- Prediction Problem I (This is adapted from Question 5 in
Chapter 7 of the text.)
Suppose that there
is an increase in foreign income(?∗). Assume that that
the exchange rate is flexible.
- Predict how this would affect domestic income, domestic
interest rates, the exchange rate, and the domestic trade
balance.
- Suppose the Fed decides it wants to respond to this shock by
using monetary policy to make income return to its initial value.
Depict this policy. Predict how it would affect interest rates, the
exchange rate, and the trade balance.
