Question 10 d Anwser only question d please thank you Assume that there is a free-floating exchange rate. Will the following cause sterling toappreciate or depreciate relative to other currencies? In each case, you should considerwhether there is a shift in the demand or supply curves of sterling (or both) and whichway the curve(s) shift(s). You may assume that the impacts are ceteris paribus, that is,everything else remains the same. Illustrate your answers and give a short explanation interms of currency supply and demand.(a) UK imports increase. (b) UK interest rates rise relative to those abroad. (c) The UK experiences lower inflation than other countries, but with no change in interestrates. (d) Forex speculators believe that the Pound sterling will depreciate.

(1) In the IS-LM model, how does an increase in money supply affect theIS curve?(2) According to the Impossible Trinity, if an economy wants to allow for free capitalflows as well as to have full control over its currency, which exchange rate systemshould be adopted?(3) In an IS-LM model, if the investors are suddenly less willing to invest, then what effects does this change make to the equilibrium? Explain your intuitions.(4) According to your answers in (3), if the government wants to stabilize the interestrate using monetary policies, how should it behave? If the government, instead, wantsto stabilize the output level using monetary policies, what is your policy suggestion forit?
QUESTION 10Suppose there are two countries that are identical in every way with the following exception. Country A is pursuing a fixed exchange rate regime and country B is pursuing a flexible exchange rate regime. Suppose government spending in both countries rises by the same amount. Given this information, we know that: the change in output in A will be greater than in B. the change in output in B will be greater than in A. the change in output will be the same in both countries. the relative output effects are ambiguous.
Use the following diagram, depicting the combination of exchange rate and output for which both the output and asset markets are in equilibrium. Exchange rate, E DD AA Y¹ Output, Y Under a flexible exchange rate regime, expansionary fiscal policy will: Select one: O shift the DD curve rightwards and output increases by a small amount shift both the DD and AA curve rightwards and output increases by a large amount O shift the AA curve rightwards and ouput increase by a small amount O shift the AA curve rightwards then leftwards, leaving output unchanged O shift the DD curve rightwards then leftwards, leaving output unchanged
If the government wants to O decrease; contractionary O increase; expansionary O increase; only rules-based O decrease: expansionary the value of its currency in the foreign exchange market, it can use monetary policy.

8. In a small open economy, net exports NX depend negatively on domestic in- come Y and negatively on the real exchange rate & = = eP/P*, where e is the nom- inal exchange rate (the foreign-currency price of domestic currency), and P and P* are the domestic- and foreign-currency prices of domestically and foreign- produced goods, respectively. Assume initially that both P and P* are fixed. There is perfect mobility of capital, so balance-of-payments equilibrium requires that i i*, where i and it are the domestic and foreign interest rates. Assume the economy adopts a flexible exchange rate regime. = (a) Using the IS-LM-BP model, carefully explain whether monetary policy and/or fiscal policy can succeed in raising the economy's GDP. Now assume instead that the economy adopts a fixed exchange rate regime. (b) For each of the policies below, explain what foreign-exchange market intervention is required to support the fixed exchange rate, and whether the policy would succeed in raising…
1. Suppose in the New Keynesian open-economy model that there is a negative output gap andthe central bank decreases the current money supply.(a) Assuming that the exchange rate is flexible. Draw diagrams for the labour, goods andmoney markets, and the production function. Determine the equilibrium effects of thisdecrease in the money supply on employment, output, consumption, investment, money,real wages, the real interest rate, the price level and the exchange rate. Provide a detailedeconomic analysis explaining your results with the aid of the diagrams.(b) Repeat part (a) for the case of a fixed exchange rate.
