Assume That the LM Curve for a Small Open Economy

question 29

Essay

Assume that the LM curve for a small open economy with a floating exchange rate is given by Y = 200r - 200 + 2(M/P), while the IS curve is Y = 400 + 3G - 2T + 3NX - 200r. The function for the net exports is NX = 200 - 100e, where e is the exchange rate. The price level (P) is fixed at 1.0. The international interest rate is r* = 2.5 percent.
a.Using the LM curve, find the equilibrium level of Y in the small open economy, if M = 100. b.Given this value of Y, if G = 100 and T = 100, what must be the equilibrium value of NX? c.If this value of NX is to be achieved, what must be the equilibrium exchange rate, e?

Definitions:

Fixed Interval

In the context of operant conditioning, a schedule of reinforcement where rewards are delivered at fixed time intervals, provided the correct response is made.

Variable Interval

A reinforcement schedule in which reinforcements are given after unpredictable time durations.

Fixed Ratio

A schedule of reinforcement where a response is only reinforced after a specified number of responses.

Variable Ratio

A reinforcement schedule in which responses are rewarded after a varied number of responses, enhancing motivation.
