E) the price of different goods baskets in the same market. Answer: D Question Status: Previous Edition24) Explain how does a

29、n increase in the real exchange rate affect exports and imports? Answer: When the real exchange rate increases, domestic products are cheaper relative to foreign products. Due to this, exports increase as foreigners demand more of our exports. The change in imports is ambiguous because fewer units o

30、f imports are purchased (the volume effect), but each foreign unit is now more expensive (the value effect). Remember: exports and imports are measured in terms of domestic output, . dollar value, not volume of units. However, we often assume that the volume effect outweighs the value effect, so tha

31、t imports decrease when the real exchange rate rises. Question Status: Previous Edition25) Please discuss the volume effect and the value effect in regards to how the current account will move given a change in the real exchange rate. Answer: The volume effect takes place when consumer spending shif

32、ts on export and import quantities, while the value effect results when the domestic output worth of a given amount of foreign imports is changed. It is assumed that the volume effect outweighs the value effect, so that, other things equal, a real depreciation of the currency improves the current ac

33、count. Question Status: Previous Edition26) What is the real exchange rate? What is its relationship to the current account? Answer: Defined as: EP/P (the exchange rate multiplied by foreign prices, divided by domestic prices).While the nominal exchange rate measures how much of a foreign currency o

34、ne can buy with a unit of domestic currency, the real exchange rate measures how many goods and services one could buy. A rise in the real exchange rate (a depreciation of domestic currency) means that domestic goods are cheaper compared to foreign goods, so exports increase and imports decrease. Ag

35、gregate demand increases and the CA rises. A fall in the real exchange rate has the opposite effect: Aggregate demand decreases and the CA falls. Question Status: Previous Edition 27) Monetary expansion causes the current account balance to increase in the short run. Discuss. Is the same the case fo

36、r fiscal expansion? Answer: Am increase in the money supply leads to an increase in Y and E (output increases and the currency depreciates, respectively). Because of the currency depreciation, domestic goods are now cheaper compared to foreign goods. Exports increase and imports decrease, therefore

37、the CAB increases. An expansion of fiscal policy actually reduces the CAB: the DD curve is shifted right. Therefore Y rises, but E falls (output rises but the currency appreciates.) Domestic goods are more expensive, and the CAB falls. Question Status: Previous Edition28) Find the real exchange rate
