer, show the profits or losses in both dollars and yen in the following four cases [(i) to (iv)] making it clear in each case what the profit or loss is in both yen and dollars.
