- a. In September 1995, Patrick Buchanan, a Republican candidate for president, proposed a 10 percent tariff on Japanese imports to the United States, a 20 percent tariff on Chinese imports to the United States, and an unspecified "social" tariff on imports from developing countries. Use the long-run model of a small open economy to graphically illustrate the impact of these trade policies on the U.S. exchange rate and the trade balance. Assume that the country starts from a position of trade balance. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction the curves shift; and v. the new longrun equilibrium values. b. Based on your graphical analysis, explain the predicted impact of Mr. Buchanan's proposed policies. Specifically state what happens to the exchange rate, the trade balance, the volume of imports, and the volume of exports. Please show the graph while describing each piece.arrow_forwardThe Big Mac index was introduced by The Economist magazine in 1986, as a playful example to introduce the concept of purchase power parity (PPP) and under/overvaluation of currencies. The PPP rates are usually compiled based on consumer baskets of comparable quality. The problem is that goods in different economies are hardly comparable. The customer basket contains only one good which is made everywhere in exactly the same way – McDonald’s Big Mac. You might think that is an oversimplification, but in fact the Big Mac Index has been widely used for comparing currencies ever since it was first published. Explore the concept behind the Big Mac index and critically assess the importance of comparability of goods in various economies.arrow_forwardUsing the concept of "carry trade," explain how a decrease in U.S. interest rates could affect the EUR/USD exchange rate. Given this change in exchange rate, how would firms and customers be affected? professors note Supply and demand for currencies can be tricky, not least due to the confusing idea that what we are buying or selling is money itself! Once you can wrap your mind around the idea that money is what is being obtained for other money, the next set of questions relates to what would or could make the price of one money change in terms of another. To this effect, I'd recommend a primer from Investopedia: Six Factors That Influence Exchange Rates. For your consideration in responding to this post, I suggest reading on how the Carry Trade has the capacity to magnify systemic risk.arrow_forward
