Exercise
Suppose that some foreign countries begin to subsidize investment by instituting an investment tax credit.
What happens to world investment demand as a function of the world interest rate? What happens to the world interest rate? What happens to investment in our small open economy? What happens to our trade balance? What happens to our real exchange rate?
example: A new international trade agreement causes greater demand for workers in the export sectors and less demand for workers in import-competing sectors.

exports and imports a country’s output (Y ) and its spending (C + I + G)
2. Net capital outflow equals
slide 14
Why is there unemployment?
If job finding were instantaneous (f = 1), then all spells of unemployment would be brief, and the natural rate would be near zero. There are two reasons why f < 1:
purchases of foreign assets minus foreign purchases of the country’s assets the difference between saving and investment

Public Policy and Job Search
Govt programs affecting unemployment
Govt employment agencies: disseminate info about job openings to better match workers & jobs Public job training programs: help workers displaced from declining industries get skills needed for jobs in growing industries
f = rate of job finding (both exogenous)

The steady state condition
Find the natural rate of unemployment:

slide 13
policy implication
A policy that aims to reduce the natural rate of unemployment will succeed only if it lowers s or increases f.

Job Search & Frictional Unemployment
frictional unemployment: caused by the time it takes workers to search for a job occurs even when wages are flexible and there are enough jobs to go around occurs because

Chapter summary
6. How the real exchange rate is determined
NX depends negatively on the real exchange rate, other things equal The real exchange rate adjusts to equate NX with net capital outflow
In a boom, the actual unemployment rate falls below the natural rate.

7. How the nominal exchange rate is
determined
e equals the real exchange rate times the
country’s price level relative to the foreign price level. For a given value of the real exchange rate, the percentage change in the nominal exchange rate equals the difference between the foreign & domestic inflation rates.
# of employed people who lose or leave their jobs
# of unemployed people who find jobs
slide 11
Solving for the “equilibrium” U rate
f U = s E = s (L –U ) = s L – s U Solve for U/L:
Definition: the labor market is in steady state, or long-run equilibrium, if the unemployment rate is constant. The steady-state condition is:
s E = f U
workers have different abilities, preferences jobs have different skill requirements geographic mobility of workers not instantaneous flow of information about vacancies and job candidates is imperfect
fall NX does not change if policy affects neither S nor I.
5. Exchange rates
nominal: the price of a country’s currency in
terms of another country’s currency real: the price of a country’s goods in terms of another country’s goods. The real exchange rate equals the nominal rate times the ratio of prices of the two countries.

understanding its behavior in the real world
slide 8
Assumptions:
1. L is exogenously fixed.
2. During any given month, s = fraction of employed workers that become separated from their jobs, f = fraction of unemployed workers that find jobs. s = rate of job separations
slide 16
Sectoral shifts
def: changes in the composition of demand among industries or regions
example: Technological change increases demand for computer repair persons, decreases demand for typewriter repair persons
slide 5
Natural Rate of Unemployment
Natural rate of unemployment: the average rate of unemployment around which the economy fluctuates. In a recession, the actual unemployment rate rises above the natural rate.
(f + s) U = s L
so,
U s L s f
slide 12
Example:
Each month, 1% of employed workers lose their jobs (s = 0.01)
Each month, 19% of unemployed workers find jobs (f = 0.19)
