- 5. Balance of payments and the foreign exchange market The following graph shows the market for euros, which is initially in equilibrium. Suppose an economic expansion in Canada leads to an increase in the incomes of Canadian households, causing imports from Europe to rise. On the graph, illustrate the effect of an economic expansion on the market for euros by shifting the appropriate curve or curves. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

S, denotes the long-run supply schedule of euros. The initial equilibrium exchange rate is $1.20 per euro. Suppose that the demand for euros increases to D,. On the graph, use the tan point (dash symbol) to indicate the short-run equilibrium exchange rate. Then use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the long-run equilibrium exchange rate. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. The following graph shows the short-run supply schedule (So) and demand schedule (Do) for the euro. Si denotes the long-run supply schedule of euros. The initial equilibrium exchange rate is $1.20 per euro. Suppose that the demand for euros increases to D1.
