Consider an open economy with flexible prices and flexible exchange rate. If the government reduces its spending, this will have a positive impact on net exports and could have a negative impact on the output of its trade partners. True or false?
True, a reduction in the government expenditure will lower the interest rate in the market and depreciate the local currency, this will increase the exports as they are cheaper and reduce the imports making the trading nation poor. the given statement is true.

In a small open economy with flexible exchange rates and perfectly flexible prices, how does an increase in import tariffs affect net exports and the volume of trade? (Hint: Volume of trade is the sum of exports plus imports)
The government of Pangea, a small open economy with a flexible exchange rate, has increased government spending by $20 billion. Economists argue that after the crowding-out effect on investment and the crowding-out effect on net exports, the increases in government spending will not affect aggregate demand. Arrange each statement in the proper sequence of events from first to last, to illustrate the reasoning behind this argument. First reduction in net exports due to the appreciation of the domestic currency increased...
14. Consider the open-economy loanable funds model with flexible prices and capital mobility. Suppose that the world consists of a small open economy (we call this domestic) and the rest of the world (we call this foreign). Answer the following questions with the aid of figures where appropriate a. How does an increase in domestic government expenditure affect trade balance and real exchange rate? (2 points] b. How does an increase in foreign government expenditure affect the trade balance and...
Macroland is a small open economy with perfect capital mobility and a fixed-exchange-rate system. Macroland is initially in the long-run equilibrium at the natural level of output with balanced trade. With the help of an appropriate diagram, compare the impact of a tax cut in the short run (when prices are fixed) and in the long run (when prices are flexible) on: 1. Output, 2. Consumption, 3. Investment, 4. Net exports 5. Exchange rate.
II. Consider an open economy with flexible exchange rates. Suppose output is at the natural level, but there is a trade deficit. The goal of policy is to reduce the trade deficit and leave the level of output at its natural level. What is the appropriate fiscal and monetary policy mix?
2. Consider a small open country (Veniceland) with flexible exchange rate and perfect capital mobility. The economy is at the short-run equilibrium, and the domestic and foreign bonds pay the same interest rate. The government aims at increasing households' consumption to stimulate an economic recovery. Which policy should the government adopt? [2p] a. b. Explain the main economic adjustments leading to the new short-run equilibrium income and interest rate. [4p] How does the policy of the government affect the balance...
V. Consider an open economy in which the real exchange rate is fixed and equal to one.

Consider the following open economy. The real exchange rate is fixed and equal to one. Consumption, investment, government spending and taxes are given by: C = co + ci(Y-T), I = 7, G=G, and T=1 Imports and exports are given by: Q = my and X = rY* where asterisk denotes a foreign variable. a) Solve for equilibrium income in the domestic economy, given Y*. What is the multiplier in this economy? If we were to close the economy (so...
