Suppose government increased lump-sum taxes T in an open market economy, which operates under fixed exchange rate regime. What should central bank do to maintain the currency peg in the short run and long run? What happens to price level and real exchange rate in the short run and in the long run? Explain in detail.
As the government increased the lump sum taxes . Increase in lump sum taxes decreases the aggregate expenditure which lead to contractionary fiscal policy .

Uni ule government allows the exchange rate to float. a. Lump-sum taxes increase. b. Foreign income increases. c. Investors expect an appreciation of the home currency. d. The money supply decreases. 2. For each of the following scenarios, assume the economy experiences an exogenous decrease in investment demand. For each case, illustrate the IS-LM-FX diagram and state the effect of the shock (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous) on the following variables: Y, i, E, C, I, TB. Here, we...
Suppose a government decides to reduce spending and (lump-sum) income taxes by the same amount. Using the long-run model of the economy, graphically illustrate the impact of the equal reductions in spending and taxes. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. The direction the curves shift; and v. the terminal equilibrium values. b. State in words what happens to: i. the real interest rate; ii. national saving; iii. investment; iv. consumption;...
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...
3. 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
4. Assume that Canada is a small open economy which uses a system of flexible 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
Consider a reduction in (domestic) taxes (T). a. Consider the event in the long-run closed economy model. How will private and public savings be affected? Explain. Illustrate graphically using the domestic loanable funds market how such an event will affect the equilibrium domestic national savings, domestic investment spending and domestic real interest rate. Explain. b. Consider the same event, but now in the long-run small open economy model(Assume the economy is originally running a trade deficit.) I llustrate graphically using...
I. The economy of Zarland is operating below the full-employment level of output with a balanced budget. (a) Draw a correctly labeled graph of short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand, and show each of the following. (Gi) The country's current equilibrium output and price level, labeled Yj and PL1. respectively (ii) The full-employment output, labeled Yf (b) Ir Zarland increases government expenditures and taxes by equal amounts, can aggregate demand increase? Explain. (c) If Zarland decides to...
Question 4 (10 Marks): Assume that Canada is a small open economy which uses a system of flexible 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.
Suppose Country X is a small open economy with a huge trade deficit. Recently, her government suggests a reduction in income tax. Using the Classical Theories, explain what will happen to net capital outflow and real exchange rate in the long run. Explain the impact on the size of her trade deficit.

4. Consider an economy that abides by a Mundell Fleming model. Capital is imperfectly mobile, prices are perfectly sticky in the short run, and the exchange rate is fixed. Assume that the current exchange rate is at its tar get and the current domestic interest rate is equal to the foreign interest rate. Suppose the local central bank wants to stimulate economic activity by increasing the supply of money through conventional open market oper- ations. Which...
