Document Summary

The market for loanable funds: the place to start to understand the market for loanable funds in a small open economy is with this identity: Wednesday, november 23, 2016: this difference, then, represents the quantity of dollars supplied in the market for foreign-currency exchange for the purpose of buying foreign assets. Thus, when a canadian resident imports a car made in japan, our model treats that transaction as a decrease in the quantity of dollars demanded (because net exports fall) rather than an increase in the quantity of dollars supplied. Similarly, when a japanese citizen buys a canadian government bond, our model treats that transaction as a decrease in the quantity of dollars supplied (because net capital out ow falls) rather than an increase in the quantity of dollars demanded. Equilibrium in the small open economy: let"s now consider how the market for loanable funds and the market for foreign- currency exchange are related to each other.
