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.

1. Consider the following economy of Syldavia (a small open economy) Y=C+I+G+NX , NX = S-I Y=8000 G=750 T=750 C=1000+0.75(Y-T) I=1000-100r NX=500-500e r=r*=5 d. [ 5 points] Suppose the world interest rate drop from r=5 to 2percent (assume government G=750). Find the national saving, investment, trade balance, capital outflow and equilibrium exchange rate.

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).

3. (8 points) Consider a small open economy in the Specific-Factors model with 2 goods (C and F) and three factors (mobile labor, fixed capital in C, and fixed land in F). Except otherwise noted, assume that every factor has the same preferences for C and F. Under free trade, the economy exports F. (a) As the home country opens up from autarky to trade, the opportunity cost of F in...
