Econ1132: principles of macroeconomics- lecture 7: the open economy: exports and. Any increase in exports, or foreign purchases of u. s. goods does increase output and employment. Spending by people abroad on u. s. goods crease demand for u. s. goods. Rise with foreign income and decrease if u. s. prices are high. Rise with strong growth abroad (foreigners will buy more from us as well as more at home)and foreigners will buy more from us if our prices are lower relative to foreign prices. Inflation in the u. s. would hurt u. s. exports (a rise in dollar would rise p, would reduce spending on u. s. produced goods and reduce u. s. outputs) A fall in the dollar would increase exports since it would reduce the price of u. s. goods to europeans. Any new spending goes for imports does not increase demand for u. s. -made goods and thus does not increase u. s. output. Determinants: c and i (di and all other factors determining consumption and investment)

An economy with zero net exports is described below:

C	= 100 + 0.6 (Y 'T)
I ^p	= 70
G	= 120
NX	= 0
T	= 150
The multiplier in this economy is 2.5.

A. Find short-run equilibrium output.

Instruction: Enter your response as an integer value.

Short-run equilibrium output: .

B. Economic recovery abroad increases the demand for the country's exports; as a result, NX rises to 80.

Instruction: Enter your response as an integer value.

Short-run equilibrium output (Click to select)decreases/ increases to ________ .

C. Assume that foreign economies are slowing, reducing the demand for the country's exports so that NX = -80. (A negative value of net exports means that exports are less than imports.)

Short-run equilibrium output (Click to select)increases/decreases to ___________ .

D. Which of the following best describes the tendency of recessions and expansions to spread across countries?

1. Lower planned aggregate spending in one nation will reduce the amount of goods it exports abroad, thereby lowering the value of imports for its trading partners, which will reduce its short-term equilibrium output as well.

2. Lower planned aggregate spending abroad means that fewer goods will be exported from a specific nation, leaving more goods available for domestic consumption (C) in that nation, which will increase its short-term equilibrium output.

3. Lower planned aggregate spending abroad will reduce the amount of investment that flows into domestic industries from other countries, thereby reducing domestic short-term equilibrium output.

4. Lower planned aggregate spending in a nation means fewer imports of foreign goods, thereby reducing the short-term equilibrium output of its trading partners through lower net export (NX) values in those nations.
