An expected decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. means there will be less imports into the U.S. Less imports in the U.S. translates to a reduction in exports from China, which is significant as the U.S. has the largest GDP of all nations. As the U.S. is reducing imports, it will be purchasing less goods from China, which means the U.S. will be giving up less dollars to purchase Chinese goods with the yuan.
Will a decline in demand for consumer goods in the U.S. impact China's economy given the above information? If so, how would that affect the dollar-yuan exchange rate?
Consider an economy (with no international trade) in which the price level is constant where C = 500 + .8DI, I = 600, G = 500, and T = 500. What is the equilibrium level of GDP?
That a rich country like Germany has such a small ratio of imports to GDP as compared to Belgium is the evidence of geography.

- Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, DI is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases: C� = = 30+0.8×DI30+0.8×DI G� = = 5050 I� = = 6060 Initially, this economy had a lump sum tax. Suppose net taxes were $50 billion, so that disposable income was equal to Y – 50, where Y is real GDP. In this case, this economy's aggregate output demanded was ___________ . Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the spending multiplier is ____________ , this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by ____________ . Now suppose that the government switches to a proportional tax on income of 10%. Because consumers retain the remaining 90% of their income, disposable income is now equal to 0.90Y. In this case, the economy's aggregate output…arrow_forwardQ58. Your text has a discussion of various ways nations can skew income, production, and price-level data.
