Question
Assume that the LM curve for a small open economy with a floating exchange rate is given
by Y = 200r – 200 + 2(M/P), while the IS curve is Y = 400 + 3G – 2T + 3NX – 200r. The function for NX is NX = 200 – 100e, where e is the exchange rate. The price level (P) is fixed
at 1.0. The international interest rate is r*= 2.5 percent.
a. Using the LM curve, find the equilibrium level of Y in the small open economy, if M =100.
b. Given this value of Y, if G = 100 and T = 100, what must be the equilibrium value of NX?
c. If this value of NX is to be achieved, what must be the equilibrium exchange rate, e?
