六、问答题1.怎样计算实际贷款期限和有效利率?P247 P250答:实际贷款期限指使有平均年限计算措施求出旳借款人支配所有贷款金额旳时间。

由于贷款也许是逐渐提取和逐渐偿还旳,实际贷款期会不大于名义贷款期。

在计算实际贷期时,可以把它划分为三个阶段:用款期,即从签约到提完贷款旳时期;还款期,即从开始还款到还清贷款旳时期;用款期和还款期之间旳时期,只是在这一阶段借款人实际支配着所有贷款。

求实际贷款期限,首先要计算用款期和还款期旳平均年限,然后根据用款期和还款期旳平均年限计算实际贷款期限。

国际金融习题与答案(6)精讲

第四章离岸金融市场一、本章要义练习说明:请结合学习情况在以下段落空白处填充适当的文字,使上下文合乎逻辑。

20世纪50年代以后,国际金融领域出现重大变化,将特定货币的存放业务转移到货币发行国境外进行,从而摆脱发行机构的管制和影响,此类市场称做(1)。

目前,全球主要国际金融中心都经营离岸市场业务。

通常,离岸业务与国内金融市场完全分开,不受所在国金融政策限制,可以自由筹措资金,进行外汇交易,实行(2),无需交纳(3)。

经营离岸金融业务的市场又称为(4)或境外货币市场。

20世纪60年代,欧洲货币市场的发展极为迅速,从内在原因来看,第二次世界大战后,资本主义国家经济加快复苏,各国间经济联系越来越密切,西方国家的生产、市场日趋国际化,促进了货币市场的国际化。

从外在原因来看,则集中表现为以下四个方面:(5)、(6)、(7)和(8)。

欧洲货币市场由(9)、(10)和(11)构成,其中(12)是办理短期信贷业务的市场,在该市场进行的资金拆放交易,一般以(13)为基础,酌量增加一定幅度的加息率。

欧洲货币市场的资金来源分别有(14)、(15)、(16)、石油美元存款以及银行发行中、短期欧洲票据和欧洲货币存款单,以此聚集大量欧洲银行贷款资金。

其资金的需求方分别是(17)、(18)和外汇投机者。

欧洲货币市场是一个国际性市场。

它的活动量很大,又不受任何国家的法律约束,所以具有很大的竞争性、投机性和破坏性。

该市场的发展会对国际金融的稳定产生影响,具体来说有以下三点:(19)、(20)和(21)。

总之,欧洲货币市场对国际经济金融局势的稳定是一个潜在的威胁,西方国家已在探讨对它加强管制的问题,但这种设想的提出和各种方案绝非短期所能实现。

(22)是指借款人(债券发行人)在其他国家发行的以非发行国货币标价的债券。

这种境外债券通常是由一些国家的银行和金融机构建立的(23)出售,并由有关国家向投资人提供担保,因此,这个市场作为本国资本市场和外国债券市场以外长期资金筹措的第三个来源,其特点是对借贷双方来说都具有国际性。

第1章外汇与汇率知识掌握二、单项选择题1.C2. D3.B4.B5.C三、多项选择题1.ABCD2. ABD3. BCDE4. ADE知识应用一、案例分析题1.2015年“8.11”汇改后人民币贬值速度较快,一时间引起阵阵恐慌,加之内地缺少有效投资工具,导致大量中产阶级欲将资金转移至境外以寻求保护。

由于香港与内地特殊的政治经济关系而使其成为避险资金的首选,这属于正常现象。

但如果对此不加以约束,易造成资金外流的恶果。

2.人民币贬值对经济生活的影响可以从不同方面来解读:从进出口的角度看,人民币贬值有利于扩大出口,增强产品的国际竞争力;从资本流动的角度看,人民币的贬值会给投资者带来不安全感,对人民币的信心缺失,抛售人民币资产或将资产转移至境外,造成资本外流,而资本外流会进一步加大人民币贬值压力,从而形成恶性循环。

资本流动情况将直接影响国际储备情况,我国这两年外汇储备变动状况清楚地说明了这一点。

此外,人民币对外贬值对我国走出去战略也会产生一定影响,对于海外求学的人来说更不是利好。

知识掌握二、单项选择题1.B2.C 3.C 4.A5.B 6.B7.A8.B9.D 10.C 11.B12.A13.B 14. C 15. B 16.B 17.B知识应用一、案例分析题1.1950年以后,随着欧洲经济的苏和日本经济的崛起,美国贸易逆差不断扩大,黄金储备不断减少,导致美国无力维持美元官价兑换黄金,并最终停止以美元兑换黄金。

2.在布雷顿森森体系下实行的是以美元为中心的固定汇率制度。

以美元为中心的国际货币制度崩溃的根本原因,是这个制度本身存在着不可调和的矛盾。

一方面,美元作为国际支付手段与国际储备手段,要求美元币值稳定,才会在国际支付中被其他国家所普遍接受。

而美元币值稳定,不仅要求美国有足够的黄金储备,而且要求美国的国际收支必须保持顺差,从而使黄金不断流入美国而增加其黄金储备。

否则,人们在国际支付中就不愿接受美元。

另一方面,全世界要获得充足的外汇储备,又要求美国的国际收支保持逆差,否则全世界就会面临外汇储备短缺。

2013.1国际金融名词解释1.Official settlements balance or Overall Balance 官方结算差额(综合账户差额或总差额)The overall balance(B) equals the sum of the current account balance(CA) plus the private capital account balance(FA).B=CA+FA.综合账户差额或总差额,也称官方结算差额,等于经常账户差额(CA)加上私人资本账户余额(FA)。

It should indicate whether the overall pattern of the country's balance of payments has achieved a sustainable equilibrium.It indicates the extent of official intervention in the foreign exchange markets.The official settlements balance also equals the negative of the official reserves balance (OR). B+OR=0.总差额旨在表明国家的国际收支总体状况是否已达到了可持续的均衡,反应了官方干预外汇市场的程度。

由于综合差额必然导致官方储备的反方向变动,所以可用来衡量国际收支对一国储备造成的压力。

2.Dirty Float or Managed Float 肮脏浮动(有管理的浮动)Governments often do not allow a clean float,but rather take actions like official intervention to manage or dirty the float.This policy approach--an exchange rate that is generally floating(or flexible)but with the government willing to intervene to attempt to influence the market rate--is called a dirty float(or a managed float). 各国政府一般不允许汇率完全自由浮动,而是采取官方干预对汇率的浮动进行管理。

托马斯国际金融课后习题答案解析

Suggested answers to questions and problems(in the textbook)Chapter 22. Disagree, at least as a general statement. One meaning of a current accountsurplus is that the country is exporting more goods and services than it is importing. One might easily judge that this is not good—the country is producing goods and services that are exported, but the country is not at the same time getting the imports of goods and services that would allow it do more consumption and domestic investment. In this way a current account deficit might be considered good—the extra imports allow the country to consume and invest domestically more than the value of its currentproduction. Another meaning of a current account surplus is that the country is engaging in foreign financial investment—it is building up its claims on foreigners, and this adds to national wealth. This sounds good, but as noted above it comes at the cost of foregoing current domestic purchases of goods and services. A current account deficit is the country running down its claims on foreigners or increasing its indebtedness to foreigners. This sounds bad, but it comes with the benefit of higher levels of current domestic expenditure. Different countries at different times may weigh the balance of these costs and benefits differently, so that we cannot simply say thata current account surplus is better than a current account deficit.4. Disagree. If the country has a surplus (a positive value) for its officialsettlements balance, then the value for its official reserves balance must be a negative value of the same amount (so that the two add to zero). A negative value for this asset item means that funds are flowing out in order for the country to acquire more of these kinds of assets. Thus, the country isincreasing its holdings of official reserve assets.6. Item e is a transaction in which foreign official holdings of U.S. assetsincrease. This is a positive (credit) item for official reserve assets anda negative (debit) item for private capital flows as the U.S. bank acquirespound bank deposits. The debit item contributes to a U.S. deficit in the official settlements balance (while the credit item is recorded "below the line," permitting the official settlements balance to be in deficit). All other transactions involve debit and credit items both of which are included in the official settlements balance, so that they do not directly contribute to a deficit (or surplus) in the official settlements balance.8. a. Merchandise trade balance: $330 - 198 = $132Goods and services balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 = $124Current account balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 = $119Official settlements balance: $330 - 198 + 196 - 204 + 3 - 8 + 102 - 202 + 4 = $23b. Change in official reserve assets (net) = - official settlements balance= -$23.The country is increasing its net holdings of official reserve assets.10. a. International investment position (billions): $30 + 20 + 15 - 40 - 25 =$0.The country is neither an international creditor nor a debtor. Its holding of international assets equals its liabilities to foreigners.b. A current account surplus permits the country to add to its net claimson foreigners. For this reason the country's international investmentposition will become a positive value. The flow increase in net foreign assets results in the stock of net foreign assets becoming positive.Chapter 32. Exports of merchandise and services result in supply of foreign currency inthe foreign exchange market. Domestic sellers often want to be paid using domestic currency, while the foreign buyers want to pay in their currency.In the process of paying for these exports, foreign currency is exchanged for domestic currency, creating supply of foreign currency. International capital inflows result in a supply of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market. In making investments in domestic financial assets, foreigninvestors often start with foreign currency and must exchange it for domestic currency before they can buy the domestic assets. The exchange creates a supply of foreign currency. Sales of foreign financial assets that thecountry's residents had previously acquired, and borrowing from foreigners by this country's residents are other forms of capital inflow that can create supply of foreign currency.4. The U.S. firm obtains a quotation from its bank on the spot exchange ratefor buying yen with dollars. If the rate is acceptable, the firm instructs its bank that it wants to use dollars from its dollar checking account to buy 1 million yen at this spot exchange rate. It also instructs its bank to send the yen to the bank account of the Japanese firm. To carry out thisinstruction, the U.S. bank instructs its correspondent bank in Japan to take1 million yen from its account at the correspondent bank and transfer theyen to the bank account of the Japanese firm. (The U.S. bank could also use yen at its own branch if it has a branch in Japan.)6. The trader would seek out the best quoted spot rate for buying euros withdollars, either through direct contact with traders at other banks or by using the services of a foreign exchange broker. The trader would use the best rate to buy euro spot. Sometime in the next hour or so (or, typically at least by the end of the day), the trader will enter the interbank market again, to obtain the best quoted spot rate for selling euros for dollars. The trader will use the best spot rate to sell her previously acquired euros. If the spot value of the euro has risen during this short time, the trader makesa profit.8. a. The cross rate between the yen and the krone is too high (the yen valueof the krone is too high) relative to the dollar-foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, in a profitable triangular arbitrage, you want to sell kroner at the high cross rate. The arbitrage will be: Use dollars to buy kroner at $0.20/krone, use these kroner to buy yen at 25 yen/krone, and use the yen to buy dollars at $0.01/yen. For each dollar that you sell initially, you can obtain 5 kroner, these 5 kroner can obtain 125 yen, and the 125 yen can obtain $1.25. The arbitrage profit for each dollar is therefore 25 cents.b. Selling kroner to buy yen puts downward pressure on the cross rate (theyen price of krone). The value of the cross rate must fall to 20 (=0.20/0.01) yen/krone to eliminate the opportunity for triangular arbitrage, assuming that the dollar exchange rates are unchanged.10. a. The increase in supply of Swiss francs puts downward pressure on theexchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.b. The increase in supply of francs puts downward pressure on theexchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.c. The increase in supply of francs puts downward pressure on theexchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.d. The decrease in demand for francs puts downward pressure on theexchange-rate value ($/SFr) of the franc. The monetary authorities must intervene to defend the fixed exchange rate by buying SFr and selling dollars.Chapter 42. You will need data on four market rates: The current interest rate (or yield)on bonds issued by the U.S. government that mature in one year, the current interest rate (or yield) on bonds issued by the British government that mature in one year, the current spot exchange rate between the dollar and pound, and the current one-year forward exchange rate between the dollar and pound.Do these rates result in a covered interest differential that is very close to zero?4. a. The U.S. firm has an asset position in yen—it has a long position in yen.To hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchange contract now in which the firm commits to sell yen and receive dollars at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell1 million yen and receive $9,000, both in 60 days.b. The student has an asset position in yen—a long position in yen. Tohedge the exposure to exchange rate risk, the student should enter into a forward exchange contract now in which the student commits to sell yen and receive dollars at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell10 million yen and receive $90,000, both in 60 days.c. The U.S. firm has an liability position in yen—a short position in yen.To hedge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the firm should enter into a forward exchange contract now in which the firm commits to sell dollars and receive yen at the current forward rate. The contract amounts are to sell $900,000 and receive 100 million yen, both in 60 days.6. Relative to your expected spot value of the euro in 90 days ($1.22/euro),the current forward rate of the euro ($1.18/euro) is low—the forward value of the euro is relatively low. Using the principle of "buy low, sell high,"you can speculate by entering into a forward contract now to buy euros at $1.18/euro. If you are correct in your expectation, then in 90 days you will be able to immediately resell those euros for $1.22/euro, pocketing a profit of $0.04 for each euro that you bought forward. If many people speculate in this way, then massive purchases now of euros forward (increasing the demandfor euros forward) will tend to drive up the forward value of the euro, towarda current forward rate of $1.22/euro.8. a. The Swiss franc is at a forward premium. Its current forward value($0.505/SFr) is greater than its current spot value ($0.500/SFr).b. The covered interest differential "in favor of Switzerland" is ((1 +0.005) (0.505) / 0.500) - (1 + 0.01) = 0.005. (Note that the interest rateused must match the time period of the investment.) There is a coveredinterest differential of 0.5% for 30 days (6 percent at an annual rate). The U.S. investor can make a higher return, covered against exchange rate risk, by investing in SFr-denominated bonds, so presumably the investor should make this covered investment. Although the interest rate on SFr-denominated bonds is lower than the interest rate on dollar-denominated bonds, the forward premium on the franc is larger than this difference, so that the covered investment is a good idea.c. The lack of demand for dollar-denominated bonds (or the supply of thesebonds as investors sell them in order to shift into SFr-denominated bonds) puts downward pressure on the prices of U.S. bonds—upward pressure on U.S.interest rates. The extra demand for the franc in the spot exchange market (as investors buy SFr in order to buy SFr-denominated bonds) puts upward pressure on the spot exchange rate. The extra demand for SFr-denominated bonds puts upward pressure on the prices of Swiss bonds—downward pressure on Swiss interest rates. The extra supply of francs in the forward market (as U.S. investors cover their SFr investments back into dollars) putsdownward pressure on the forward exchange rate. If the only rate that changes is the forward exchange rate, this rate must fall to about $0.5025/SFr. With this forward rate and the other initial rates, the covered interestdifferential is close to zero.10. In testing covered interest parity, all of the interest rates and exchangerates that are needed to calculate the covered interest differential are rates that can observed in the bond and foreign exchange markets. Determining whether the covered interest differential is about zero (covered interest parity) is then straightforward (although some more subtle issues regarding timing of transactions may also need to be addressed). In order to test uncovered interest parity, we need to know not only three rates—two interest rates and the current spot exchange rate—that can be observed in the market, but also one rate—the expected future spot exchange rate—that is notobserved in any market. The tester then needs a way to find out aboutinvestors' expectations. One way is to ask them, using a survey, but they may not say exactly what they really think. Another way is to examine the actual uncovered interest differential after we know what the future spot exchange rate actually turns out to be, and see whether the statistical characteristics of the actual uncovered differential are consistent with an expected uncovered differential of about zero (uncovered interest parity).Chapter 52. a. The euro is expected to appreciate at an annual rate of approximately ((1.005- 1.000)/1.000)⋅(360/180)⋅100 = 1%. The expected uncovered interestdifferential is approximately 3% + 1% - 4% = 0, so uncovered interest parity holds (approximately).b. If the interest rate on 180-day dollar-denominated bonds declines to3%, then the spot exchange rate is likely to increase—the euro willappreciate, the dollar depreciate. At the initial current spot exchange rate, the initial expected future spot exchange rate, and the initial euro interest rate, the expected uncovered interest differential shifts in favor ofinvesting in euro-denominated bonds (the expected uncovered differential is now positive, 3% + 1% - 3% = 1%, favoring uncovered investment ineuro-denominated bonds. The increased demand for euros in the spot exchange market tends to appreciate the euro. If the euro interest rate and theexpected future spot exchange rate remain unchanged, then the current spot rate must change immediately to be $1.005/euro, to reestablish uncovered interest parity. When the current spot rate jumps to this value, the euro's exchange rate value is not expected to change in value subsequently during the next 180 days. The dollar has depreciated immediately, and the uncovered differential then again is zero (3% + 0% - 3% = 0).4. a. For uncovered interest parity to hold, investors must expect that the rateof change in the spot exchange-rate value of the yen equals the interest rate differential, which is zero. Investors must expect that the future spot value is the same as the current spot value, $0.01/yen.b. If investors expect that the exchange rate will be $0.0095/yen, thenthey expect the yen to depreciate from its initial spot value during the next90 days. Given the other rates, investors tend to shift their investmentstoward dollar-denominated investments. The extra supply of yen (and demandfor dollars) in the spot exchange market results in a decrease in the current spot value of the yen (the dollar appreciates). The shift to expecting that the yen will depreciate (the dollar appreciate) sometime during the next 90 days tends to cause the yen to depreciate (the dollar to appreciate)immediately in the current spot market.6. The law of one price will hold better for gold. Gold can be traded easilyso that any price differences would lead to arbitrage that would tend to push gold prices (stated in a common currency by converting prices using market exchange rates) back close to equality. Big Macs cannot be arbitraged. If price differences exist, there is no arbitrage pressure, so the pricedifferences can persist. The prices of Big Macs (stated in a common currency) vary widely around the world.8. According to PPP, the exchange rate value of the DM (relative to the dollar)has risen since the early 1970s because Germany has experienced lessinflation than has the United States—the product price level has risen less in Germany since the early 1970s than it has risen in the United States.According to the monetary approach, the German price level has not risen as much because the German money supply has increased less than the money supply has increased in the United States, relative to the growth rates of real domestic production in the two countries. The British pound is the opposite case—more inflation in Britain than in the United States, and higher money growth in Britain.10. a. Because the growth rate of the domestic money supply (M s) is two percentagepoints higher than it was previously, the monetary approach indicates that the exchange rate value (e) of the foreign currency will be higher than it otherwise would be—that is, the exchange rate value of the country'scurrency will be lower. Specifically, the foreign currency will appreciate by two percentage points more per year, or depreciate by two percentage points less. That is, the domestic currency will depreciate by two percentage points more per year, or appreciate by two percentage points less.b. The faster growth of the country's money supply eventually leads to afaster rate of inflation of the domestic price level (P). Specifically, the inflation rate will be two percentage points higher than it otherwise would be. According to relative PPP, a faster rate of increase in the domestic price level (P) leads to a higher rate of appreciation of the foreign currency.12. a. For the United States in 1975, 20,000 = k⋅100⋅800, or k = 0.25.For Pugelovia in 1975, 10,000 = k⋅100⋅200, or k = 0.5.b. For the United States, the quantity theory of money with a constant kmeans that the quantity equation with k = 0.25 should hold in 2002: 65,000 = 0.25⋅260⋅1,000. It does. Because the quantity equation holds for both years with the same k, the change in the price level from 1975 to 2002 is consistent with the quantity theory of money with a constant k. Similarly, for Pugelovia, the quantity equation with k = 0.5 should hold for 2002, and it does (58,500 = 0.5⋅390⋅300).14. a. The tightening typically leads to an immediate increase in the country'sinterest rates. In addition, the tightening probably also results ininvestors' expecting that the exchange-rate value of the country's currency is likely to be higher in the future. The higher expected exchange-rate value for the currency is based on the expectation that the country's price level will be lower in the future, and PPP indicates that the currency will then be stronger. For both of these reasons, international investors will shift toward investing in this country's bonds. The increase in demand for the country's currency in the spot exchange market causes the currentexchange-rate value of the currency to increase. The currency may appreciatea lot because the current exchange rate must "overshoot" its expected futurespot value. Uncovered interest parity is reestablished with a higher interest rate and a subsequent expected depreciation of the currency.b. If everything else is rather steady, the exchange rate (the domesticcurrency price of foreign currency) is likely to decrease quickly by a large amount. After this jump, the exchange rate may then increase gradually toward its long-run value—the value consistent with PPP in the long run.Chapter 62. We often use the term pegged exchange rate to refer to a fixed exchange rate,because fixed rates generally are not fixed forever. An adjustable peg is an exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency can be changed from time to time, but usually it is changed rather seldom (for instance, not more than once every several years). A crawling peg is an exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency is changed often (for instance, weekly or monthly), sometimes according to indicators such as the difference in inflation rates.4. Disagree. If a country is expected to impose exchange controls, which usuallymake it more difficult to move funds out of the country in the future,investors are likely to try to shift funds out of the country now before the controls are imposed. The increase in supply of domestic currency into the foreign exchange market (or increase in demand for foreign currency) puts downward pressure on the exchange rate value of the country's currency—the currency tends to depreciate.6. a. The market is attempting to depreciate the pnut (appreciate the dollar)toward a value of 3.5 pnuts per dollar, which is outside of the top of the allowable band (3.06 pnuts per dollar). In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian monetary authorities could use official intervention to buy pnuts (in exchange for dollars). Buying pnuts prevents the pnut’s value from declining (selling dollars prevents the dollar’s value from rising). The intervention satisfies the excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate.b. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian governmentcould impose exchange controls in which some private individuals who want to sell pnuts and buy dollars are told that they cannot legally do this (or cannot do this without government permission, and not all requests areapproved by the government). By artificially restricting the supply of pnuts (and the demand for dollars), the Pugelovian government can force theremaining private supply and demand to "clear" within the allowable band.The exchange controls attempt to stifle the excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate.c. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian governmentcould increase domestic interest rates (perhaps by a lot). The higherdomestic interest rates shift the incentives for international capital flows toward investments in Pugelovian bonds. The increased flow of international financial capital into Pugelovia increases the demand for pnuts on theforeign exchange market. (Also, the decreased flow of internationalfinancial capital out of Pugelovia reduces the supply of pnuts on the foreign exchange market.) By increasing the demand for pnuts (and decreasing the supply), the Pugelovian government can induce the private market to clear within the allowable band. The increased domestic interest rates attempt to shift the private supply and demand curves so that there is no excess private demand for dollars at the current pegged exchange rate value.8. a. The gold standard was a fixed rate system. The government of each countryparticipating in the system agreed to buy or sell gold in exchange for its own currency at a fixed price of gold (in terms of its own currency). Becauseeach currency was fixed to gold, the exchange rates between currencies also tended to be fixed, because individuals could arbitrage between gold and currencies if the currency exchange rates deviated from those implied by the fixed gold prices.b. Britain was central to the system, because the British economy was theleader in industrialization and world trade, and because Britain wasconsidered financially secure and prudent. Britain was able and willing to run payments deficits that permitted many other countries to run payments surpluses. The other countries used their surpluses to build up theirholdings of gold reserves (and of international reserves in the form of sterling-denominated assets). These other countries were satisfied with the rate of growth of their holdings of liquid reserve assets, and most countries were able to avoid the crisis of running low on international reserves.c. During the height of the gold standard, from about 1870 to 1914, theeconomic shocks to the system were mild. A major shock—World War I—caused many countries to suspend the gold standard.d. Speculation was generally stabilizing, both for the exchange ratesbetween the currencies of countries that were adhering to the gold standard, and for the exchange rates of countries that temporarily allowed theircurrencies to float.10. a. The Bretton Woods system was an adjustable pegged exchange rate system.Countries committed to set and defend fixed exchange rates, financingtemporary payments imbalances out of their official reserve holdings. If a "fundamental disequilibrium" in a country's international paymentsdeveloped, the country could change the value of its fixed exchange rate toa new value.b. The United States was central to the system. As the Bretton Woods systemevolved, it became essentially a gold-exchange standard. The monetaryauthorities of other countries committed to peg the exchange rate values of their currencies to the U.S. dollar. The U.S. monetary authority committed to buy and sell gold in exchange for dollars with other countries' monetary authorities at a fixed dollar price of gold.c. To a large extent speculation was stabilizing, both for the fixed ratesfollowed by most countries, and for the exchange rate value of the Canadian dollar, which floated during 1950-62. However, the pegged exchange ratevalues of currencies sometimes did come under speculative pressure.International investors and speculators sometimes believed that they had a one-way speculative bet against currencies that were considered to be "in trouble.” If the country did manage to defend the pegged exchange rate value of its currency, the investors betting against the currency would loselittle. They stood to gain a lot of profit if the currency was devalued.Furthermore, the large speculative flows against the currency required large interventions to defend the currency's pegged value, so that the government was more likely to run so low on official reserves that it was forced to devalue.12. a. The dollar bloc and the euro bloc. A number of countries peg their currenciesto the U.S. dollar. A number of European countries use the euro, and, in addition, a number of other countries peg their currencies to the euro.b. The other major currencies that float independently include (as of thebeginning of 2002) the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Swiss franc.c. The exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the other major currencieshave been floating since the early 1970s. The movements in these rates exhibit trends in the long run—over the entire period since the early 1970s. The rates also show substantial variability or volatility in the short and medium runs—periods of less than one year to periods of several years. The long run trends appear to be reasonably consistent with the economic fundamentals emphasized by purchasing power parity—differences in national inflation rates. The variability or volatility in the short or medium run iscontroversial. It may simply represent rational responses to the continuing flow of economic and political news that has implications for exchange rate values. The effects on rates can be large and rapid, because overshooting occurs as rates respond to important news. However, some part of the large volatility may also reflect speculative bandwagons that lead to bubbles that subsequently burst.Chapter 72. Disagree. In a sense a national government cannot go bankrupt, because itcan print its own currency. But a national government can refuse to honor its obligations, even if it might be able to pay. If the benefit from not paying exceeds the cost of not paying, the government may rationally refuse to pay. And, a national government can run short of foreign currency to payobligations denominated in foreign currency, because it cannot print foreign money.4. The debt crisis in 1982 was precipitated by (a) increased cost of servicingdebt, because of a rise in interest rates in the United States and other developed countries as tighter monetary policies were used to fightinflation, (b) decreased export earnings in the debtor countries, because of decreased demand and lower commodity prices as the tighter monetarypolicies resulted in a world recession, and (c) an investor shift tocurtailing new lending and trying to get old loans repaid quickly, once it became clear that (a) and (b) would lead to some defaults.6. With free international lending Japan lends 1,800 (= 6,000 - 4,200) toAmerica, at point T. If Japan and America each impose a 2 percent tax on international lending, the total tax is 4 percent. The gap WZ restoresequilibrium, and the amount lent internationally declines to 600 (= 6,000 - 5,400). The interest rate in Japan (and the one received net of taxes by Japan’s international lenders) is 3 percent and the interest rate in America (and the one paid including taxes by Amer ica’s international borrowers) is7 percent. (The difference is the 4 percent of taxes.) Japan’s governmentcollects international-lending tax revenues equal to area r, but this is effectively paid by Japanese lenders who see their earnings on the 600 of foreign lending that continues decline by this amount. The net effect on Japan is a loss of area n because the taxes prevent some previously profitable lending from occurring. America’s government collects tax revenues equal to area k, but this is effectively paid by American borrowers who must paya higher interest rate on their foreign borrowing. The net effect on Americais a loss of area j because of the decline in international borrowing.。

三、判断对错练习说明:判断下列表述是否正确,并在对(T)或错(F)上画圈。

1.国际收支,是指一个国家或地区与世界上其他国家或地区之间,由于贸易、非贸易和资本往来而引起国际间资金移动,从而发生的一种国际间资金收支行为。

答案与解析:对。

2.单一记账货币原则,指所有记账单位要折合为同一种货币,记账货币只能是美元。

比如,我国国际收支平衡表的记账货币是美元,美国国际收支平衡表的记账货币也是美元。

答案与解析:错。

单一记账货币原则,指所有记账单位要折合为同一种货币,记账货币可以使本国货币,也可以是其他国家货币。

3.国际收支≠外汇收支,不过宏观经济分析中往往以外汇收支作为国际收支的替代指标。

答案与解析:对。

4.如果每一笔对外经济交易活动都能够准确、及时地在国际收支平衡表得到反映,那么,由于复式记账原则要求同时在借方和贷方记入相同金额,所以国际收支平衡表的借方总额和贷方总额应当始终是相等的。

答案与解析:对。

5.一国的对外支出就是其他相关国家得自该国的收入,反之亦然。

因此,以整个世界而言,所有国家国际收支的总和应该是平衡的。

由于存在统计误差,以及人为因素造成的瞒报、漏报、错报等情况,国际收支经常不平衡。

6.国际收支平衡表考察的是“流量”而不是“存量”,记录的是一定时期内的发生额而不是某个时点的持有额,所以国际收支平衡表≠国家资产负债表。

国际收支平衡表所表示的,是一国在一定时期内从国外接受的资金或资产和对国外所支付的资金或资产,并不是特定时点上一国所持有的外国资产和对外负债总额。

答案与解析:对。

7.国际收支平衡表是指按照一定的编制原则和格式,将一国一定时期国际收支的不同项目进行排列组合,进行对比,以反映和说明该国的国际收支状况的表式。

国际收支平衡表是对一个国家一定时期内发生的国际收支行为的具体的、系统的统计与记录。

国际收支平衡表是反映一国对外经济发展、偿债能力等关键信息的重要文件,也是各国制定开放经济条件下宏观经济政策的基本依据。

《国际金融》总复习答案概念比较题(每小题4分)狭义国际收支与广义国际收支:1、联系:广义国际收支是从狭义国际收支发展和延伸而来。

区别:狭义国际收支是以支付为基础的,而广义国际收支则是以交易为基础。

2直接标价法与间接标价法联系:都是汇率的表达方式,两种标价法下的汇率互为倒数,乘积等于1。

区别:直接标价法是用本币表示外币价格的标价方法;间接标价法是用外币表示本币价格的标价方法。

3、多头和空头联系:它们都是指银行或其他交易者持有的外汇余额,统称为“敞口头寸”。

区别:多头是指手中持有的外汇余额为正(或买入>卖出),空头是指手中持有的外汇余额为负(或买入<卖出)。

4、直接管制和间接管制相同点:二者都属于外汇管制的方式。

都由一国政府实行。

不同点:直接管制是一国政府运用法律和行政的手段实行的管制。

间接管制是指一国政府在外汇市场上买卖外汇,通过影响外汇供求实行的管制。

5、自主性交易与调节性交易联系:都属国际经济交易,都包括在国际收支里。

区别:交易的目的不同,时间先后也不同。

6、即期汇率与远期汇率联系:都是外汇市场所报出的汇率,供银行和客户进行外汇买卖。

区别:即期汇率是买卖即期外汇的汇率;远期汇率是买卖远期外汇的汇率。

外汇市场所报出的汇率一般都是即期汇率,远期汇率是以即期汇率为基础的,但与即期汇率有一定差价,远期差价主要有升水和贴水两种。

7、美式期权和欧式期权联系:二者都属期权的类型。

区别:美式期权是指在到期日或之前可以行使合同的期权;欧式期权是指只能在到期日行使合同的期权。

8、结汇和售汇相同点:二者都是一国对外汇收支进行的管制措施。

不同点:结汇是对外汇收入采取的措施,实施对象是出口商;售汇是对外汇支出采取的措施,实施对象是进口商。

9、固定汇率制与浮动汇率制联系:都属汇率制度的范畴。

区别:固定汇率制是指现实汇率受平价的制约,并围绕平价在很小的范围内上下波动的汇率制度;而浮动汇率制是指现实汇率不受平价的限制,随外汇市场供求状况变动而波动的汇率制度。

10、掉期交易和套期保值联系:二者都是正反进行了两次操作,目的都是为了回避风险。

区别:掉期交易的两次交易的金额都相等,买卖的时间相同;套期保值的两次交易的金额不一定相等,交易时间也不一定相同。

11、自由外汇与记账外汇联系:二者都属外汇概念,都可用于国际结算区别:自由外汇可用于多边国际结算,通常为可自由兑换货币;而记账外汇只可进行双边结算,通常为不可自由兑换货币。

12、货币贬值与法定贬值联系:二者都是指一国货币汇率下跌。

区别:货币贬值由于外汇市场上该国货币供过于求导致的;法定贬值是由该国货币当局以法令的形式规定的。

弹性汇率制是指将本币钉住或不钉住某一货币,但汇率波动幅度较大的汇率制度。

13、国际资本流动亦称国际资本移动,是指资本从一个国家(或地区)向其他国家(或地区)的流动或转移。

包括资本流入和资本流出。

14、欧洲货币市场就是在非居民和非居民之间对以欧洲货币为载体的货币资金进行借贷所形成的市场,又称为境外货币市场。
