By 2002, roles had been reversed: more U.S. residents visited Canada than vice versa. Why did the tourism reverse direction? Canada didn’t get any warmer from 1992 to 2002 – but it did get cheaper. The reason is a large change in the exchange rate: in 1992 Canadian dollar was worth $0.80, but by 2002 it had fallen in the value by 20% to about $0.65. This means that Canadian goods and services, particularly hotel rooms and meals, were about 20% cheaper for Americans in 2002 compared to 1992. American vacations had become 20% more expensive for Canadians. Canadians responded by vacationing in their own country or in other parts of the world. Foreign travel is an example of a good that has a high price elasticity of demand: elasticity=4.1. One reason is that foreign travel is a luxury good for most people – you may regret not going to Paris this year, but you can live…arrow_forward

To remind you, these issues were not linked to a specific chapter in class discussion, rather they were discussed throughout the whole unit. Two countries, A and B, have currencies A$ and B$ ("A dollars" and "B dollars"), respectively. The following table has data about the nominal exchange rate between the two currencies, the two countries' nominal GDP per capita, and the cost of the same consumption basket in the two countries. These two are in the two countries own currencies, as indicated in the table. For your convenience, the table also lists Country B's nominal GDP. capita, converted to Country A's currency.. Please spend a few minutes familiarizing yourself with the data in the table, before attempting any questions.arrow_forwardAccording to an article published by the Daily Star in August, 2021, "After buying a record amount of US dollars last year, Bangladesh Bank has begun selling the American greenback. The central bank purchased the dollar amounting to $205 million in July. But it has started selling the greenhack from this month". The main purpose behind this action is to help protect the value of the BDT against the USD. Based on your knowledge of the foreign exchange market, explain what the BB is actually trying to do and how it may affect the current account balance of Bangladesh, holding everything else constant. Note: Greenback means USD.arrow_forward
