Imagine the following scenario: The central bank of Neverland ensures that the exchange rate between the Neverland dollar and the U.S.
dollar is fixed. Due to a global financial crisis the demand for U.S. dollars goes up and the demand for Neverland dollars goes down. First,
the Neverland's central bank spends U.S. dollar reserves to support the peg but then it runs out of reserves. What is most likely to happen
next?
A. the Neverland dollar's exchange rate with respect to U.S. dollar (i.e., the price of Neverland dollars in U.S. dollars) will go up
B. the Neverland dollar's exchange rate with respect to U.S. dollar will go down
OC. the Neverland dollar's exchange rate with respect to U.S. dollar will not change
OD. the stock market index of the Neverland stock exchange will go up
Suppose country A’s goods become more popular with foreign consumers, and country B’s less so. How would this affect each country, assuming that they (a) have their own independent currency and (b) share a common currency? Use the aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) framework to explain your answer, and comment briefly on the desirability of currency union. If you can give an example with countries that would be great.

The actual exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar was $1.25 per pound. The dollar price of a Big Mac purchased in the United Kingdom was, therefore, computed as follows: Dollar price of a Big Mac in the United Kingdom = GBP 3.29 X = $4.11 For the price you paid for a Big Mac in the United States, you could have purchased a Big Mac in the United Kingdom and had some change left over for fries!

Examples include those in the euro area, the CFA franc union in West Africa, and the Caribbean currency union. This involves sacrificing the domestic currency in favor of using a single currency unit in multiple countries. Assuming that once a country joins a currency union, it will not leave, do these countries face the policy trilemma discussed in the text? Explain. 7) During the Great Depression, the United States remained on the international gold standard longer than other countries. This effectively meant that the United States was committed to maintaining a fixed exchange rate at the onset of the Great Depression.
