You have the following annual figures for the New Zealand economy.
Investment expenditure $40.6 billion Net Exports $3.6 billion Net Foreign Income -$9.5 billion
The current account balance is equal to $____billon (use 1 d.p. and a negative sign if the balance you have calculated is a deficit).
New Zealand domestic savings is equal to $____billon (use 1 d.p.).
Suppose that the government introduces a policy that bans foreign investment in New Zealand. If that happens then (everything else held constant) we would expect to see the current account balance
-rise
-remain the same.
-fall
-become harder to predict
Suppose that along with the above policy, the government also wishes to see investment levels maintained. If that is to occur, what else must be happening in the economy?
- The Government must raise taxes.
- Firms must be offered incentives to invest.
- New…
In the foreign exchange market, the supply curve for the dollar is upward sloping. That is, when the exchange rate (foreign
currency per dollar) increases, the quantity of dollars supplied increases.
Assuming actors have not yet had time to change their expectations about the future exchange rate, when the exchange rate
increases, why is the supply curve of dollars in the foreign exchange market upward sloping?
Foreign goods and services are less expensive to import.
U.S. firms profit more by selling their goods and services domestically rather than selling to foreigners.
The expected profitability of purchasing a dollar today to sell in the future rises.
U.S. goods are less expensive for foreigners to purchase.
Consider a floating exchange rate regime. How does higher government purchases affect output and interest rate in equilibrium? Answer and discuss with the help of the diagram given (e.g., show what curves will shift, label curves and axes correctly).
Consider a fixed exchange rate regime. How does higher government expenditure affect output and interest rate in equilibrium? Discuss with the help of the diagram (e.g., show what curves will shift, label curves and axes correctly).
Are your conclusions in (1) and (2) consistent with Mankiw's conclusion using the IS-LM diagram drawn in exchange rate-Output axes? Discuss.

(1) When a British firm invests in a bicycle manufacturing facility in South Africa, the amount concerned is entered as an inflow on the current account of the South African balance of payments. (2) When someone purchases a second-hand car, the transaction is included in the calculation of GDP in the year the sale took place. (3) A deficit on the current account of the balance of payments indicates that the country exported more than it imported during the period in question.
