3. Explain what effect each of the following events will have on the IS curve in a flexible exchange rate regime: (1) an increase in foreign output; (2) a reduction in the foreign interest rate; and (3) an increase in the domestic interest rate.
SOLUTION:
1) Increase in foreign output
Increase in foreign output lead to increase in interest rates. As IS curve is downward sloping so, an increase in interest will lead to an decrease in Ouput within the IS Curve.
