Initially, the Canadian economy is at a long-run equilibrium, denoted by E on the graph at the right. Suppose that mad cow disease occurs in Canada, which leads to a reduction in the world demand for Canadian beef products. A reduction in the demand for Canadian beef products implies a reduction in the supply of foreign currency in Canada, which results in the depreciation of the Canadian dollar. If the dollar's movement is not corrected as would be the case under a flexible exchange rate system, there will be stimulation to the demand for other Canadian exports, dampening the shift of the AD curve relative to the case with the fixed exchange rate system. Assuming there is a flexible exchange rate system, the new aggregate demand curve will be CD Price Level (P) E Yf ASO ADO AD1 AD₂ Real GDP (Y)

There is a flexible exchange rate system and only two countries in the world, the United States and Mexico. If the inflation rate in the United States rises relative to the inflation rate in Mexico, it follows that both the dollar and the peso will appreciate, although the peso will appreciate before the dollar appreciates. both the dollar and the peso will depreciate, although the peso will depreciate before the dollar depreciates. the dollar will appreciate, and the peso will depreciate. There is not enough information to answer the question. the dollar will depreciate, and the peso will appreciate.
National savings of a Classical small open economy is 120, Investment is 20, and the net export schedule is: NX = 200 - 50*(real exchange rate). If trade restrictions shift the net export function to NX = 300 - 50*(real exchange rate), in the new situation:
The autonomous region of Catalonia has recently declared independence from Spain, and is looking for an exchange rate policy that would best fit their needs. The Catalans’ main goal is to stabilise the price level in the long-run, but constantly experience fluctuations in the price of foreign goods imported from Spain and other European countries. Would it be better for the Catalans to fix the exchange rate against the Euro, or to adopt a floating exchange rate? Justify your answer briefly.
Suppose the foreign exchange market is characterized by the following equations: Qd = 12.5 – 1.25R Qs = 3.5 + 1.25R where Qd is the demand function for foreign exchange, Qs is supply function of foreign exchange, and R is exchange rate in units of domestic currency per unit of foreign currency (quantity is in million units of foreign currency). ===================== The foreign exchange market described above is Select one: stable unstable unpredictable none of the above
In a large open economy, the IS curve has been given by Sd(r)-Id(r)=NX(e), where e is the real exchange rate that is positively related to the real interest rate r. Can you illustrate why the IS curve is downward sloping? That is, as Y increases, the real interest rate r is lower in equilibrium.

If the foreign price level increases by 4%, and the domestic price level increases by 17%, by what percent should the exchange rate of domestic currency per foreign currency increase, given relative PPP holds? Your answer should be an integer with a % sign assumed to follow (e.g., if you wish to say 48 percent, write 48). The percent increase in the exchange rate should be

Country X is a major oil exporter. It has a floating exchange rate system and has managed to maintain current account surpluses for some time, which it used to build up its foreign exchange reserves over the years. Oil prices suddenly fall from around $100 a barrel to $29 a barrel in the course of a single year, making a huge dent in the country's ability to earn foreign exchange from its exports. The government first considers the drop in oil prices temporary and decides to draw down its reserves to finance the emerging deficit in its current account and to support the country's currency. However, domestic and foreign investors, seeing a looming currency crisis and an eventual depreciation of the country's currency start converting their assets into foreign exchange and pulling their money out of the country, putting further pressure on the value of the country's currency, but the government continues to support the currency by using its vast reserves. Eventually, as the reserves…
