Explain the output and balance of payment effects of an import tariff under fixed exchange rates. What would happen if all countries in the world simultaneously tried to improve employment and balance of payments by imposing tariffs?
if the fixed exchange rate system is there and an import tariff is imposed then the import will go down causing the net export (export minus import) to go up and hence the total output (GDP wise) will increase. as GDP=consumption+investment+government spending+net export
as the import goes down, the trade balance will become more positive hence current account will become more positive(less negative).
but if all countries simultaneously do this then the import of all country has to go down this would be only possible when the export of all the countries has to go down. this will reduce the output of all countries and the world's output as a whole will go down.
Give a thumbs up to the answer.

Explain how balance of payment crises and currency crises might arise under fixed exchange rate regime. Explain how balance of payment crises and currency crises might arise under fixed exchange rate regime.
To answer these questions you must Watch Youtube video: Milton Friedman - Imports, Exports & Exchange Rates (14:01 mins long) and then answer the following questions. 1. What do you believe, based on what you have learned in this week's chapters, the video above, and perhaps other sources, are the reasons President Trump is willing to impose tariffs on certain products. Why not impose tariffs on all products? What economic arguments would you use to defend or criticize the use...
Suppose an economy under fixed (pegged) exchange rates is currently facing:(i) a balanced current account (NX = 0),(ii) a negative output gap (excess unemployment), and(iii) a balanced budget. (a) Using an NX/ (S-I) model depict the above situation in relation to the internal and external balance diagrammatically. (b) Now suppose as an advisor to the government your recommendation is to employ an expenditure-changing policy to attain the Internal Balance. Explain in details what this policy is made up and what the...
Use an open market IS-LM diagram to explain the result of fiscal expansion under fixed exchange rate system. What will happen to the IS and LM functions, equilibrium output, domestic interest rate, exchange rate level, capital flow, foreign exchange reserve and net exports? Explain your answer.
5. a. Economists sometimes refer to the attempt by countries to fix their exchange rates, control their money supplies, and operate with open capital accounts in their balance of payments (that is, to have no restrictions on capital movements) as the "impossible trinity" of international macroeconomics. Based on what you have learned so far, would you agree that this combination of policies is impossible to achieve? Explain. b. Use three of the models you have studied (the fixed exchange rate,...
answer the following: d. In the Mundell-Fleming model with floating exchange rates, explain what happens to aggregate income, the exchange rate, and the trade balance when taxes are raised. What would happen if exchange rates were fixed rather than floating?
Question 13. After 1973, the world never seemed to be able to return to the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. One reason often cited for this is that after 1973, OPEC sharply raised the dollar price of oil sold on world markets. For countries other than the US, the abandonment of fixed exchange rates turned into a blessing, in light of the increase in the world price of oil. This is because: A. With higher oil prices, these countries’...
5. Balance of payments and the foreign exchange market The following graph shows the market for euros, which is initially in equilibrium. Suppose an economic expansion in Canada leads to an increase in the incomes of Canadian households, causing imports from Europe to rise. On the graph, illustrate the effect of an economic expansion on the market for euros by shifting the appropriate curve or curves. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position....
QUESTION 2. In the late 1960s advocates of a floating exchange rate system argued that one advantage of a world monetary system with market determined exchange rates is that it would impose symmetry on the system. A. Discuss in what ways a system of fixed exchange rates, such as Bretton Woods, is asymmetric. What does asymmetric mean in this context? Why might it be advantageous for the world community to impose symmetry on the system? B. Do floating exchange rates...
Please give a detailed solution, thank you! 5. Given C 5000.75 (Y T) I = 2,000 -50r G 1,000 T 1,000 - 10Y - 2000r Ms 50,000 P a. Derive the IS curve and the LM curve, and find the equilibrium interest rate and output b. Government spending increases by 500. If the central bank does not react at all to this change, what is the new equilibrium output and interest rate? If instead the central bank wants to keep...
