Question 5: [15 marks A. In an open economy that is on a fixed exchange rate, show the short run effects on output and interest rate of a decrease in consumer confidence. To answer this question, draw the following four diagrams: 3 1. The goods market, 2. The money market, 3. The IS-LM curves, and 4. The interest parity condition. Clearly label the initial and new equilibrium points in each diagram. Provide brief explanations for the changes.
35. Which of the following will most likely cause a decrease in short-run aggregate supply (leftward shift) in the goods and services market? a. An increase in the productivity of labor b. A reduction in the price of crude oil, a major imported commodity c. An increase in resource prices d. Favorable weather conditions in agricultural areas. 36. The vertical long-run aggregate supply curve reflects the fact that in the long run, an increase in the price level. a. Will not alter the economy's maximum...
Question 2 - Short Run LOE and SOE - Protectionist Policy (30 points) Suppose that the US decides to impose a new round of protectionist policies (tariffs or quotas) on imported goods coming from China. Part I (15 points) - Use the Large Open Economy Model to explain what the short run effects would be on: (a) The U.S. IS and LM curves - draw the graphs (4 points) (b) The US net foreign investment, exchange rate, and net exports...
Using the aggregate demand (AD), the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), and the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curves, briefly explain how an open market purchase will affect the equilibrium price level (P) and real output (Y) in the short run. Assume the economy is initially in a recession?
Question 3 (10 Marks): Assume that Canada is a small open economy which uses a system of fixed exchange rates. The economy is in equilibrium when there is a sudden decrease in real money demand. Explain what will happen to the exchange rate, output, and the real interest rate in the short-run and in the long-run. Question 4 (10 Marks): Assume that Canada is a small open economy which uses a system of flexible exchange rates. The economy is in...
PROBLEM NO 2. An Open Economy in the Short Run and The Medium Run (25 Points) a. Indonesia's equilibrium condition of goods and services market can be expressed by the following equation: Y = CAY - T) + (Y, r) +G-IMY, )) { + X(Y*, £) where: Y=domestic output; Y*= foreign output; C= consumption: T=tax; l=investment, r=real interest rate; G=government spending, € = Real Exchange Rate. If it is assumed that the Marshall-Lerner condition holds. Explain in words the effects...
As prices rise, a fixed money supply will be able to buy fewer goods and services. This real balance effect is due to a(n) reduction in the interest rate. Increase in aggregate demand Decline in the purchasing power of the fixed quantity of money. Increase in income. The international substitution effect exists because a Higher price level will reduce interest rates and stimulate foreign investment. Lower price level will make domestically produced goods less expensive relative to foreign goods. Higher...
Using the IS-LM and Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand (AS-AD) models of Chapter 12 with a flat short-run AS curve (that is, completely sticky prices), suppose the economy is at the natural rate of unemployment and so, at long-run equilibrium. Suddenly, taxes are reduced with no change in government spending. Tell me (or show on a graph) what happens to the IS and/or LM curves. Show on a different graph what happens on the AS-AD diagram in the short-run (drawing in the...
