第4章作业题答案,4174

宏观第四章作业答案1题.(a) IS 曲线上的每一点都代表产品市场中的一个均衡。
于是我们可以从商品市场的均衡条件即总收入等于总支出来推导IS 曲线,由给出的第一、二、三、四,四个等式可得: 0.8(10.5)90050800Y C I G Y i =++=×−×+−+⇒0.4170050Y i ×=−(170050)/0.44250125Y i i ⇒=−=−这就是IS 曲线。
(b) IS 曲线表示产品市场均衡时的利率和收入水平的组合。
它描述了利率和收入的反向变动关系,利率下降会导致支出增加,从而厂商的实际产出增加,收入增加。
(c) LM 曲线上的每一点都代表了货币市场的一个均衡。
于是我们可以从货币市场的均衡条件即货币供给等于货币需求来推导LM 曲线,由(P5)(P6)可得:5000.2562.5(50062.5)/0.25ML Y i Y i P=⇒=×−⇒=+ 2000250Y i ⇒=+这就是LM 曲线。
(d) LM 曲线代表了货币市场处于均衡时候的利率与收入水平的组合,即货币供给等于货币需求时候的利率和收入水平的组合。
它描述了利率和收入水平的同向变动关系,收入增加会引起实际货币余额的需求增加,在货币供给不变的情况下,会导致利率的提高,利率的提高又会减少实际货币余额的需求,并使之重新回到原来的需求水平,与货币供给相等。
(e) IS 曲线和LM 曲线的交点代表了收入和利率的均衡水平。
在这个例子中,有:4250125200025037522506IS LM i i i i ∗=⇒−=+⇒=⇒= 4250125425012563500Y i ∗∗=−=−×=即均衡收入水平是3500,均衡利率是6。
(f) 在IS 曲线和LM 曲线的交点处产品市场和货币市场同时处于均衡,在产品市场,自主支出等与实际产出等于总收入,在货币市场,货币供给等于货币需求。
利率和收入都没有进一步改变的倾向。
宏观经济学-第4章习题答案

第四章生产论南方医科大学2010级经济学(医药贸易与管理方向)W洋1. 下面(表4—1)是一张一种可变生产要素的短期生产函数的产量表:表4—1(2)该生产函数是否表现出边际报酬递减?如果是,是从第几单位的可变要素投入量开始的?解答:(1)利用短期生产的总产量(TP)、平均产量(AP)和边际产量(MP)之间的关系,可以完成对该表的填空,其结果如表4—2所示:表4—2开始逐步下降的这样一种普遍的生产现象。
本题的生产函数表现出边际报酬递减的现象,具体地说,由表4—2可见,当可变要素的投入量从第4单位增加到第5单位时,该要素的边际产量由原来的24下降为12。
2. 用图说明短期生产函数Q=f(L, eq \o(K,\s\up6(-)) )的TP L曲线、AP L曲线和MP L曲线的特征及其相互之间的关系。
解答:短期生产函数的TP L曲线、AP L曲线和MP L曲线的综合图如图4—1所示。
图4—1由图4—1可见,在短期生产的边际报酬递减规律的作用下,MP L曲线呈现出先上升达到最高点A以后又下降的趋势。
从边际报酬递减规律决定的MP L曲线出发,可以方便地推导出TP L曲线和AP L曲线,并掌握它们各自的特征及相互之间的关系。
关于TP L曲线。
由于MP L= eq \f(d TP L,d L) ,所以,当MP L>0时,TP L曲线是上升的;当MP L<0时,TP L曲线是下降的;而当MP L=0时,TP L曲线达最高点。
换言之,在L =L3时,MP L曲线达到零值的B点与TP L曲线达到最大值的B′点是相互对应的。
此外,在L<L3即MP L>0的范围内,当MP′L>0时,TP L曲线的斜率递增,即TP L曲线以递增的速率上升;当MP′L<0时,TP L曲线的斜率递减,即TP L曲线以递减的速率上升;而当MP′=0时,TP L曲线存在一个拐点,换言之,在L=L1时,MP L曲线斜率为零的A点与TP L曲线的拐点A′是相互对应的。

多马模型G= S/V 中V=4G=7%从而S=G?V=7%×4=28%三、论述题1、英国经济学家哈罗德、美国经济学家多马把凯恩斯理论的短期比较静态分析扩展为长期动态分析在凯恩斯就业理论的基础上分别建立了自己的增长模型由于二者基本内容大致相同通称为哈罗德-多马模型(1)哈罗德模型哈罗德指出凯恩斯收入均衡论的局限性认为要保证经济长期均衡增长必须要求投资保持一定的增长率为分析实现经济稳定增长的均衡条件哈罗德建立了经济增长模型假设条件有:①全社会只生产一种产品不用于消费部分都用于投资②储蓄倾向不变储蓄由收入水平决定③社会生产中只有劳动和资本两种生产要素两种要素的比例不变而且每单位产品消耗的生产要素也不变④技术水平不变边际资本系数等于平均资本系数即资本产量比率不变⑤资本和劳动的边际生产率递减(2)多马模型投资两重性:一方面投资增加有效需求和国民收入即扩大了需求另一方面投资还增加了资本存量和生产能力即扩大了供给多马认为:通过增加投资解决失业问题就必须在下一时期增加更多的支出(需求)才能保证新增加的资本存量及其潜在的生产能力得到充分利用(3)哈罗德-多马模型的理论观点把哈罗德-模型和多马模型合在一起从哈罗德-多马模型出发可得出以下三个观点①经济稳定增长的条件当一定得合意储蓄率与合意得资本-产量比率决定的经济增长率是有保障的增长率时社会经济就能够实现稳定增长②短期经济波动的原因如果实际增长率与有保障的增长率不相等就会引起经济波动实际增长率和有保证的增长率一致是很少见的、偶然的所以社会经济必然要出现波动在收缩和扩张的交替中发展③经济长期波动的原因有保证的增长率和自然增长率之间的关系变化成为经济社会长期波动的原因宏观经济学习题参考答案(部分)(4)哈罗德-多马模型的理论基础是凯恩斯主义理论它不仅在理论上是投资等于储蓄这一公式的长期化与动态化而且在分析中也沿用了凯恩斯主义的某些脱离现实的抽象心理概念例如对经济增长具有重要作用的有保证的增长率是资本家感到满意并准备继续下去的增长率这里所强调的仍然是资本家的心理预测即凯恩斯所说的资本边际效率这样就和凯恩斯同样把资本家的乐观或悲观的情绪扩大为决定经济发展的因素哈罗德-多马模型关于短期与长期经济波动的分析和其他经济周期理论一样否认了波动的根本原因--资本主义社会的基本矛盾用一些抽象的技术经济关系来说明经济波动的产生哈罗德虽然也承认资本主义社会经济波动的必然性但他仍然相信资本主义是可以实现稳定的长期增长的他的整个分析正是为实现这种稳定增长而出谋划策当然对哈罗德-多马模型如果加以改造或使用不同的解释也可以为我们所借鉴例如把哈罗德-多马模型的储蓄率(s)解释为积累率把产量-资本之比(1/c)解释为投资的经济效果即每单位增加的可以造成的产量的增加那么该模型的公式即可变为国民收入增长率=积累率×投资的经济效果或G= s 1/c式中:投资的经济效果为资本-产出之比的倒数至少在理论上它的数值式可能被事先估算出来的在已知投资经济效果的情况下哈罗德-多马模型可以被认为是表明国民收入增长率和积累率之间的数量关系的公式。
宏观经济学课后习题答案

宏观经济学课后习题答案!!第一章导论1.(1)宏观经济学研究的问题是一个国家整体经济的运行情况以及政府如何运用经济政策来影响国家整体经济的运作。
其核心是国民收入决定理论和就业理论。
(2)宏观经济学研究的是总体经济问题,它涉及经济中商品与劳务的总产出及其增长速度、通货膨胀与失业的程度、经济衰退及其原因、国际收支状况及汇率的变动等。
2.(1)宏观经济学与微观经济学的区别:①研究对象不同。
微观经济学的研究对象是单个经济单位,如家庭、厂商等。
宏观的研究对象则是整个经济,研究整个经济的运行方式与规律,从总量上分析经济问题。
②解决的问题不同。
微观解决的是资源配置问题,即生产什么、如何生产和为谁生产的问题,以实现个体效益的最大化。
宏观则把资源配置作为既定的前提,研究社会范围内的资源利用问题,以实现社会福利的最大化。
③研究方法不同。
微观的研究方法是个量分析,即研究经济变量的单项数值如何决定。
宏观则是总量分析,即对能够反映整个经济运行情况的经济变量的决定、变动及其相互关系进行分析。
④基本假设不同。
微观的基本假设是市场出清(在给定的价格P之下,市场上的意愿供给等于意愿需求,达到均衡状态)、完全理性、充分信息,认为“看不见的手”能自由调节实现资源的优化配置。
宏观则是既定市场机制是不完善的,政府有能力调节经济,通过“看得见的手”纠正市场机制的缺陷。
⑤中心理论不同。
微观的中心理论是价格理论,还包括消费者行为理论、生产理论、分配理论、一般均衡理论、市场理论、产权理论、福利经济学、管理理论等。
宏观的中心理论则是国民收入决定理论,还包括失业与通货膨胀理论、经济周期理论与经济增长理论、开放经济理论等。
(2)宏观经济学与微观经济学的联系:①微观经济分析是宏观经济分析的基础,离开了微观分析这一基础,宏观分析将成为空中楼阁。
②从根本目标上看,宏观经济分析与微观经济分析也是一致的。
③宏观经济学与微观经济学虽然分析的侧重点不同,但二者是不能分开的。

This isbecause the shock is temporary, implying the central bank will increase themoney supply from M 2to M 1in the long run.e the money market and FX diagrams from (a) to answer the following questions.This question considers the relationship between the Indian rupees (Rs) and the U.S.dollar ($).

On all graphs, label the ini-tial equilibrium point A .a.Illustrate how a permanent increase in India’s money supply affects the money andFX markets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equi-librium point C .Answer:See the following diagram. Thick arrows indicate temporary movementwhile thinner ones indicate the movements in the long run. In the short run,prices are fixed. Therefore the real money supply changes from MS 1to MS 2, thustemporarily lowering the domestic interest rate. In the long run, as prices rise,the real money supply and interest rate return to their original level. In the for-eign exchange market, FR shifts to the right and stays there permanently becauseof an expected depreciation of rupees.S-24Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Runi Rs i 1Rs i 2Rs1Rs2Rs12E 1E 2E 3M 2INP 2IN E Rs/$M 1IN P 1IN M 2IN P 1IN3.Is overshooting (in theory and in practice) consistent with purchasing power parity?Consider the reasons for the usefulness of PPP in the short run versus the long run and the assumption we’ve used in the asset approach (in the short run versus the long run). How does overshooting help to resolve the empirical behavior of exchange rates in the short run versus the long run?Answer:Y es, overshooting is consistent with PPP. Investors forecast the expected ex-change rate based on the theory of PPP.When there is some change in the market, the investors know the exchange rate will change to equate relative prices in the long run.This is why we observe overshooting in the short run—the investors incorporate this information into their short-run forecasts. Exchange rates are volatile in the short run.The theory’s implication that there is exchange rate overshooting (in response to per-manent shocks) is one explanation for short-run volatility in exchange rates.e the money market and foreign exchange (FX) diagrams to answer the followingquestions. This question considers the relationship between the euro (€) and the U.S.dollar ($). The exchange rate is in U.S. dollars per euro, E$/€. Suppose that with fi-nancial innovation in the United States, real money demand in the United States de-creases. On all graphs, label the initial equilibrium point A.a.Assume this change in U.S. real money demand is temporary. Using the FX andmoney market diagrams, illustrate how this change affects the money and FXmarkets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilib-rium point C.Answer: See the following diagram. The long-run values are the same as the ini-tial values because the shock is temporary. Also because the shock is temporary,we assume that the reversal of real money demand occurs before the price leveladjusts—that is, MD returns from MD2to MD1before the price level changes.

Using a new dia-gram, illustrate how this change affects the money and FX markets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilibrium point C.Answer:See the following diagram. In the long run, the price level will have to increase to adjust for the drop in real money demand (assuming the central bank does not change the money supply, M). That is, the nominal interest rate returns to its initial value in the long run. This requires that the price level increase to reduce real money supply. The drop in real money demand will have to be met one-for-one with a drop in real money supply (generated by an increase in the price level). In this case, the expected exchange rate changes because the shock is permanent.

Illustrate theshort-run (label the equilibrium point B ) and long-run effects (label the equilib-rium point C ) of this policy.Answer:See the following diagram. In the short run, prices are fixed. Thereforethe real money supply changes from MS 1to MS 2, thus temporarily raising the Ko-rean interest rate.

How will this affect theFX market in the short run if investors believe the Bank of Korea’s announcement?Answer:See the following diagram. I n this case, interest rates on won-denominated deposits don’t change because the Bank of Korea doesn’t cut themoney supply. However, because investors expected the Bank of Korea to cut themoney supply, they expect the won will appreciate relative to the yen, causing adecrease in the return on yen-denominated deposits in the short run.

The most dramatic appreci-ation in the won occurs when the reduction in M is coupled with investorsanticipating the appreciation in the won. In general, a policy must be cred-ible for it to have an effect in the long run.6.In the late 1990s, several East Asian countries used limited flexibility or currency pegsin managing their exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. This question considers how different countries responded to the East Asian Currency Crisis (1997–1998).For the following questions, treat the East Asian country as the home country and the United States as the foreign country. Also, for the diagrams, you may assume these countries maintained a currency peg (fixed rate) relative to the U.S. dollar. Also, for the following questions, you need consider only the short-run effects.a.In July 1997, investors expected that the Thai baht would depreciate. That is, theyexpected that Thailand’s central bank would be unable to maintain the currency peg with the U.S. dollar. Illustrate how this change in investors’ expectations af-fects the Thai money market and the FX market, with the exchange rate defined as baht (B) per U.S. dollar, denoted E B/$. Assume the Thai central bank wants to maintain capital mobility and preserve the level of its interest rate and abandons the currency peg in favor of a floating exchange rate regime.Answer:If Thailand is willing to let its currency float against the dollar, thenThailand’s central bank can maintain monetary policy autonomy and interna-tional capital mobility.

Illustrate how this change in in-vestors’ expectations affects the Indonesian money market and the FX market,with the exchange rate defined as rupiahs (Rp) per U.S. dollar, denoted E Rp /$. As-sume the Indonesian central bank wants to maintain capital mobility and the cur-rency peg.Answer: If Indonesia wants to maintain the currency peg against the dollar andmaintain international capital mobility, it will have to give up monetary policyautonomy. In this case, Indonesia has to increase the domestic interest rate to keepinvestors from dumping their rupiah-denominated deposits for U.S. dollars andmove their investments out of Indonesia (this would then cause a depreciation inthe rupiah).i rup i 1rup i 2rup 1rup 2rupM 1I / P 1I M 2I / P 1I 12FR E 1E rupiah/$2c.Malaysia had a similar experience, except that it used capital controls to maintainits currency peg and preserve the level of its interest rate. Illustrate how this change in investors’ expectations affects the Malaysian money market and the FX market,with the exchange rate defined as ringgit (RM) per U.S. dollar, denoted E RM/$. Y ou need show only the short-run effects of this change in investors’ expectations.Answer:See the following diagram. In the absence of capital controls Malaysian interest rate would have to rise. However, by preventing investors from taking ad-vantage of arbitrage, Malaysia creates a disequilibrium. The investors require i 2RM to keep their deposits in Malaysia, but they only receive i 1RM . Because of the cap-ital controls imposed by Malaysia, investors cannot withdraw their ringgit-denominated deposits (selling ringgit in exchange for dollars in the FX market).n effect, the foreign market equilibrium diagram shown below does notwork/exist. This allows Malaysia to maintain monetary policy autonomy and a fixed exchange rate at the same time.Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short RunS-31i RM i 1RM i 2RM 1RM 2RM M 1M / P 1M 12E 1E RM/$pare and contrast the three approaches just outlined. As a policy maker,which would you favor? Explain.Answer: There is no “correct” answer to this question. The cases above highlight the trilemma because each country can choose a different option depending on their domestic or international priorities. They need to compare the benefits of having any two of (a) fixed exchange rates, (b) monetary autonomy, and (c) in-ternational capital mobility against the cost of not having the third one.7.Several countries have opted to join currency unions. Examples include the Euroarea, the CFA franc union in W est Africa, and the Caribbean currency union. This in-volves sacrificing the domestic currency in favor of using a single currency unit in multiple countries. Assuming that once a country joins a currency union it will not leave, do these countries face the policy trilemma discussed in the text? Explain.Answer: These countries do face the trilemma because they are committed to main-taining the first policy goal of a fixed exchange rate. Joining a currency union effec-tively means a country has a fixed exchange rate without the need for government intervention because the money supply is controlled by a regional central bank for member countries. This effectively reduces the choice to a dilemma between mone-tary policy autonomy versus international capital mobility. T ypically, countries that are parts of a currency union sacrifice monetary policy autonomy; policy decisions are made jointly rather than independently.S-32Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Run8.During the Great Depression, the United States remained on the international goldstandard longer than other countries. This effectively meant that the United States wascommitted to maintaining a fixed exchange rate at the onset of the Great Depression.The U.S. dollar was pegged to the value of gold along with other major currencies,including the British pound, the French franc, and so on. Many researchers haveblamed the severity of the Great Depression on the Federal Reserve and its failure toreact to economic conditions in 1929 and 1930. Discuss how the policy trilemma ap-plies to this situation.Answer: The United States was committed to the fixed exchange rate with gold;consequently, policy makers had to sacrifice either monetary policy autonomy or cap-ital mobility, just as the trilemma suggests. Based on the information given in thequestion, we can assume that the policy did not respond to the U.S. business cycle(policy makers did not exercise monetary policy autonomy). Thus, if we assume in-ternational capital mobility, the United States could not react to the business cyclewith a monetary expansion until it abandoned the gold standard.9.On June 20, 2007, John Authers, investment editor of the Financial Times,wrote thefollowing in his column “The Short View”:The Bank of England published minutes showing that only the narrowest pos-sible margin, 5–4, voted down [an interest] rate hike last month. Nobody fore-saw this. . . . The news took sterling back above $1.99, and to a 15-year highagainst the yen.Can you explain the logic of this statement? Interest rates in the United Kingdomhad remained unchanged in the weeks since the vote and were still unchanged afterthe minutes were released. What news was contained in the minutes that causedtraders to react? Use the asset approach.Answer: The news item indicates that investors did not expect the decision to leaveinterest rates unchanged would be divisive. They thought that any increases in inter-est rates would happen further in the future. Higher interest rates would lead to anappreciation in the pound sterling. When the minutes showed that interest rate in-creases were more likely than previously thought, investors came to expect an appre-ciation sooner rather than later. This caused an appreciation in the current spot ex-change rate.10.W e can use the asset approach to both make predictions about how the market willreact to current events and understand how important these events are to investors.Consider the behavior of the Union/Confederate exchange rate during the CivilW ar. How would each of the following events affect the exchange rate, defined as?Confederate dollars per Union dollar, EC$/$a.The Confederacy increases the money supply by 2,900% between July and De-cember of 1861.Answer: The Confederate money supply increases, the exchange rate increases,and the Confederate dollar depreciates.b.The Union Army suffers a defeat in Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863.Answer: Appreciation in the Confederate dollar is expected because a militaryvictory means a stable economy and monetary policy, implying decreased uncer-tainty and risk, the exchange rate decreases, and the Confederate dollar appreci-ates.c.The Confederate Army suffers a major defeat with Sherman’s March in the au-tumn of 1864.Answer: Just the opposite of (b) above: depreciation in the Confederate dollar isexpected because of military defeat increases economic and monetary uncertaintyand risk; the exchange rate increases, and the Confederate dollar depreciates.。
【VIP专享】宏观经济学思考题及参考答案

宏观经济学思考题及参考答案(1)第四章基本概念:潜在GDP,总供给,总需求,AS曲线,AD曲线。
思考题1、宏观经济学的主要目标是什么?写出每个主要目标的简短定义。
请详细解释为什么每一个目标都十分重要。
答:宏观经济学目标主要有四个:充分就业、物价稳定、经济增长和国际收支平衡。
(1)充分就业的本义是指所有资源得到充分利用,目前主要用人力资源作为充分就业的标准;充分就业本不是指百分之百的就业,一般地说充分就业允许的失业范畴为4%。
只有经济实现了充分就业,一国经济才能生产出潜在的GDP,从而使一国拥有更多的收入用于提高一国的福利水平。
(2)物价稳定,即把通胀率维持在低而稳定的水平上。
物价稳定是指一般物价水平(即总物价水平)的稳定;物价稳定并不是指通货膨胀率为零的状态,而是维持一种能为社会所接受的低而稳定的通货膨胀率的经济状态,一般指通货膨胀率为百分之十以下。
物价稳定可以防止经济的剧烈波动,防止各种扭曲对经济造成负面影响。
(3)经济增长是指保持合意的经济增长率。
经济增长是指单纯的生产增长,经济增长率并不是越高越好,经济增长的同时必须带来经济发展;经济增长率一般是用实际国民生产总值的年平均增长率来衡量的。
只有经济不断的增长,才能满足人类无限的欲望。
(4)国际收支平衡是指国际收支既无赤字又无盈余的状态。
国际收支平衡是一国对外经济目标,必须注意和国内目标的配合使用;正确处理国内目标与国际目标的矛盾。
在开放经济下,一国与他国来往日益密切,保持国际收支的基本平衡,才能使一国避免受到他国经济波动带来的负面影响。
3,题略答:a.石油价格大幅度上涨,作为一种不利的供给冲击,将会使增加企业的生产成本,从而使总供给减少,总供给曲线AS将向左上方移动。
b.一项削减国防开支的裁军协议,而与此同时,政府没有采取减税或者增加政府支出的政策,则将减少一国的总需求水平,从而使总需求曲线AD向左下方移动。
c.潜在产出水平的增加,将有效提高一国所能生产出的商品和劳务水平,从而使总供给曲线AS向右下方移动。

Assume that only two countries, A and B, exist.Consider the following data:CountriesFactor Endowments A BLabor Force 45 20Capital Stock 15 10If good S is capital intensive, then following the Heckscher-Ohlin Theory,(a) country A will export good S.(b) country B will export good S.(c) both countries will export good S.(d) trade will not occur between these two countries.(e) Insufficient information is given.Answer: B23. Continuing from Question #22, if you are told that Country B is very much richer thanCountry A, then the correct answer is:(a) country A will export good S.(b) country B will export good S.(c) both countries will export good S.(d) trade will not occur between these two countries.(e) insufficient information is given.Answer: B24. Continuing from Question #22, you are told that Country B is very much larger than countryA. The correct answer is:(a) country A will export good S.(b) country B will export good S.(c) both countries will export good S.(d) trade will not occur between these two countries.(e) insufficient information is given.Answer: B25. Continuing from Question #22, you are told that Country B has no minimum wage or childlabor laws. Now the correct answer is:(a) country A will export good S.(b) country B will export good S.(c) both countries will export good S.(d) trade will not occur between these two countries.(e) Insufficient information is given.Answer: B26. Continuing from Question #22, you now are told that the labor unions representing theworkers in each of the two respective countries are considering lobbying against the opening of international trade between these two countries. Note that workers’ income is derived solely from wages.(a) This would be a misguided decision from the viewpoint of the workers in both countries,since trade is always better than autarky.(b) This would be a good decision from the viewpoint of workers in Country A sinceinternational trade helps the capitalists and hurts the workers.(c) This would be a good decision from the viewpoint of workers in Country B sinceinternational trade helps the owners of capital and hurts the workers.(d) This would be a good decision for both unions since trade hurts workers wherever theylive.(e) None of the above.Answer: C27. We are now told that the information given us in Question #22 was not exactly accurate, andthat in fact S is relatively capital intensive only when relative wages are high, but becomesrelatively labor intensive when relative wages are low.

Hence, the relevant statistic is eitherworkers per acre (or acres per worker); or wage per rental unit (or rental per wage).In order to illustrate the logic of the statement above, let us assume that theproduction of a broom requires 4 workers and 1 acre. Also, let us assume that theproduction of one bushel of wheat requires 40 workers and 80 acres. In this case theacres per person required to produce a broom is one quarter, whereas to produce abushel of wheat requires 2 acres per person. The wheat is therefore (relatively) landintensive, and the broom is (relatively) labor intensive.2. “No country is abundant in everything.” Discuss.Answer: the concept of relative (country) factor abundance is (like factor intensities) a relative concept. When we identify a country as being capital intensive, we mean that it hasmore capital per worker than does the other country. If one country has more capitalworker than another, it is an arithmetic impossibility that it also has more workersper unit capital.3. There is frequently a conflict between short-term and long-term interests in trade. Discuss.Answer: In trade models, the short term is typically defined as that (conceptual) period of time in which both the technology and the amount of factors of production are givenand cannot be changed. When we state that free trade can be shown to be an optimalpolicy under certain circumstances, we mean that in the short run, this policy canbring a country to an optimum level of consumption. However, there is noinconsistency in the proposition that the optimum short run solution may not be thesolution, which maximizes the likelihood of economic expansion or growth (the longrun). For example, a policy which maximizes consumption may not take into accountinter-temporal preferences, and hence may “short-change” future generations (orthose who care for future generations).4. International trade leads to complete equalization of factor prices. Discuss.Answer: This statement is typically “true . . . but.” Under a strict and limited set ofassumptions, such as the original Heckscher-Ohlin model which excludes countryspecific technologies; non- homothetic tastes; factor intensity reversals; large countrydifferences in (relative) factor abundances, more factors than goods, and anequilibrium solution within the “cone of specialization”; then it may be demonstratedthat internal consistency demands that the above stated sentence is “true.” However,the minute one relaxes any of the above listed assumptions one may easily identifysolutions, which contradict the factor price equalization theorem.5. Countries that are willing to tolerate an unusually high quantity of pollution relative to theirsupplies of other factors would tend to export “pollution-intensive” goods. Discuss using the Hechscher-Ohlin (H.O.) model.Answer: This statement is badly crafted. It seems to imply that pollution per say is a proper factor of production. That is, just as if you add a worker, you get additional product,so the marginal product of pollution is positive. The problem here is that pollution isnot reallya factor of production, but rather an externality, which may be more typical ofimported goods than exported ones. In such a case, the statement above is false.6. Countries do not in fact export the goods the H.O. theory predicts. Discuss.Answer: This statement is not true. Although one may find many cases where it seems to be true (e.g. the Leontieff Paradox), all one needs to do in order to render the abovestatement not (generally) true is to find one counter example. In fact, one can findlarge subsets of agricultural and commodity products in which the H.O predictionsare generally fulfilled. Labor-intensive countries such as Bangladesh do in factexport relatively labor-intensive goods. Capital-intensive countries such as Germanydo in fact export capital-intensive products (at least to South countries). Countriessuch as Costa Rica (“sunshine abundant”) tend to export bananas(sunshine-intensive products). The U.S. (a wheat-land-abundant country) doesindeed export wheat (a wheat-land intensive product). In fact, since the early 1980s,the Leontieff Paradox was not found to describe the U.S. trade data (hence ratifyingthe H.O. theory).7. Why is the H.O. model called the factor-proportions theory?Answer: The H.O. model explores the nature and the limitations of assuming that the sole determinant of comparative advantage is inter-country differences in (relative)factor proportions.8. Why do we observe the Leontief paradox?Answer: There are many possible answers. They may be classified into three groups. One would argue that the model, or theory is wrong. The other would argue that thetheory is correct (internally consistent and descriptive of real world data), but thereal world data is incorrectly perceived, defined or measured. The third would arguethat the statement itself is wrong, and that in fact the Leontieff paradox itself is notactually observed, but rather is due to faulty logical rendering of the original model.。

The money demand curve is downward sloping (with the interest rate on the vertical axis). It is assumed that money pays no interest. At the same time, individuals earn interest when they hold bonds. So, as the interest rate increases, individuals are more willing to incur the costs associated with converting bonds to money when they wish to buy goods. So, an increase in the interest rate causes a reduction in money demand. Money demand depends on the level of transactions and on the interest rate. As the level of transactions increases, individuals will increase money demand. Assuming that nominal income is correlated with nominal transactions, an increase in nominal income will cause an increase in money demand and shifts in the curve.2. Central banks have two options to reduce the interest rate: a central bank purchase of bonds or a reduction in the required reserve ratio. Both policies result in an increase in the money supply and a reduction in the interest rate.3. An increase in income will cause an increase in transactions and an increase in money demand. The money demand curve will shift to the right causing an excess demand for money and excess demand for bonds. The interest rate will rise to restore money market equilibrium. There is no change in money supply as a result of this.4. A Fed purchase of bonds will cause an increase in H and an increase in the money supply. At the initial interest rate, there will be an excess supply of money. The interest rate will fall to restore money market equilibrium. All else fixed, there will be no change in money demand.5. A Fed purchase of bonds will cause an increase in the supply of central bank money. To restore equilibrium in this market, the interest rate will have to fall. As it does, the quantity demanded for central bank money will rise and, therefore, restore equilibrium.6. An increase in the parameter θ will cause an increase in banks' demand for reserves and, therefore, an increase in the demand for central bank money. This will cause an excess demand for central bank money at the initial interest rate. In this case, the interest rate will rise to restore equilibrium.7. Interest rate. A reduction in the interest rate will cause an increase in money demand (movement along the demand curve). This will cause an increase in the demand for currency that will cause an increase in the demand for central bank money. The increase in the demand for money will also cause an increase in the demand for deposits and, therefore, an increase in banks' demand for reserves. This will also cause an increase in the demand for central bank money. In this case, we only move along the demand curve.Real income. An increase in Y will cause an increase in money demand and, as described above, an indirect increase in the demand for currency and reserves. So, this increase in Y will cause an increase in the demand for central bank money and a shift in the curve.8. The Fed has three tools: discount rate, open market operations, and the reserve ratio. An open market sale or purchase will cause a change in H and M. This will in turn cause a change in the money supply. A change in the required reserve ratio will cause a change in the money multiplier and, therefore, the money supply. When the money supply changes, the interest rate will change. Changes in the discount rate do not directly cause changes in the money supply.9. The money multiplier represents the effect of a given change in high powered money on the money supply. The money multiplier will be affected by changes in two parameters: c and θ. An increase in either parameter will causea reduction in the money multiplier.10. The reduction in income will cause a reduction in money demand, a leftward shift in the money demand curve, and a reduction in the interest rate. To prevent the drop in the interest rate, the central bank could pursue an open market sale of securities (to reduce the money supply) or it could increase the required reserve ratio (which would also reduce the money supply).。

Chapter 4Consumer and Firm Behavior: The Work-Leisure Decision and Profit MaximizationTeaching GoalsThe microeconomic approach to macroeconomics stresses the notion that economy-wide events are the result of decisions made by individuals. People work so that they may afford to buy market goods. On the other hand, people generally prefer to work less rather than working more. Although discussions in the popular press often refer to the idea that spending is what drives the economy, an economy cannot produce unless people are willing to work. Therefore, the most basic macroeconomic decision is the decision to choose whether, and how much, to work. Production and willingness to work are intrinsically interconnected.Students often believe that how much a person works is largely determined by the necessities of their circumstances. Students will report that they have to work to survive and pay tuition. Some might point out that some students need not work much or at all because their parents provide more support. However, circumstances need not dictate exactly how much they may choose to work. They may work less if they go to a less costly school. They may sometimes decide to switch to part-time student status and full-time work status if they find a high-paying job. A key message of this chapter is that choice is important and that choice is influenced by changes in circumstances.This chapter demands the mastery of a large body of structure and yet provides little in the way of immediate insights. Students may need frequent assurances that the mastery of this material eventually pays big dividends in providing hope of understanding the phenomenon of business cycles. This is particularly important as this chapter lays critical foundations for the rest of the book: the use of microfoundations in macroeconomics. Students need to be able to justify macroeconomic relationships with microeconomic arguments, like in this chapter. This requires to some extend some boring drills that they will come to appreciate only later. If for many textbooks the strategy is to teach one chapter a week, spend more time on this one, especially if students have not yet mastered intermediate microeconomics. Two key points of this chapter are the concepts of income and substitution effects. Often, students are perplexed at the amount of time spent on this material because nothing in practice is purely an income effect or a substitution effect. However, the two most basic insights of microeconomic analysis are that when we become more well-off we generally want more of everything and that we respond to price incentives at the margin.Classroom Discussion TopicsAsk the students about their work choices and the choices of their parents, friends, and relatives. Does everyone work? Does everyone work the same amount of hours? Then ask the students for examples of the kinds of factors that lead people to work more or less. Try to elicit very specific examples. Thenask the students to categorize these factors that lead to more or less work. Some of these factors are actually the by-products of more complex decision making. For example, if they say that they work more or less because they go to school, point out that going to school is a choice. They may also point to28 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Editioncircumstances like whether a married couple has children, and if so, their number and their ages. Point out that these events are also the results of other choices. Then ask the students to try to categorize the remaining factors as being primarily an income effect or a substitution effect. Compare also labor choices across countries, as the Macroeconomics in Action feature, new to the third edition, does.Ask the students to provide examples of factors other than more labor or capital that can allow some countries to be a lot more productive than others. What factors other than growth in capital and labor allow a given economy to produce more (or less) over time? Explain that these are the kinds of factors that we summarize by the concept of total factor productivity. Insist also on the concept of physical capital and what it measures and what it is not.OutlineI. The Representative ConsumerA. Preferences1. Goods: The Consumption Good and Leisure2.

Profits = Total Revenue − Total Variable Costs2. Marginal Product of Labor = Real Wage3. Labor DemandTextbook Question SolutionsQuestions for Review1. Consumers consume an aggregate consumption good and leisure.2. Consumers’ preferences are summarized in a utility function.3. The first property is that more is always preferred to less. This property assures us that a consumptionbundle with more of one good and no less of the other good than any second bundle will always be preferred to the second bundle.The second property is that a consumer likes diversity in his or her consumption bundle. Thisproperty assures us that a linear combination of two consumption bundles will always be preferred to the two original bundles.The third property is that both consumption and leisure are normal goods. This property assures us that an increase in a consumer’s income will always induce the individual to consume more of both consumption and leisure.4. The first property of indifference curves is that they are downward sloping. This property is a directconsequence of the property that more is always preferred to less. The second property ofindifference curves is that they are bowed toward the origin. This property is a direct consequence of consumers’ preference for diversity.5. Consumers maximize the amount of utility they can derive from their given amount of availableresources.6. The optimal bundle has the property that it represents a point of tangency of the budget line with anindifference curve. An equivalent property is that the marginal rate of substitution of leisure forconsumption and leisure is equal to the real wage.7. In response to an increase in dividend income, the consumer will consume more goods and moreleisure.8. In response to an increase in the real value of a lump-sum tax, the consumer will consume less goodsand less leisure.9. An increase in the real wage makes the consumer more well off. As a result of this pure incomeeffect, the consumer wants more leisure. Alternatively, the increase in the real wage induces asubstitution effect in which the consumer is willing to consume less leisure in exchange for working more hours (consuming less leisure). The net effect of these two competing forces is theoretically ambiguous.10. The representative firm seeks to maximize profits.30 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition11. As the amount of labor is increased, holding the amount of capital constant, each worker gets asmaller share of the fixed amount of capital, and there is a reduction in each worker’s marginalproductivity.12. An increase in total factor productivity shifts the production function upward.13. The representative firm’s profit is equal to its production (revenue measured in units of goods) minusits variable labor costs (the real wage times the amount of labor input). A unit increase in labor input adds the marginal product of labor to revenue and adds the real wage to labor costs. The amount of labor demand is that amount of labor input that equates marginal revenue with marginal labor costs.This quantity of labor, labor demand, can simply be read off the marginal product of labor schedule.Problems1. Consider the two hypothetical indifference curves in the figure below. Point A is on both indifferencecurves, I1 and I2. By construction, the consumer is indifferent between A and B, as both points are onI 2. In like fashion, the consumer is indifferent between A and C, as both points are on I1. But atpoint C, the consumer has more consumption and more leisure than at point B. As long as the consumer prefers more to less, he or she must strictly prefer C to A. We therefore contradict the hypothesis that two indifference curves can cross.Chapter 4 Consumer and Firm Behavior: The Work-Leisure Decision and Profit Maximization 312. u al bC =+(a) To specify an indifference curve, we hold utility constant at u . Next rearrange in the form:u a C l b b=− Indifference curves are therefore linear with slope, −a /b , which represents the marginal rate ofsubstitution. There are two main cases, according to whether /a b w > or /.a b w < The top panelof the left figure below shows the case of /.a b w < In this case the indifference curves are flatterthan the budget line and the consumer picks point A, at which 0l = and .C wh T π=+− Theright figure shows the case of /.a b w > In this case the indifference curves are steeper than thebudget line, and the consumer picks point B, at which l h = and .C T π=− In the coincidentalcase in which /,a b w = the highest attainable indifference curve coincides with the indifference curve, and the consumer is indifferent among all possible amounts of leisure and hours worked.(b) The utility function in this problem does not obey the property that the consumer prefersdiversity, and is therefore not a likely possibility.(c) This utility function does have the property that more is preferred to less. However, the marginalrate of substitution is constant, and therefore this utility function does not satisfy the property ofdiminishing marginal rate of substitution.32 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition3. When the government imposes a proportional tax on wage income, the consumer’s budget constraintis now given by:(1)(),C w t h l T π=−−+−where t is the tax rate on wage income. In the figure below, the budget constraint for t = 0, is FGH.When t > 0, the budget constraint is EGH. The slope of the original budget line is –w , while the slope of the new budget line is –(1 – t )w . Initially the consumer picks the point A on the original budget line. After the tax has been imposed, the consumer picks point B. The substitution effect of theimposition of the tax is to move the consumer from point A to point D on the original indifference curve. The point D is at the tangent point of indifference curve, I 1, with a line segment that is parallel to EG. The pure substitution effect induces the consumer to reduce consumption and increase leisure (work less).The tax also makes the consumer worse off, in that he or she can no longer be on indifference curve,I 1, but must move to the less preferred indifference curve, I 2. This pure income effect moves the consumer to point B, which has less consumption and less leisure than point D, because bothconsumption and leisure are normal goods. The net effect of the tax is to reduce consumption, but the direction of the net effect on leisure is ambiguous. The figure shows the case in which the substitution effect on leisure dominates the income effect. In this case, leisure increases and hours worked fall. Although consumption must fall, hours worked may rise, fall, or remain the same.4. The increase in dividend income shifts the budget line upward. The reduction in the wage rate flattensthe budget line. One possibility is depicted in the figures below. The original budget constraint HGL shifts to HFE. There are two income effects in this case. The increase in dividend income is a positive income effect. The reduction in the wage rate is a negative income effect. The drawing in the topfigure shows the case where these two income effects exactly cancel out. In this case we are left with a pure substitution effect that moves the consumer from point A to point B. Therefore, consumption falls and leisure increases. As leisure increases, hours of work must fall. The middle figure shows a case in which the increase in dividend income, the distance GF, is larger and so the income effect is positive. The consumer winds up on a higher indifference curve, leisure unambiguously increases,Chapter 4 Consumer and Firm Behavior: The Work-Leisure Decision and Profit Maximization 33 and consumption may either increase or decrease. The bottom figure shows a case in which the increase in dividend income, the distance GF, is smaller and so the income effect is negative. The consumer winds up on a lower indifference curve, consumption unambiguously decreases, and leisure may either increase or decrease.34 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition5. This problem introduces a higher, overtime wage for hours worked above a threshold, q . Thisproblem also abstracts from any dividend income and taxes.(a) The budget constraint is now EJG in the figure below. The budget constraint is steeper for levels ofleisure less than h – q , because of the higher overtime wage. The figure depicts possible choices for two different consumers. Consumer #1 picks point A on her indifference curve, I 1. Consumer #2 picks point B on his indifference curve, I 2. Consumer #1 chooses to work overtime; consumer #2 does not.(b) The geometry of the figure above makes it clear that it would be very difficult to have anindifference curve tangent to EJG close to point J. In order for this to happen, an indifferencecurve would need to be close to right angled as in the case of pure complement. It is unlikely that consumers wish to consume goods and leisure in fixed proportions, and so points like A and Bare more typical. For any other allowable shape for the indifference curve, it is impossible forpoint J to be chosen.(c) An increase in the overtime wage steepens segment EJ of the budget constraint, but has no effecton the segment JG. For an individual like consumer #2, the increase in the overtime wage has no effect up until the point at which the increase is large enough to shift the individual to a point like point A. Consumer #2 receives no income effect because the income effect arises out of a higher wage rate on inframarginal units of work. An individual like consumer #1 has the traditionalincome and substitution effects of a wage increase. Consumer #1 increases her consumption, but may either increase or reduce hours of work according to whether the income effect outweighsthe substitution effect.Chapter 4 Consumer and Firm Behavior: The Work-Leisure Decision and Profit Maximization 356. Lump-sum Tax vs. Proportional Tax. Suppose that we start with a proportional tax. Under theproportional tax the consumer’s budget line is EFH in the figure below. The consumer choosesconsumption, *,C and leisure, *,l at point A on indifference curve I 1. A shift to a lump-sum tax steepens the budget line. The absolute value of the slope of the budget line is (1),t w − and t has fallen to zero. The imposition of the lump-sum tax shifts the budget line downward in a parallel fashion. By construction, the lump-sum tax must raise the same amount of revenue as the proportional tax. The consumer must therefore be able to continue to consume *C of the consumption good and *l ofleisure after the change in tax collection. Therefore, the new budget line must also pass through pointA. The new budget line is labeled LGH in the figure below. With the lump-sum tax, the consumer can do better by choosing point B, on the higher indifference curve, I 2. Therefore, the consumer is clearly better off. We are also assured that consumption will be greater at point B than at point A, and that leisure will be smaller at point B than at point A.7. Leisure represents all time used for nonmarket activities. If the government is now providing forsome of those, like providing free child care, households will take advantage of such a program,thereby allowing more time for other activities, including market work. Concretely, this translates in a change of preferences for households. For the same amount of consumption, they are now willing to work more, or in other words, they are willing to forego some additional leisure. On the figure below, the new indifference curve is labeled I 2. It can cross indifference curve I 1 because preferences, as we measure them here, have changed. The equilibrium basket of goods for the household now shifts from A to B. This leads to reduced leisure (from l *1 to l *2), and thus increased hours worked, and increased consumption (from C *1 to C *2) thanks to higher labor income at the fixed wage.36 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition8. The firm chooses its labor input, N d , so as to maximize profits. When there is no tax, profits for thefirm are given by(,).d d zF K N wN π=−That is, profits are the difference between revenue and costs.

In the top figure below, the tax acts to shift down the revenue function for the firm and reduces the slope of the revenue function. As before, the firm will maximize profits by choosing the quantity of labor input where the slope of the revenue function is equal to the slope of the cost function, but the slope of the revenue function is (1),N t MP − so the firm chooses the quantity of labor where(1).N t MP w −=In the bottom figure below, the labor demand curve is now (1),N t MP − and the labor demand curve has shifted down. The tax acts to reduce the after-tax marginal product of labor, and the firm will hire less labor at any given real wage.9. The firm chooses its labor input N dso as to maximize profits. When there is no subsidy, profits forthe firm are given by (,).d d zF K N wN π=−That is, profits are the difference between revenue and costs. In the top figure on the following page the revenue function is (,)d zF K N and the cost function is the straight line, wN d . The firm maximizes profits by choosing the quantity of labor where the slope of the revenue function equals the slope of the cost function:.N MP w =The firm’s demand for labor curve is the marginal product of labor schedule in the bottom figure below.With an employment subsidy, the firm’s profits are given by:(,)()d d zF K N w s N π=−−where the term (,)d zF K N is the unchanged revenue function, and (w – s )N d is the cost function. The subsidy acts to reduce the cost of each unit of labor by the amount of the subsidy, s . In the top figure below, the subsidy acts to shift down the cost function for the firm by reducing its slope. As before, the firm will maximize profits by choosing the quantity of labor input where the slope of the revenue function is equal to the slope of the cost function, (t – s ), so the firm chooses the quantity of labor where.N MP w s =−In the bottom figure below, the labor demand curve is now ,N MP s + and the labor demand curve has shifted up. The subsidy acts to reduce the marginal cost of labor, and the firm will hire more labor at any given real wage.10. Minimum Employment Requirement. Below *,N no output is produced. Thereafter, the production function has its usual properties. Such a production function is reproduced in the first two figures below. At high wages, the firm’s cost curve is entirely above the revenue curve, so the firm hires no labor, to prevent incurring losses. Only if the wage rate is less than ˆw will the firms choose to hire anyone. At ˆ,N just as it would in the absence of the constraint. Below ˆ,w w w=the firm chooses*,the labor demand curve is unaffected. The labor demand curve is reproduced in the bottom figure.11.

The slope of this production possibilities frontier is simply .N MP −12. As the firm has to internalize the pollution, it realizes that labor is less effective than it previouslythought. It now needs to hire N (1 + x ) workers where N were previously sufficient. This is qualitatively equivalent to a reduction of z , total factor productivity. The figure below highlights the resulting outcome: the firm now hires fewer people for a given wage and thus its labor demand is reduced.13. 0.30.7Y zK n =(a) 0.7.Y n = See the top figure below.

具体来说,投资曲线或储蓄曲线的斜率越小,IS曲线的斜率也越小,即IS曲线越平坦。
IS曲线的斜率还取决于b与d。
b是边际消费倾向,如果b较大,IS曲线的斜率也会较小。
d是投资需求对于利率变动的反应程度,它表示利率变动一定幅度时投资变动的程度,如果d的值较大,即投资对于利率变化比较敏感,IS曲线的斜率就较小,即IS曲线较平缓。
在三部门经济中,由于存在税收和政府支出,IS曲线的斜率除了和d及b有关外,还和税率t的大小有关;当d和b一定时,税率t 越小,IS曲线越平缓;t越大,IS曲线会越陡峭。
2.答:LM曲线的特征主要体现在其倾斜状况和位置方面。
反映LM曲线倾斜状况的参数就是LM曲线的斜率,从前面表达式中可见LM曲线的斜率为kh。
(1)货币需求对收入越敏感,即k越大,LM 曲线越陡直;当货币需求对收入不敏感时,即k越小,LM曲线越平坦。
容易理解,当货币需求对收入比较敏感时,较小的收入变动会引起交易和预防动机货币需求较大的变化,在货币供给给定时,利率变动较大,则LM曲线比较陡直。
进一步,当货币需求对收入不太敏感时,要想使利率出现给定的变化,需要收入较大变化才能带来一定的货币需求变化,影响到利率。

W e can see this in the impulse response diagrams shown previously. The overshooting is caused by the investors’ adjustment of exchange rate expectations coupled with lower domestic interest rates. Since the rupees in-terest rate falls, investors must be compensated by a rupee appreciation for UIP with U.S. interest rate to hold. For a rupee appreciation to be possible, it must depreciate more in the short run than its longer-run value.Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Run S-25M IN P IN i RsT T nE Rs/$M IN /P IN M IN /P IN11223.Is overshooting (in theory and in practice) consistent with purchasing power parity?Consider the reasons for the usefulness of PPP in the short run versus the long run and the assumption we’ve used in the asset approach (in the short run versus the long run). How does overshooting help to resolve the empirical behavior of exchange rates in the short run versus the long run?Answer:Y es, overshooting is consistent with PPP. Investors forecast the expected ex-change rate based on the theory of PPP.When there is some change in the market, the investors know the exchange rate will change to equate relative prices in the long run.This is why we observe overshooting in the short run—the investors incorporate this information into their short-run forecasts. Exchange rates are volatile in the short run.The theory’s implication that there is exchange rate overshooting (in response to per-manent shocks) is one explanation for short-run volatility in exchange rates.e the money market and foreign exchange (FX) diagrams to answer the followingquestions.

Using a new dia-gram, illustrate how this change affects the money and FX markets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilibrium point C.Answer:See the following diagram. In the long run, the price level will have to increase to adjust for the drop in real money demand (assuming the central bank does not change the money supply, M). That is, the nominal interest rate returns to its initial value in the long run. This requires that the price level increase to reduce real money supply. The drop in real money demand will have to be met one-for-one with a drop in real money supply (generated by an increase in the price level). In this case, the expected exchange rate changes because the shock is permanent.

I n this case, interest rates on won-denominated deposits don’t change because the Bank of Korea doesn’t cut themoney supply. However, because investors expected the Bank of Korea to cut themoney supply, they expect the won will appreciate relative to the yen, causing adecrease in the return on yen-denominated deposits in the short run.

This question considers how different countries responded to the East Asian Currency Crisis (1997–1998).For the following questions, treat the East Asian country as the home country and the United States as the foreign country. Also, for the diagrams, you may assume these countries maintained a currency peg (fixed rate) relative to the U.S. dollar. Also, for the following questions, you need consider only the short-run effects.a.In July 1997, investors expected that the Thai baht would depreciate. That is, theyexpected that Thailand’s central bank would be unable to maintain the currency peg with the U.S. dollar. Illustrate how this change in investors’ expectations af-fects the Thai money market and the FX market, with the exchange rate defined as baht (B) per U.S. dollar, denoted E B/$. Assume the Thai central bank wants to maintain capital mobility and preserve the level of its interest rate and abandons the currency peg in favor of a floating exchange rate regime.Answer:If Thailand is willing to let its currency float against the dollar, thenThailand’s central bank can maintain monetary policy autonomy and interna-tional capital mobility.

As-sume the Indonesian central bank wants to maintain capital mobility and the cur-rency peg.Answer: If Indonesia wants to maintain the currency peg against the dollar andmaintain international capital mobility, it will have to give up monetary policyautonomy. In this case, Indonesia has to increase the domestic interest rate to keepinvestors from dumping their rupiah-denominated deposits for U.S. dollars andmove their investments out of Indonesia (this would then cause a depreciation inthe rupiah).i rup i 1rup i 2rup 1rup 2rupM 1I / P 1I M 2I / P 1I 12FR E 1E rupiah/$2c.Malaysia had a similar experience, except that it used capital controls to maintainits currency peg and preserve the level of its interest rate. Illustrate how this change in investors’ expectations affects the Malaysian money market and the FX market,with the exchange rate defined as ringgit (RM) per U.S. dollar, denoted E RM/$. Y ou need show only the short-run effects of this change in investors’ expectations.Answer:See the following diagram. In the absence of capital controls Malaysian interest rate would have to rise. However, by preventing investors from taking ad-vantage of arbitrage, Malaysia creates a disequilibrium. The investors require i 2RM to keep their deposits in Malaysia, but they only receive i 1RM . Because of the cap-ital controls imposed by Malaysia, investors cannot withdraw their ringgit-denominated deposits (selling ringgit in exchange for dollars in the FX market).n effect, the foreign market equilibrium diagram shown below does notwork/exist. This allows Malaysia to maintain monetary policy autonomy and a fixed exchange rate at the same time.Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short RunS-31i RM i 1RM i 2RM 1RM 2RM M 1M / P 1M 12E 1E RM/$pare and contrast the three approaches just outlined. As a policy maker,which would you favor? Explain.Answer: There is no “correct” answer to this question. The cases above highlight the trilemma because each country can choose a different option depending on their domestic or international priorities. They need to compare the benefits of having any two of (a) fixed exchange rates, (b) monetary autonomy, and (c) in-ternational capital mobility against the cost of not having the third one.7.Several countries have opted to join currency unions. Examples include the Euroarea, the CFA franc union in W est Africa, and the Caribbean currency union. This in-volves sacrificing the domestic currency in favor of using a single currency unit in multiple countries. Assuming that once a country joins a currency union it will not leave, do these countries face the policy trilemma discussed in the text? Explain.Answer: These countries do face the trilemma because they are committed to main-taining the first policy goal of a fixed exchange rate. Joining a currency union effec-tively means a country has a fixed exchange rate without the need for government intervention because the money supply is controlled by a regional central bank for member countries. This effectively reduces the choice to a dilemma between mone-tary policy autonomy versus international capital mobility. T ypically, countries that are parts of a currency union sacrifice monetary policy autonomy; policy decisions are made jointly rather than independently.S-32Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Run8.During the Great Depression, the United States remained on the international goldstandard longer than other countries. This effectively meant that the United States wascommitted to maintaining a fixed exchange rate at the onset of the Great Depression.The U.S. dollar was pegged to the value of gold along with other major currencies,including the British pound, the French franc, and so on. Many researchers haveblamed the severity of the Great Depression on the Federal Reserve and its failure toreact to economic conditions in 1929 and 1930. Discuss how the policy trilemma ap-plies to this situation.Answer: The United States was committed to the fixed exchange rate with gold;consequently, policy makers had to sacrifice either monetary policy autonomy or cap-ital mobility, just as the trilemma suggests. Based on the information given in thequestion, we can assume that the policy did not respond to the U.S. business cycle(policy makers did not exercise monetary policy autonomy). Thus, if we assume in-ternational capital mobility, the United States could not react to the business cyclewith a monetary expansion until it abandoned the gold standard.9.On June 20, 2007, John Authers, investment editor of the Financial Times,wrote thefollowing in his column “The Short View”:The Bank of England published minutes showing that only the narrowest pos-sible margin, 5–4, voted down [an interest] rate hike last month. Nobody fore-saw this. . . . The news took sterling back above $1.99, and to a 15-year highagainst the yen.Can you explain the logic of this statement? Interest rates in the United Kingdomhad remained unchanged in the weeks since the vote and were still unchanged afterthe minutes were released. What news was contained in the minutes that causedtraders to react? Use the asset approach.Answer: The news item indicates that investors did not expect the decision to leaveinterest rates unchanged would be divisive. They thought that any increases in inter-est rates would happen further in the future. Higher interest rates would lead to anappreciation in the pound sterling. When the minutes showed that interest rate in-creases were more likely than previously thought, investors came to expect an appre-ciation sooner rather than later. This caused an appreciation in the current spot ex-change rate.10.W e can use the asset approach to both make predictions about how the market willreact to current events and understand how important these events are to investors.Consider the behavior of the Union/Confederate exchange rate during the CivilW ar. How would each of the following events affect the exchange rate, defined as?Confederate dollars per Union dollar, EC$/$a.The Confederacy increases the money supply by 2,900% between July and De-cember of 1861.Answer: The Confederate money supply increases, the exchange rate increases,and the Confederate dollar depreciates.b.The Union Army suffers a defeat in Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863.Answer: Appreciation in the Confederate dollar is expected because a militaryvictory means a stable economy and monetary policy, implying decreased uncer-tainty and risk, the exchange rate decreases, and the Confederate dollar appreci-ates.c.The Confederate Army suffers a major defeat with Sherman’s March in the au-tumn of 1864.Answer: Just the opposite of (b) above: depreciation in the Confederate dollar isexpected because of military defeat increases economic and monetary uncertaintyand risk; the exchange rate increases, and the Confederate dollar depreciates.。

T o see the implications for net factor income, note NFIA ϭ GNI ϪGDP .Therefore, if GNI /GDP Ͼ 1, then GNI Ͼ GDP , and NFIA Ͼ 0. Similarly, if GNI /GDP Ͻ 1, then NFIA Ͻ 0. There are a few major differences in the rankings. A country with a high GDP ranking but low GNI ranking is likely to have a negative NFIA, and vice versa. Notice that Ireland is ranked 4th in GDP ,but 13th in GNI per person. Indeed, a significant portion of Ireland’s production is due to foreign factors of production and its NFIA Ͻ0. A similar situation holds for Australia, although to a lesser degree, whose rank in terms of GDP (9th) is higher than its GNI rank (12th). Both Switzerland and the United Kingdom are in the op-posite situation. Each country has a higher GNI ranking (United Kingdom—7th,Switzerland—4th) than G DP ranking (United Kingdom—13th, Denmark—5th).Both countries export more factors of production than they import, so NFIA Ͼ0.2.Note the following accounting identity for gross national income (GNI):GNI ϭ C ϩ I ϩ G ϩ TB ϩ NFIAUsing this expression, show that in a closed economy, gross domestic product (GDP),gross national income (GNI), gross national expenditures (GNE) are the same.

Do international transactions account for a large share of totaltransactions (involving goods and services, or income) involving the United States?Answer:Based on calculations above, we see that G DP ϭ$14,720 billion,whereas the trade balance accounts for slightly less than 5% (TB ϭϪ$702 bil-lion). Similarly, if we compare the share of GNI ($14,841 billion) that is attrib-uted to the current account (CA ϭ$681 billion), we can see that internationaltransactions account for a relatively small share (about 4.5%) of U.S. income.Therefore, the assumption of a closed economy is not too problematic.S-40Solutions ■Chapter 5(16) National and International Accounts7.During the 1980s, the United States experienced “twin deficits” in the current ac-count and government budget. Since 1998, the U.S. current account deficit has grown steadily, along with rising government budget deficits. Do government bud-get deficits lead to current account deficits? Identify other possible sources of the cur-rent account deficits. Do current account deficits necessarily indicate problems in the economy?Answer:“T win deficits” are possible, but there are other factors that influence the current account. Since 1998, the decline in the current account has been associated with movements in investment and national savings. Note the following expression from the textbook:CA ϭ S P ϩS G ϪIIt is not clear that budget deficits cause current account deficits. There are two pos-sibilities besides a budget deficit (S G Ͻ 0):• Private savings (S P ) may change when the government changes taxes (e.g., tax rates). Suppose tax rates decrease, causing a decrease in government saving. Ac-cording to Ricardian equivalence, households will respond to a tax cut today by increasing savings in anticipation of a future tax increase needed to finance the current budget deficit. This implies private savings will increase, possibly offset-ting the effect on national saving.• The current account may move independently of saving, namely because of changes in investment (I ). An increase in domestic investment opportunities could lead to current account deficits.8.Consider the economy of Opulenza. In Opulenza, domestic investment of $400 mil-lion earned $20 million in capital gains during 2012. Opulenzans purchased $120million in new foreign assets during the year; foreigners purchased $160 million in Opulenzan assets. Assume the valuation effects total $1 million in capital gains.Note that we need to assume a value for the capital account. W e will assume KA ϭ0 in the following transactions.pute the change in domestic wealth in Opulenza.Answer:The change in domestic wealth is the sum of additions to the capital stock plus capital gains earned on domestic assets:Change in domestic wealth ϭ I ϩ Capital gains on K ϭ $400ϩ $20ϭ $420millionpute the change in external wealth for Opulenza.Answer:The change in external wealth is:∆W ϭ V aluation effects ϩ (ϪFA )ϭ $1 Ϫ($160 Ϫ$120)ϭ –$39 millionpute the total change in wealth for Opulenza.Answer:The change in total wealth is:Change in total wealth ϭ Change in domestic wealth ϩChange in external wealth ϭ $420ϩ (Ϫ$39)ϭ $381 millionpute domestic savings for Opulenza.Answer:T o calculate national savings, note that the change in total wealth is:Change in total wealth ϭ S ϩ KA ϩ Capital gains on K ϩ Capital gains on (A ϪL )$381ϭ S ϩ $0ϩ ($20ϩ $1)S ϭ $360 millionSolutions ■Chapter 5(16) National and International Accounts S-41pute Opulenza’s current account. Is the CA in deficit or surplus?Answer: Using the current account identity: Sϭ Iϩ CA:Sϭ Iϩ CA$360ϭ $400ϩ CACAϭ Ϫ$40 millionOr, we could use the definition of the change in total wealth:Change total wealthϭ Iϩ (CAϩ KA)ϩ Capital gains on Kϩ Capital gainson (AϪL)$381ϭ $400ϩ CAϩ $0ϩ $20ϩ $1CAϭ Ϫ$40 millionf.Explain the intuition for the CA deficit/surplus in terms of savings in Opulenza,financial flows, and its domestic/external wealth position.Answer: W e see that Opulenza experienced a $420 million increase in its do-mestic wealth while losing $39 million in external wealth. Opulenza's investmentis $400 million of which $360 million was financed through domestic savingsand $40 million from foreign borrowings, which equals the current accountdeficit. The increase in domestic wealth is in addition (to the investment of $400million) because of capital gains on domestic investment of $20 million. The de-crease in external wealth of only $39 million instead of $40 million is due to itscapital gains on foreign wealth of $1 million.g.How would a depreciation in Opulenza’s currency affect its domestic, external,and total wealth? Assume that foreign assets owned by Opulenzans are denomi-nated in foreign currency.Answer:The answer to this question depends on how Opulenzan external as-sets and external liabilities are denominated. Since all its foreign assets are in for-eign currency a depreciation increases the value of its foreign assets and there isa valuation gain. If its liabilities are denominated in its own currency, then a de-preciation does not affect its domestic currency value of liabilities. On the otherhand, if its liabilities are also in foreign currency, then a depreciation has a nega-tive valuation effect. The overall valuation effect will thus depend on the relativemagnitude and currency composition of its liabilities.9.This question asks you to compute valuation effects for the United States in 2004using the same methods mentioned in the chapter. Use the website to col-lect the data needed for this question: look under the “International” heading.Visit the BEA’s balance of payments data page and obtain the U.S. balance of pay-ments for 2004 in billions of dollars. Be sure to get the correct year, and annual data,not quarterly.Visit the BEA's net international investment position data page and obtain the U.S.net international investment position for end 2003 to end 2004.Answers may vary based on data revisions.

Is it close tothe BEA figure in part (f)?Answer:Based on the previous answers, the valuation effects associated with ex-change rate changes are equal to $447,907 million (ϭ$496,827 Ϫ$48,919). Thisis far larger than the estimate from the BEA ($194,037).。

Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equi-librium point C .Answer:See the following diagram. Thick arrows indicate temporary movementwhile thinner ones indicate the movements in the long run. In the short run,prices are fixed. Therefore the real money supply changes from MS 1to MS 2, thustemporarily lowering the domestic interest rate. In the long run, as prices rise,the real money supply and interest rate return to their original level. In the for-eign exchange market, FR shifts to the right and stays there permanently becauseof an expected depreciation of rupees.S-24Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Runi Rs i 1Rs i 2Rs1Rs2Rs12E 1E 2E 3M 2INP 2IN E Rs/$M 1IN P 1IN M 2IN P 1INb.

W e can see this in the impulse response diagrams shown previously. The overshooting is caused by the investors’ adjustment of exchange rate expectations coupled with lower domestic interest rates. Since the rupees in-terest rate falls, investors must be compensated by a rupee appreciation for UIP with U.S. interest rate to hold. For a rupee appreciation to be possible, it must depreciate more in the short run than its longer-run value.Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Run S-25M IN P IN i RsT T nE Rs/$M IN /P IN M IN /P IN11223.Is overshooting (in theory and in practice) consistent with purchasing power parity?Consider the reasons for the usefulness of PPP in the short run versus the long run and the assumption we’ve used in the asset approach (in the short run versus the long run). How does overshooting help to resolve the empirical behavior of exchange rates in the short run versus the long run?Answer:Y es, overshooting is consistent with PPP. Investors forecast the expected ex-change rate based on the theory of PPP.When there is some change in the market, the investors know the exchange rate will change to equate relative prices in the long run.This is why we observe overshooting in the short run—the investors incorporate this information into their short-run forecasts. Exchange rates are volatile in the short run.The theory’s implication that there is exchange rate overshooting (in response to per-manent shocks) is one explanation for short-run volatility in exchange rates.e the money market and foreign exchange (FX) diagrams to answer the followingquestions. This question considers the relationship between the euro (€) and the U.S.dollar ($). The exchange rate is in U.S. dollars per euro, E$/€.

Using the FX andmoney market diagrams, illustrate how this change affects the money and FXmarkets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilib-rium point C.Answer: See the following diagram. The long-run values are the same as the ini-tial values because the shock is temporary. Also because the shock is temporary,we assume that the reversal of real money demand occurs before the price leveladjusts—that is, MD returns from MD2to MD1before the price level changes.

Using a new dia-gram, illustrate how this change affects the money and FX markets. Label your short-run equilibrium point B and your long-run equilibrium point C.Answer:See the following diagram. In the long run, the price level will have to increase to adjust for the drop in real money demand (assuming the central bank does not change the money supply, M). That is, the nominal interest rate returns to its initial value in the long run. This requires that the price level increase to reduce real money supply. The drop in real money demand will have to be met one-for-one with a drop in real money supply (generated by an increase in the price level). In this case, the expected exchange rate changes because the shock is permanent.

When the Bank of Korea implements this policy,how will this affect the FX market in the short run?Answer:In this case, the expected exchange rate is unchanged because the in-vestors didn’t expect the decrease in the money supply.Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short RunS-29i won i 1won i 2won 2won1wonM 1K / P 1K M 2K / P 1K DR 1DR E 1E 2E won/¥ing your previous answers, evaluate the following statements:i.If a country wants to increase the value of its currency, it can do so (tem-porarily) without raising domestic interest rates.ii.The central bank can reduce both the domestic price level and the value ofits currency in the long run.iii.The most effective way to increase the value of a currency is through sur-prising investors.Answer: Though it is theoretically possible, as shown in (b), it is not a good pol-icy because it is bad for the policy makers reputation in the long run.i.True; shown in (b).ii.False; shown in (a) A reduction in price level implies an exchange rate ap-preciation by PPP .iii.False; shown in (b) and (c) compared with (a).

In general, a policy must be cred-ible for it to have an effect in the long run.6.In the late 1990s, several East Asian countries used limited flexibility or currency pegsin managing their exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. This question considers how different countries responded to the East Asian Currency Crisis (1997–1998).For the following questions, treat the East Asian country as the home country and the United States as the foreign country. Also, for the diagrams, you may assume these countries maintained a currency peg (fixed rate) relative to the U.S. dollar. Also, for the following questions, you need consider only the short-run effects.a.In July 1997, investors expected that the Thai baht would depreciate. That is, theyexpected that Thailand’s central bank would be unable to maintain the currency peg with the U.S. dollar. Illustrate how this change in investors’ expectations af-fects the Thai money market and the FX market, with the exchange rate defined as baht (B) per U.S. dollar, denoted E B/$. Assume the Thai central bank wants to maintain capital mobility and preserve the level of its interest rate and abandons the currency peg in favor of a floating exchange rate regime.Answer:If Thailand is willing to let its currency float against the dollar, thenThailand’s central bank can maintain monetary policy autonomy and interna-tional capital mobility.

Illustrate how this change in in-vestors’ expectations affects the Indonesian money market and the FX market,with the exchange rate defined as rupiahs (Rp) per U.S. dollar, denoted E Rp /$. As-sume the Indonesian central bank wants to maintain capital mobility and the cur-rency peg.Answer: If Indonesia wants to maintain the currency peg against the dollar andmaintain international capital mobility, it will have to give up monetary policyautonomy. In this case, Indonesia has to increase the domestic interest rate to keepinvestors from dumping their rupiah-denominated deposits for U.S. dollars andmove their investments out of Indonesia (this would then cause a depreciation inthe rupiah).i rup i 1rup i 2rup 1rup 2rupM 1I / P 1I M 2I / P 1I 12FR E 1E rupiah/$2c.Malaysia had a similar experience, except that it used capital controls to maintainits currency peg and preserve the level of its interest rate. Illustrate how this change in investors’ expectations affects the Malaysian money market and the FX market,with the exchange rate defined as ringgit (RM) per U.S. dollar, denoted E RM/$. Y ou need show only the short-run effects of this change in investors’ expectations.Answer:See the following diagram. In the absence of capital controls Malaysian interest rate would have to rise. However, by preventing investors from taking ad-vantage of arbitrage, Malaysia creates a disequilibrium. The investors require i 2RM to keep their deposits in Malaysia, but they only receive i 1RM . Because of the cap-ital controls imposed by Malaysia, investors cannot withdraw their ringgit-denominated deposits (selling ringgit in exchange for dollars in the FX market).n effect, the foreign market equilibrium diagram shown below does notwork/exist. This allows Malaysia to maintain monetary policy autonomy and a fixed exchange rate at the same time.Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short RunS-31i RM i 1RM i 2RM 1RM 2RM M 1M / P 1M 12E 1E RM/$pare and contrast the three approaches just outlined. As a policy maker,which would you favor? Explain.Answer: There is no “correct” answer to this question. The cases above highlight the trilemma because each country can choose a different option depending on their domestic or international priorities. They need to compare the benefits of having any two of (a) fixed exchange rates, (b) monetary autonomy, and (c) in-ternational capital mobility against the cost of not having the third one.7.Several countries have opted to join currency unions. Examples include the Euroarea, the CFA franc union in W est Africa, and the Caribbean currency union. This in-volves sacrificing the domestic currency in favor of using a single currency unit in multiple countries. Assuming that once a country joins a currency union it will not leave, do these countries face the policy trilemma discussed in the text? Explain.Answer: These countries do face the trilemma because they are committed to main-taining the first policy goal of a fixed exchange rate. Joining a currency union effec-tively means a country has a fixed exchange rate without the need for government intervention because the money supply is controlled by a regional central bank for member countries. This effectively reduces the choice to a dilemma between mone-tary policy autonomy versus international capital mobility. T ypically, countries that are parts of a currency union sacrifice monetary policy autonomy; policy decisions are made jointly rather than independently.S-32Solutions ■Chapter 4(15) Exchange Rates II: The Asset Approach in the Short Run8.During the Great Depression, the United States remained on the international goldstandard longer than other countries. This effectively meant that the United States wascommitted to maintaining a fixed exchange rate at the onset of the Great Depression.The U.S. dollar was pegged to the value of gold along with other major currencies,including the British pound, the French franc, and so on. Many researchers haveblamed the severity of the Great Depression on the Federal Reserve and its failure toreact to economic conditions in 1929 and 1930. Discuss how the policy trilemma ap-plies to this situation.Answer: The United States was committed to the fixed exchange rate with gold;consequently, policy makers had to sacrifice either monetary policy autonomy or cap-ital mobility, just as the trilemma suggests. Based on the information given in thequestion, we can assume that the policy did not respond to the U.S. business cycle(policy makers did not exercise monetary policy autonomy). Thus, if we assume in-ternational capital mobility, the United States could not react to the business cyclewith a monetary expansion until it abandoned the gold standard.9.On June 20, 2007, John Authers, investment editor of the Financial Times,wrote thefollowing in his column “The Short View”:The Bank of England published minutes showing that only the narrowest pos-sible margin, 5–4, voted down [an interest] rate hike last month. Nobody fore-saw this. . . . The news took sterling back above $1.99, and to a 15-year highagainst the yen.Can you explain the logic of this statement? Interest rates in the United Kingdomhad remained unchanged in the weeks since the vote and were still unchanged afterthe minutes were released. What news was contained in the minutes that causedtraders to react? Use the asset approach.Answer: The news item indicates that investors did not expect the decision to leaveinterest rates unchanged would be divisive. They thought that any increases in inter-est rates would happen further in the future. Higher interest rates would lead to anappreciation in the pound sterling. When the minutes showed that interest rate in-creases were more likely than previously thought, investors came to expect an appre-ciation sooner rather than later. This caused an appreciation in the current spot ex-change rate.10.W e can use the asset approach to both make predictions about how the market willreact to current events and understand how important these events are to investors.Consider the behavior of the Union/Confederate exchange rate during the CivilW ar. How would each of the following events affect the exchange rate, defined as?Confederate dollars per Union dollar, EC$/$a.The Confederacy increases the money supply by 2,900% between July and De-cember of 1861.Answer: The Confederate money supply increases, the exchange rate increases,and the Confederate dollar depreciates.b.The Union Army suffers a defeat in Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863.Answer: Appreciation in the Confederate dollar is expected because a militaryvictory means a stable economy and monetary policy, implying decreased uncer-tainty and risk, the exchange rate decreases, and the Confederate dollar appreci-ates.c.The Confederate Army suffers a major defeat with Sherman’s March in the au-tumn of 1864.Answer: Just the opposite of (b) above: depreciation in the Confederate dollar isexpected because of military defeat increases economic and monetary uncertaintyand risk; the exchange rate increases, and the Confederate dollar depreciates.。
