The following table presents data on the relationship between various real interest rates and national saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow in this economy, where the currency is the U.S. dollar.

- An open economy with absolute mobility of capital is described as follows: consumption function is given as C = 50 +0, 8(Y - T), where Y is output, and T is net taxes, Investment function is given as I = 20-10i, where I is nominal interest rate. Government spending G 22-4E+0, 3Y where E - nominal exchange rate (price of foreign currency in terms of domestic currency). For one unit of foreign currency, you can get 3 units of domestic currency. The real money supply is M* /P= 50. The demand for real money is described by the following function: L(Y,i) = 0, 5Y-10i. 20, tax Tr = 10, export Ex = 6E +10, import Im %3D Find BP curve, if the economy is initially in the internal and external equilibrium.

Consider savings-investment diagrams assuming that there are two countries in the world, A and B. Initially, both countries are identical, i.e., they have the same supply of savings and demand for investment. Therefore, even as open economies, they both have balanced current accounts, i.e., neither has a deficit or surplus. Now assume that in country A, the government increases the budget deficit, shifting the supply of savings to the left. If all other curves (A s investment demand, B s savings supply, B s investment demand) stay the same, what will the effect of the increase in A's budget deficit? a. Country B will have a CA surplus. b. Country A will have a KFA deficit. c. Investment in country B will increase. d. The world real interest rate will fall.arrow_forward
