Rivendell, a small open economy, manages to have a national savings equal to 1,001. Its investments are worth 500. If the equation for net export is given by
NX = 2500 - 200ε
what is the real exchange rate? Round to the nearest hundredth decimal place (2 decimal places).
Answer
In an open economy Saving-income equation(identity) is given by :
S = I + NX , where S = National saving = 1001, I = investment = 500 and NX = Net exports = 2500 - 200ε
=> 1001 = 500 + 2500 - 200ε
=> ε = 9.995 = 10(round to teo decimal places)
Hence, Real exchange rate = 10

In the context of a small open economy with national savings independent of the interest rate, an increase in taxation will A) increase the real interest rate. B) reduce the level of net exports. C) increase net capital outflow. D) reduce the level of national savings.
Consider a small open economy with floating exchange rates. The LM curve of this economy is given as ??=20,000???200+(????), and the IS curve is given as ??=500?20,000??+????, where ????=600?300??. Suppose that ??=1,??=100, and the world interest rate (???) is 0.025. 1) Find out the equilibrium values of output (Y), exchange rate (e), and net export (NX) of this economy. ANSWERS = Y = 400, NX = 400, e = 2/3. 2) Suppose the central bank increases the money supply to...

Use the long run model for a small open economy to determine the expected effect on the equilibrium from a decrease in taxes (T). For each of the following variables, state whether it is expected to increase (+), decrease (–), remain unchanged (0), or whether the effect is indeterminate (?). Explain your answers. All variables are in real terms. (a) national savings (S) (b) net exports (NX ) (c) the real exchange rate (ε)

C) independent of the real interest rate D) determined by Liquidity Preferences 9) In the small open economy, the real interest rate increases when: A) net exports increase. B) expected inflation increases C) a large foreign country cuts taxes. D) net export decreases. 10) The inflation rate will increase when all the following happens except: A)...
Question 3 Consider a small open economy. Assume that the following variables are exogenously set: G=1,000; T=800; L=2,500; K=3,000; A=1 and a=0.3. In addition, the consumption function is given by: C=50+0.65(Y-T). Investment is given by: 1=1,000-20r Finally, the world real interest rate is 6% and net exports are given by: NX=500-100€ (e=real exchange rate) Using the long-run model developed in chapter 5, compute the equilibrium values of the following variables. National saving equals Investment equals Trade balance equals The real...
