Question
Consider a two-period small open economy without production and a representative household, which lives for two periods. It receives
endowments in the first period (Q1) and second period (Q2), respectively. The household inherits no wealth and optimally decides how much to
consume in the first period (C1) and second period (C2) as well as international bond holdings (B1) in the first period, which pays the interest rate
R. Household preferences are given by U(C1; C2) = log(C1)+log(C2). Suppose there is a temporary increase in first period endowment Q1 by Delta,
while period 2 endowment stays the same at Q2. How will the Trade Balance in period 2 (TB2) change?
O a.
TB2 will be roughly unaffected
O b.
TB2 will decrease
О с.
TB2 will increase
O d.
