試題 :

1. (30%) Discuss the following statements:

  a. When a change in a country's nominal interest rate is caused by a rise in

  the expected real interest rate, the domestic currency appreciates. When the

  change is caused by a rise in expected inflation, the currency depreciates.

  b. A temporary increase in government spending cause the current account to

  fall by a smaller amount than does a permanent increase in government

  spending.

  c. A devaluation under a fixed rate has the same long-run effect as a

  proportional increase in the money supply under a floating rate.



2. (20%) The real exchange rate is defined to be E(CPI*/CPI)

  a. If PPP holds, what is the rate of change of the CPI when the foreign

  inflation rate is 3 percent per year and

    i. the nominal exchange rate is fixed?

    ii. the domestic currency is depreciating at 7 percent per year?

    iii. the domestic currency is appreciating at 3 percent per year?

  b. Let CPI=Pn^a*Pt^1-a, where Pn is the price of nontraded goods, Pt the

  price of traded goods, and a the weight given to the former in the

  consumption basket. Define CPI* analogously. Express the real exchange rate

  as a function of the relative price Pn/Pt in each country.(Assume the law of

  one price for traded goods.)

  c. If the domestic and foreign CPIs each give a weight of two thirds to

  nontraded goods and one third to traded goods, what is the rate of change of

  real exchange rate if

    i. the relative price of nontraded goods is rising at 3 percent per year in

    thedomestic country (and is constant in the foreign country)?

    ii. the relative price of nontraded goods is rising at 3 percent per year

    in both countries?

    iii.the relative price of nontraded goods is constant, but within traded

    goods there is an increase in EP*t/Pt - a shift in terms of trade running

    against the home country - of 3 percent per year?



3. (10%) Suppose the Samsung smartphone is sold at $120 in the US and 230 real

in Brazil. The market exchange rate is 2.3 real/$ and there is a $5 shipping

cost from the US to Brazil. Is it profitable for buyers to import from US to

Brazil? If the expected exchange rate of the real (real/$) declines by 8

percent, will the buyer then choose to import?



4. (10%) Explain why the expansionary monetary policy becomes ineffective

during a liquidity trap? Suppose the government undertakes an ecpansionary

fiscal policy by increasing its expenditure on military equipment. Here would

an expansionary fiscal policy be more effective than expansionary monetary

policy to escape a liquidity trap?



5. (10%)

  a. If you know calculus, prove that the Marshall-Lerner condition is the

  correct condition necessary and sufficient for a devaluation to improve TB,

  the trade balance expressed in domestic currency, starting from TB = 0.

  b. Starting from TB < 0,is the Marshall-Lerner condition too strong or too

  weak for a devaluation to improve the trade balance?



6. (20%) How would you draw the DD-AA diagram when the current account's

response to exchange rate changes follows a J-curve? Use this modified diagram

to examine the effects of temporary and permanent changes in monetary and

fiscal policy.
