8. For this question, assume that equilibrium output is determined in the zZ - Y diagram. Further assume that policy makers' goals are (1) to achieve balanced trade (i.e. NX =0); and (2) to achieve a target level of output, say Y'. Now, suppose that the initial level of equilibrium output is equal to Y' (ie.,Y = Y") and that a trade deficit exists at this initial level of output. Which of the following policy actions would most likely enable the policy makers to achieve their two goals simultaneously? A. a reduction in government spending B. convince the country's trading partners to pursue policies what will cause an increase in foreign income (Y) C. a reduction in taxes D. a simultancous increase in government spending and reduction in the real exchange rate E. none of the above

Suppose the U.S. government has just hired you to analyze the following scenario. Assume the U.S. manufacturing industry grows concerned about competition from low-cost producers overseas exporting their goods to the United States, a practice that harms domestic producers. Industry experts claim that implementing a tariff on imports would reduce the size of the trade deficit. Complete the following exercise in order to help you analyze this claim. The following graph shows the demand and supply of U.S. dollars in a model of the foreign-currency exchange market. Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both to show what would happen if the government decided to implement the tariff. REAL EXCHANGE RATE (Units of foreign currency per dollar) QUANTITY OF DOLLARS Given this change, the dollar Supply Change due to a tariff Demand Fill in the following table with the effect of a tariff on the following items: Demand Supply (?)

Q58. Your text has a discussion of various ways nations can skew income, production, and price-level data. Why would any nation choose to do so? to avoid paying its debts to avoid lower credit ratings or ease concerns of foreign investors to keep the rich from getting richer to increase its external wealth Q17. Suppose that the new international relative price of computers increases from the pre-trade price. If we then subtract the number of computers purchased domestically at the new international price from the number of computers produced, we will get one point on for computers.

Consider Figure 14.7, which shows the relationship between cultural modernization and income per capita. In which case will the “modernization multiplier” be larger: when the M(Y) curve is flat, or when it is steep, although less steep than the Y(M)curve? What is the economic interpretation of the slope of the M(Y) curve?
Q1. The experience of Greece illustrates some of the challenges of the eurozone. As a resultof the global financial crisis that began in 2007–2008, the eurozone entered its first official recession.The severity of this downturn came close to breaking up the eurozone as financially weak memberssuch as Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, and Spain teetered on the verge of bankruptcy.In 2008, Greece was in deep recession, its economy was uncompetitive with northern eurozonemembers like Germany, and its debt was more than three times as large as previously estimated.With debt piling up, investors feared that Greece could not pay its international obligations. To shoreup Greece’s financial position, other eurozone countries, in conjunction with the InternationalMonetary Fund (IMF), agreed on a packagethat gave Greece 110 billion euros in loans. When this bailout was agreed to, it was feared thatGreece's exit from the eurozone would cause so much panic in the markets that other vulnerablecountries…
2) On the graph below show how the Solow model will differ if we allow for trade. Assume that the country has a current account deficit. Hint: Remember that national savings is equal to sY+ = It + CA₁₁ where CA, is the nation's current account at time t. Therefore, the (per worker) capital accumulation function will become k++1 - k₁ = syt - cat - (n+ d) k₁, where ca, is the "current account per worker."
