Answers to End of Chapter Questions

Chapter 1

Keeping Up With a Changing World-Trade Flows, Capital Flows, and the Balance Of Payments

1. The balance on merchandise trade is the difference between exports of goods, 719 and the

imports of goods, 1,145, for a deficit of 426. The balance on goods, services and income is 719 + 279 +284 – 1145 - 210 – 269, for a deficit of 342. Adding unilateral transfers to this gives a current account deficit of 391, [-342 + (-49) = -391]. (Note that income receipts are credits and income payments are debits.)

2. Because the current account balance is a deficit of 391, then without a statistical

discrepancy, the capital account is a surplus of 391. In this problem, however, the statistical discrepancy is recorded as a positive amount (credit) of 11. Hence, the sum of the debits in the balance of payments must exceed the credits by 11. So, the deficit of the current account must be greater than the surplus on the capital account by 11. The capital account, therefore, is a surplus of 391 – 11 = 380.

3. A balance-of-payments equilibrium is when the debits and credits in the current account and

the private capital account sum to zero. In the problem above we do not know the private capital account balance. We cannot say, therefore, whether this country is experiencing

a balance-of-payments surplus or deficit or if it is in equilibrium.

4 The current account is a deficit of $541,830 and the private capital account balance is a

surplus of $369,068. The U.S., therefore, has a balance of payments deficit.

5 Positive aspects of being a net debtor include the possibility of financing domestic

investment that is not possible through domestic savings; thereby allowing for domestic capital stock growth which may allow job, productivity, and income growth. Negative aspects include the fact that foreign savings may be used to finance domestic consumption rather than domestic savings; which will compromise the growth suggested above.

Positive aspects of being a net creditor include the ownership of foreign assets which can represent an income flows to the crediting country. Further, the net creditor position also implies a net exporting position. A negative aspect of being a net creditor includes the fact that foreign investment may substitute for domestic investment.

6 A nation may desire to receive both portfolio and direct investment due to the type of

investment each represents. Portfolio investment is a financial investment while direct investment is dominated by the purchase of actual, real, productive assets. To the extent that a country can benefit by each type of investment, it will desire both types of investment.

Further, portfolio investment tends to be short-run in nature, while FDI tends to be long-run in nature. This is also addressed in much greater detail in Chapter 7.

7. Domestic Savings - Domestic Investment = Current Account Balance

Domestic Savings - Domestic Investment = Net Capital Flows

Therefore, Current Account Balance = Net Capital Flows

8 Using the equations above, private savings of 5 percent of income, government savings of

-1 percent, and investment expenditures of 10 percent would results in a current account deficit of 6 percent of income and a capital account surplus (net capital inflows) of 6 percent of income. This could be corrected with a reduction in the government deficit (to a surplus) and/or an increase in private savings.

Chapter 2

The Market for Foreign Exchange

1. Because it costs fewer dollars to purchase a euro after the exchange rate change, the euro

depreciated relative to the dollar. The rate of depreciation (in absolute value) was [(1.2168 – 1.2201)/1.2201]100 = 0.27 percent.

2. Note that the rates provided are the foreign currency prices of the U.S. dollar. Every value

has been rounded to two decimal places which may cause some differences in answers.

3 The cross rate is 1.702/1.23

4 = 1.379 (€/£), which is smaller in value than that observed

in the London market. The arbitrageur would purchase £587,544 ($1,000,000/1.702) with the $1 million in the New York market. Next they would use the £587,544 in London to purchase €837,250 (£587,544*1.425). Finally, they would sell the €837,250 in the New York market for $1,033,167 (€837,250*1.234). The profit is #33,167.

4. Total trade is (163,681 + 160,829 + 261,180 + 210, 590) = 796,280. Trade with the Euro area

is (163,681 + 261,180) = 424,861. Trade with Canada is (160,829 + 210,590) = 371,419. The weight assigned to the euro is 424,861/796,280 = 0.53 and the weight assigned to the Canadian dollar is 0.47. (Recall the weights must sum to unity.)

Because the base year is 2003, the 2003 EER is 100. The value of the 2004 EER is:

[(0.82/0.88)?0.53 + (1.56/1.59)?0.47]?100 = (0.4939 + 0.4611)?100 = 95.4964, or 95.5. This represents a 4.5 percent depreciation of the U.S. dollar.

5 The real effective exchange rate (REER) for 2003 is still 100. The real rates of exchange

are, for 2003, 0.88?(116.2/111.3) = .9187, 1.59?(116.2/111.7) = 1.6541, and for 2004,

0.82?(119.0/114.4) = 0.8530, 1.56?(119.0/115.6) = 1.6059. The value of the 2004 REER is:

[(0.8530/0.9187)?0.53 + (1.6059/1.6541)?0.47]?100 = (0.4921 + 0.4563)?100 = 94.84, or 94.8.

This represents a 5.2 percent depreciation of the U.S. dollar in real terms

6. This is a nominal appreciation of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar. The percent change

is [(1.19 –1.05)/1.05]?100 = 13.3 percent.

7. The January 200 real exchange rate is 1.05?(107.5/112.7) = 1.0016. The May 2004 real rate

is 1.19?(116.4/122.2) = 1.1335.

8 In real terms the euro appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. The rate of appreciation

is [(1.1335 – 1.0016)/1.0016]*100 = 13.17 percent.

9 Absolute PPP suggests the May 2004 exchange rate should be 122.2/116.4 = 1.0498. The actual

exchange rate is 1.19. Hence, the euro is overvalued relative to the U.S. dollar by (1.19 – 1.0498)/1.0498]?100 = 13.35 percent.

10Relative PPP can be used to calculate a predicted value of the exchange rate as: S PPP = 1.05?[(122.2/112.7)/(116.4/107.5)] = 1.0014.

11. The actual exchange rate is 1.19. Hence, the euro is overvalued relative to the U.S. dollar

by (1.19 –1.0014)/1.0014]?100 = 18.83 percent.

Chapter 3

Exchange Rate Systems, Past to Present

1. Ranking the various exchange rate arrangements by flexibility is not so clear cut.

Nonetheless the arrangements described in this chapter are (from fixed to flexible): dollarization, currency board, commodity (standard) peg, dollar (standard) peg,

currency basket peg, crawling peg, managed float, flexible.

2. The two primary functions of the International Monetary Fund are: surveillance of member

nations' macroeconomic policies, and to provide liquidity to member nations experiencing payments imbalances.

3. The value of the Canadian dollar relative to gold is CAN$69 (1.38 ? $50) and the value

of the British pound relative to gold is £33.33 ($50/1.50).

4. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the British pound is C$/£2.07 (1.38

? 1.50).

5. The currency value of the peso can be expressed as $0.50 + €.50=P1. The exchange rate

between the dollar and the euro can be used to convert the euro amount to its dollar equivalent of $0.55. Hence, $1.05=P1, or and exchange value of 0.952 P/$. Using the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro again, the exchange rate between the peso and the euro is 0.1.048 P/€ (0.952 P/$ ? 1.10 $/€).

6. Because $1.05 is the currency content of the basket, as shown above, and $0.50 of that

content is attributable to the dollar, the weight assigned to the dollar is 0.50/1.05 = 0.476, or 47.6 percent. Because the weights must sum to unity, the weight assigned to the euro is 52.4 percent.

7. The main difference between the two systems was that, in the Smithsonian system, the dollar

was not pegged to the value of gold. One reason that the system was short was because there was little confidence that U.S. economic policy would be conducted in a manner conducive to a system of pegged exchange rates.

8. The principle responsibilities of a currency board are to issue domestic currency notes

and peg the value of the domestic currency. A currency board is not allowed to purchase domestic debt, act as a lender of last resort, or set reserve requirements.

9. The Lourve accord established unofficial limits on currency value movements. In a sense,

it was peg with bands for each of the main currencies (dollar, yen and mark).

10. Differences in the fundamental determinants of currency values between the pegging

country and the other country should be considered. To this point of the text, the rate of inflation is a good example. Relative PPP can be used to determine the rate of crawl.

11. Under a currency board system, a nation still maintains its domestic currency. Hence,

policymakers can change exchange rate policies and monetary policies if they so desire.

When a nation dollarizes and disposes of its domestic currency it no longer has this option.

Chapter 4

The Forward Currency Market and International Financial Arbitrage

1. Given that the exchange rate is expressed as dollars to euros, we treat the dollar as the domestic currency. Note also that interest rates are quoted on an annual basis even though the

maturity period is only one month. In this problem we divide the interest rates by 12 to put them on a one-month basis.

a. The interest rate differential, therefore, is (1.75%/12 - 3.25%/12) = -0.125%. The

forward premium/discount, expressed as a percentage, is calculated as:

((F-S)/S)?100 = ((1.089 –1.072)/1.072)?100=1.5858%

b. Transaction costs are shown in the figure above by the dashed lines that interest the

horizontal axis at values of -1.00 and 1.00.

c. The positive value indicates that the euro is selling at a premium. In addition, the interest

rate differential favors the euro-denominated instrument. Hence, a saver shift funds to euro-denominated instruments.

2. Using the provided information:

(1.75/12) – (3.25/12) < [(1.089 - 1.072/1.072)]?100

-0.125% < 1.5858%.

In graph 1,

the demand for the euro rises as international savers shift funds into euro-denominated instruments. In graph 2, the supply of euros increases in the forward market. (Consider a U.S. saver that moves funds into a euro-denominated instrument. They would desire to sell the euro forward so they may convert euro-denominated proceeds at the time of maturity into their dollar equivalent.) Graph 3 illustrates a decrease in loanable funds in the United States as savers shift funds to euro-denominated instruments. Graph 4 illustrates the increase in the supply of loanable funds that occurs when savers shift funds to the euro-denominated instrument.

4. Because (1.03125) > (1.04250)(1.4575/1.5245) = 0.9967, an arbitrage opportunity exists in

this example if one were to borrow the pound and lend the euro. Suppose you were to borrow one pound, the steps are then:

a. Borrow £1, convert to €1.5245 on the spot market.

b. Lend euros, yielding €1.5245?(1.03125) = €1.5721.

c. See euros forward, yielding €1.5721/1.4575 = £1.0787.

d. Repay the pound loan at £1?(1.04250) = £1.04250.

e. The profit is £0.0362, or 3.62 percent.

5. Because interest rates are quoted as annualized rates, we need to divide each interest rate

by 4 (12/3). The uncovered interest parity equation is:

R -R* = (S e+1 - S) /S

a. Rewriting the equation for the expected future expected exchange rate yields:

S e+1 = [(R- R*) + 1]S

b. Using the values given yields the expected future spot rate

S e+1 = [(0.0124/4 - 0.0366/4) + 1]?1.5245 = 1.5153.

6. Given this information, we can calculate the forward premium/discount with the UIP condition:

(F - S)/S = R - R*

The interest differential is 1.75% - 3.25% = 1.5%. This is the expected forward premium on the euro. Hence, (F – 1.08)/1.08 = 0.015 implies that F = 1.0962.

7. We can adjust for the shorter maturity by dividing the interest rates by 2 (12/6). Now the

interest differential is 0.75%, still a forward premium on the euro. The forward rate now is (F – 1.08)/1.08 = 0.0075 implies that F = 1.0881.

8. The U.S. real rate is 1.24% – 2.1% = -0.86% and the Canadian real rate is 2.15% – 2.6% =

-0.45%. Ignoring transaction costs, because the real interest rates are not equal, real interest parity does not hold.

9. Uncovered interest parity is R -R* = (S e+1 - S) /S + ρ.

a. Using the same process as in question 5 above, the expected future spot rate is:

S e+1 = [(R- R*) + 1]S,

S e+1 = [(0.075 - 0.035) + 1]?30.35 = 31.564.

b. Using the same process as in question 5 above, the expected future spot rate is:

S e+1 = [(R- R*) + 1 - ρ]S,

S e+1 = [(0.075 - 0.035) + 1 –0.02]?30.35 = 30.957.

10. Because the forward rate, 30.01, is less than the expected future spot rate, 30.957, you should

sell the koruna forward. For example, $1 would purcase k30.957, which you could sell forward yielding k30.957/30.01 = $1.0316.

11. International financial instruments:

a. Global Bond: long term instruments issued in the domestic currency.

b. Eurobond: term is longer than one year and is issued in a foreign currency.

c. Eurocurrency: keyword is that it is a deposit.

Chapter 7

The International Financial Architecture and Emerging Economies

1. The difference between direct and indirect financing has to do with whether the borrower and

lender seek each other out or whether an intermediary matches borrowers and lenders. Direct financing requires no intermediary to match savers and borrowers. An economy will benefit from having both direct and indirect financing because both are appropriate ways to save and invest under different circumstances. As discussed in the text, financial intermediaries absorb a fraction of each saver's dollar that is borrowed. Thus, the intermediary takes some of the funds that otherwise would have gone to a borrower. However, the financial

intermediary provides an important service by reducing information asymmetries, allowing savers to pool risk, and matching risk and return. Therefore, when an individual cannot research these issues on his/her own, the intermediary is necessary to help the financial markets operate. However, a strong bond market, in which borrowers and savers can directly interact, allows for informed parties to save the funds that otherwise would go to an intermediary. This, in turn, uses the savings more efficiently.

2. Portfolio flows are relatively short term in nature (have a shorter term to maturity), involve

lower borrowing costs, and can generate near-term income. They also do not require a firm to give up control to a foreign investor. Consequently, they may help to improve capital allocation within an economy and help the economy's financial sector develop. These are all potential benefits of portfolio investments. By the same token, however, they are also relatively easy to reverse in direction, which is a potential disadvantage of portfolio investment.

On the other hand, foreign direct investment (FDI) involve some degree of ownership and control of a foreign firm, are typically long term in nature, and help provide a stabilizing influence on a nation's economy. As such, FDI is typically more difficult to arrange.

It is not advantageous to rely on either type of investment exclusively, in so far as each type accomplishes different goals for an economy. Both near-and long-term capital are important for an economy's growth.

3. As either portfolio investment of FDI increase, the demand for the local currency rises (e.g.,

there is a shift from D0to D1), which puts upward pressure on the value of the currency, from S0 to S1. If the central bank expects to hold the value of the currency constant at S0, it will have to increase the quantity of the domestic currency supplied (e.g., accommodate the excess quantity demanded at the initial spot rate S

0) to maintain the peg. The opposite would hold for capital outflows.

4. Suppose that a multinational bank (MNB) headquartered in a developed economy enters a

developing economy. The MNB has gained considerable expertise in working as a financial

Q s Q d

intermediary, and likely has achieved economies of scale in doing so. By entering a foreign market, it helps to allocate the savings more efficiently through its intermediation services;

which in turn will lead to additional economic development. Specifically, it should help to make sure that the best investment projects are funded. Moreover, the competition it introduces into the capital market helps to improve the quality of the indigenous financial intermediaries. This, in turn, should also add to financial stability.

5. Savers and borrowers can also benefit from the regulation of financial intermediaries when

portfolio capital flows dominate a country's capital inflows. It can be argued that regulation to limit short-term inflows can stabilize the economy and that these regulations can be gradually lifted as the economy becomes more stable (financial markets develop) and resilient to external shocks. These regulations do impose costs in that they require resources to enforce, and may inhibit otherwise helpful capital inflows which may aid economic development. However, these costs must be considered against the potential losses that may be incurred if the absence of capital controls would lead to more volatile and capital markets (which may deter the inflow of foreign capital).

6. Policymakers should undertake actions that attract both portfolio capital flows and FDI flows.

Actions that improve transparency in both the private a public sector reduces information asymmetries and their associate problems thereby making portfolio flows more stable, in other words, reducing the risk of massive capital outflows. Policymakers may also undertake actions that promote education, improve the tax structure and tax collection, and improve the countries infrastructure. These actions may, in turn, attract FDI.

7. In the following two examples it is assumed that the policymaker maintains a pegged-exchange

rate regime and does not opt for a floating-rate regime. Hence, the policymaker may either intervene and maintain the peg or change the value of the peg. In both cases there is pressure for the domestic currency to appreciate vis a vis the foreign currency.

a. If the exchange rate pressure is only temporary in nature, then the policymaker may

intervene by accommodating the excess quantity demanded, as explained in question 3 above.

b. Because the exchange rate pressure is longer-term in nature, the policymaker would be

well advised to revalue the domestic currency.

8. The World Bank was initially established to help countries rebuild after WWII and in the 1960s

expanded to also make long term loans to developing nations in order to help reduce poverty and improve living standards. Recently, some of the World Bank's activities have begun to overlap the IMF's activities to finance long-term structural adjustments and provide refinancing for some heavily indebted countries. Critics may argue that the tasks that are duplicated by the IMF and the World Bank create conflicting goals for the World Bank. Thus, the two organizations may each benefit by focusing on different aims. For instance, the IMF may return to financing shorter-term objectives and leave the World Bank to worry about longer-term projects.

Another conflicting line of reasoning involves donors' expectation that the World Bank maintain a revenue stream form its projects. This can be argues as unrealistic, however, in that the poorest countries are less likely to yield a payoff for the needed projects; and these are precisely the countries that the World Bank is designed and intended to help. On the other hand, the less risky projects, which could provide a positive revenue stream are likely to attract private capital.

9. The first cause of a crisis could be an imbalance in the economy. In other words, an

incongruity in economic fundamentals could cause a crisis. Possible indicators include theoretical divergences between various economic variables such as the exchange rate and interest rates, income, and money supply. In terms of evaluation, if fundamental economic variables seem to be out of line, there may be an impending crisis.

A second cause is that of self-fulfilling expectations and contagion effects. In this case,

mere expectations of a potential inability to maintain a specified exchange rate or a slight incongruity between economic conditions and the market exchange rate may cause a cascade of speculation that leads to a crisis. Since this is based on perception, it is difficult to find an indicator. One possible indicator would be trading volumes of currency for countries that may be at risk from the viewpoint of economic fundamentals. If trading volumes grew quickly, a crisis may be on the horizon.

Finally, the structural moral hazard problem may indicate a crisis. In this case, a credit rating bureau, such as Moody's may provide the data needed to indicate a potential crisis.

The quality of the credit rating would be relatively easily interpreted to indicate a potential crisis.

10. It can be argued that such below market interest rate loans are critical for a developing

nation's economy in order for the economy to grow unburdened by high interest payments when it is trying to funnel profits back into the economy and sustain growth. Conversely, providing these non-market rate loans can also be argued to distort the market for loanable funds and attract inefficient investment. Students' perspectives will vary as to which argument is the best.

Traditional Approaches to Exchange-Rate and Balance-Of-Payments Determination

A 1 percent depreciation of the Canadian dollar results in a 0.52 percent decline in imports demanded and a rise of 0.58 percent in exports supplied. 3. In absolute value, the smallest elasticity measure (most inelastic) is Germany’s elasticity

of import demand from the U.K. In absolute value, the largest elasticity measure (most elastic) is the United States’ elasticity of demand for imports from G ermany.

4. Table 8-1 provides measures of the price elasticity of import demand. If the U.S. dollar

depreciates relative to the Japanese yen, U.S. exports become relatively less expensive to Japanese consumers and Japanese exports become relatively more expensive to U.S. consumers.

a. The U.S. quantity of imports demanded from Japan falls by 1.13 percent.

b. Japan’s quantity of imports demanded from the U.S. rises by 0.72 percent.

c. Because U.S. exports rise and imports decline, the trade balance should improve.

5. The trade balance may not improve in the short-run because of pass-through and J-curve effects.

Over a longer time horizon, import demand is relative more elastic and the trade balance should improve. 6. If the Canadian dollar depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, then the quantity of hockey

pucks demanded declines. Hence, Slovakian manufacturers would have to absorb all of the exchange rate change in their profit margins and the price of hockey pucks would have to decline by 5 percent for the quantity demanded to remain unchanged.

7.

Using the values given in the problem:

a. real income, y, equals c + i + g + x = $23,500, absorption, a, equals c + i + g + im = $24,000.

b. Net exports, x - im, equals -$500. Therefore, there is a trade deficit of $500. 8.

Net exports now equal $550 - $950 = $400. The devaluation did improve the external balance. 9. The advertising campaign would induce consumers to increase expenditures on domestic output

and decrease expenditures on foreign output. Domestic absorption will rise and, if

expenditures on imports decrease, the trade balance improves.

10. As the U.S. economy expands, we would expect real income and real absorption to increase.

On the one hand, if real income increases more than real absorption, net exports will rise. This would lead to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar. If, on the other hand, real absorption rises faster than real income, net exports fall. This would lead to a depreciation of the U.S. dollar.

Chapter 9

Monetary and Portfolio Approaches to Exchange-Rate and Balance-of-Payments Determination

1. Using the formula provided on page 222, m(DC + FER) = kSP*y.

a. The money stock is 2($1,000 + $80) = $2,160 million.

b. The level of real income is: [2($1,000 + $80)]/[(0.20)(1.2)(2)] = $4,500 million.

2 An open market purchase of securities in the amount of $10 million:

a. A fixed exchange rate regime requires a decrease in foreign reserves in an equal amount.

Hence, this action results in a balance of payments deficit in the amount of $10 million.

b. A flexible exchange rate regime results in a new spot exchange rate of 2.019, which is

a depreciation of the domestic currency. This problem is solved by using the value for

real income derived in 5 b above: [(2($1,010 + 80)]/[(0.20)(1.2)($4,500)] = 2.019. 3. The wealth identity is given on page 229 as W≡ M + B+ SB*. An open market sale of securities

would reduce bank reserves, increasing the domestic interest rate. Individuals would shift from foreign bonds to domestic bonds, leading to an appreciation of the domestic currency.

Under a fixed exchange rate, the open market sale would result in an improvement of the domestic nation’s balance of payments. (The elasticity diagrams in Chapter 8 are useful in answering this question.)

4. This answer is an illustration of problem 3 under flexible exchange rates. The open market

sale would cause an increase in the demand for the domestic currency and the domestic currency would appreciate as a result.

5. The wealth identity is giv en on page 315 as W≡ M + B SB*. From the foreign nation it is

W ≡ M* + B* + (1/S)B. An open market sale of securities by the foreign central bank would reduce foreign bank reserves, increasing the foreign interest rate relative to the domestic interest rate. Individuals would shift from domestic bonds to foreign bonds, leading to an depreciation of the domestic currency.

Chapter11

Economic Policy with Fixed Exchange Rates

(Chose the right answers from the following 10 answers by yourself . SuGuangjin)

1. Achieving a balance-of-payments surplus requires that the sum of the capital account balance

and current account balance is positive, which requires a higher interest rate to attract greater capital inflows and lower real income to dampen import spending. Consequently, the BP schedule would lie above and to the left of the position it otherwise would have occupied if the external-balance objective were to ensure only a balance-of- payments equilibrium.

Undoubtedly, if the central bank felt pressure to sterilize under the latter objective, the pressure to do so would be greater if it seeks to attain a balance-of-payments surplus, which would require the central bank to steadily acquire foreign-exchange reserves. In the absence of sterilization, the nation's money stock would steadily decline.

2. In this situation, variations in the domestic interest rate relative to interest rates in

other nations would have not effect on the nation's capital account balance and its balance of payments. Its BP schedule, therefore, would be vertical. An expansionary fiscal policy, given a fixed exchange rate (as assumed in this chapter), would cause the IS schedule to shift rightward, initially inducing a rise in equilibrium real income. This, however, would cause import spending to increase, and the nation would experience a balance-of-payments deficit, which would place downward pressure on the value of its currency. To prevent a change in the exchange rate, the central bank would have to sell foreign exchange reserves. If this

intervention is unsterilized, then the nation's money stock would decline, ultimately causing the LM schedule to shift back too a final IS-LM equilibrium at a point vertically above the initial equilibrium point, along the vertical BP schedule.

3. A reduction in the quantity of money shifts the LM schedule leftward. At the new IS-LM

equilibrium, the nominal interest rate rises and real income declines. Irrespective of the shape of the BP schedule, this would result in a balance of payment surplus, which would tend to place upward pressure on the value of the nation's currency. To maintain a fixed exchange rate, the central bank would have to purchase foreign exchange reserves. If this

foreign-exchange-market intervention is unsterilized, then the nation's money stock

increases, causing the LM schedule to shift back to the right. Ultimately, the original IS-LM equilibrium is re-attained.

4. If capital is highly mobile, a drop in government spending will likely cause a private payments

deficit. The fall in income will cause a decrease in imports and a trade surplus. As the domestic interest rate increases, however, the capital outflow will lead to a private payments deficit. If capital is not mobile, the capital outflows are likely not large enough to counteract the effect of a drop in imports. Therefore, a private payments surplus would result.

5. A contractionary fiscal policy action, such as a reduction in government spending, causes

the IS schedule to shift leftward, inducing an initial decline in the nominal interest rate and reduction in real income. As a result, there is a capital outflow and fall in import spending. Because capital is highly mobile, the capital-outflow effect dominates, and the nation experiences a balance-of-payments deficit. This places downward pressure on the value of the nation's currency, which induces the central bank to sell foreign exchange reserves.

If this action is unsterilized, then the nation's money stock declines, causing the LM schedule to shift back to the left was well, which yields a new IS-LM equilibrium along the BP schedule to the left of the original equilibrium point.

6. If, on the other hand, there is low capital mobility, the nation experiences a

balance-of-payments surplus. This places upward pressure on the value of the nation's currency, which induces the central bank to purchase foreign exchange reserves. If this action is unsterilized, then the nation's money stock rises, causing the LM schedule to shift to the right.

7. A foreign fiscal contraction leads to the foreign IS schedule to shift to the left, resulting

in a lower y* and r*. Financial resources will flow from the foreign country to the domestic country, placing pressure on the domestic currency to gain value. In response, therefore, the domestic central bank purchases foreign exchange to maintain the fixed exchange rate.

Consequently, the domestic money supply rises, leading the domestic country's LM schedule to shift rightward. The lower foreign income level also leads to lower domestic exports (few foreign imports). Therefore, the domestic country's IS schedule shifts left and the foreign country's IS schedule shifts to the right. In both countries' graphs, the BP schedule shifts down to reflect lower interest rates.

8. A domestic fiscal contraction leads to a leftward shift in the domestic IS schedule, resulting

in a lower domestic income level and interest rate. Consequently, domestic imports fall (foreign exports fall). Further, as foreign exports fall, the foreign IS schedule shifts left and decreases foreign income. In turn, domestic exports fall and domestic IS schedule shifts further left. The lower domestic interest rate leads to a capital outflow of the domestic country and puts pressure on the value of the domestic currency to fall. The domestic central bank responds by selling foreign exchange in order to maintain the fixed exchange

rate. As the domestic money supply falls, the domestic LM schedule shifts to the left. Finally, both countries' BP lines shift down to the new lower equilibrium interest rate.

9. A domestic monetary expansion shifts the domestic LM schedule rightward, which reduces the

domestic interest rate. This tends to induce a domestic balance-of-payments deficit and places downward pressure on the value of the domestic currency relative to the foreign currency.

Now, both central banks work together to keep the exchange rate unchanged, so the foreign central bank must increase its own money stock, shifting its LM schedule to the right and reducing the equilibrium foreign interest rate as well. In the end, therefore, both BP schedules shift downward, and the nations' interest rates are equalized, so payments

imbalances are eliminated. Equilibrium real income rises in both nations, so there is a locomotive effect on the foreign country as a result of the domestic monetary expansion, assuming unchanging price levels.

10. A domestic fiscal expansion causes the domestic IS schedule to shift to the right, which raises

the domestic interest rate. This tends to induce a domestic balance-of-payments surplus and places upward pressure on the value of the domestic currency relative to the foreign currency.

Both central banks work together to keep the exchange rate fixed, so the foreign central bank must reduce its own money stock, shifting its LM schedule leftward and increasing the foreign interest rate as well. In the end, both BP schedules shift upward, and the nations' interest rates are equalized, so payments imbalances are eliminated. Equilibrium real income rises in the domestic country but declines in the foreign country. Thus, there is a

beggar-thy-neighbor effect on the foreign country as a result of the domestic fiscal expansion, assuming unchanging price levels.

Chapter12

Economic Policy with Floating Exchange Rates

1. A currency depreciation leads to a rise in exports. To maintain a balance-of-payment

equilibrium, the nominal interest rate must decline, to induce an inflow of financial asset, or real income must rise, to induce a rise in imports. Consequently, the BP schedule, or set of interest rate-real income combinations that yield balance-of-payments equilibrium, must lie down and to the right of its previous position following a depreciation of the home currency.

2. An expansionary fiscal policy action, such as an increase in government expenditures, shifts

the IS schedule rightward along the LM schedule, inducing a rise in equilibrium real income and spurring import spending. Because capital is perfectly immobile, this unambiguously causes a balance-of-payments deficit, which result is a rightward shift of the BP schedule to a crossing point at the final IS-LM equilibrium, with a higher level of real income.

3. The IS schedule shifts to the left as government spending falls. Given the low capital

mobility, there will likely be a private balance-of-payments surplus, resulting in a currency appreciation. Net exports consequently will fall which serves to shift the IS schedule further to the left at the same time as the BP schedule shifts to the left. As a result, the equilibrium interest rate and income level both fall.

4. The contractionary monetary policy shifts the LM schedule up. Given high capital mobility,

this will likely lead to a private balance-of-payments surplus. Thus, the currency will appreciate which will shift the BP line up and the IS schedule left. Thus, income falls and the interest rate rises.

5. As foreign government spending contracts, the foreign IS schedule shifts left. this results

in lower foreign income and interest rates. Capital will flow from the foreign economy to the domestic economy, which puts pressure on the foreign currency to lose value. As a result, domestic exports fall and imports rise (i.e., the domestic IS schedule shifts left) while at the same time foreign exports rise and imports fall (foreign IS shifts right). At the same time, the private balance of payments line shifts down such that each economy is in equilibrium at lower interest rates and lower income levels.

6. As the domestic government spending falls, the domestic IS schedule shifts left. As a result,

domestic income and interest rates fall. There is a capital outflow to the foreign economy and consequently the domestic currency loses value. Net exports rise in the domestic economy and net exports fall in the foreign economy. Thus, the domestic IS schedule shifts partially back to the right and the foreign IS schedule shifts to the left.

7. A rise in Japanese government spending and a Japanese tax cut would have caused the Japanese

IS schedule to shift to the right, driving up Japan's nominal interest rate. This would have induced a capital inflow into Japan, which with near-perfect capital mobility would have caused Japan to experience a balance-of-payments surplus, resulting in a rise in the value of the yen. This, along with the rise in Japanese real income that would have resulted, would have induced Japanese residents to purchase more U.S. export goods, causing the U.S. IS schedule to shift rightward, thereby pushing the U.S. interest rate upward and expanding equilibrium U.S. real income. Hence, this request was in the interest of the United States if its goal was to raise its own real income level.

8. An expansionary monetary policy action in Japan would have raised equilibrium real income

but would have led to a depreciation of the yen. If the effect of higher real income on Japanese spending on U.S. export goods would have been greater than the negative effect on such spending of the lower value of the yen, then this policy action also would have been advantageous for the United States.

9. As discussed in this chapter, fixing exchange rates does not eliminate the potential for risks

resulting from devaluations or revaluations. The fact that so many realignments occurred indicates that individuals and firms would have continued to face this type of risk in a Western European regime of fixed exchange rates.

10. Variability in government spending causes the IS schedule to shift to the right or left. Under

a fixed exchange rate, unsterilized monetary interventions to stabilize the exchange rate

ultimately induce LM shifts that reinforce the real-income effects of IS variations. Under

a floating exchange rate, however, movements in the exchange rate cause net export

expenditures to move in the opposite directions from variations in government spending, which automatically tends to stabilize the IS schedule's position. Thus, in this situation in which money demand is relatively stable, a floating exchange rate is more consistent, as compared with a fixed exchange rate, with real-income stability.

金融学第次作业及答案

《金融学》作业 说明: 1、根据《金融学》课程的学科特点,未设置客观题。由于金融学与实践联系较为紧密, 因此在部分章节后设置了开放式学习题,要求学生在课外通过查阅相关资料,对金融的热点问题进行分析和思考,开放式学习题将作为考核中论述题的主要来源,且随着金融热点的变化而不断更新,可能会超出习题集的范围。 2、所有开放式学习题属于选做作业,其他题目属于必做作业。 3、作业集的参考答案中部分题目以提供要点为限。部分习题的详细答案请参见课件。第一章:金融学导论 1、为什么说金融与我们的生活息息相关,试举几个生活中与金融相关的例子。 答:金融不仅是宏观的金融系统的概念,同时也是与我们微观的经济主体紧密联系着的。我们如果有资产需要投资,或者是需要借钱,这两种基本的行为都与金融有关。举例如下:旅游与信用卡、电子商务与e支付(淘宝网);投资渠道的多样性:股票基金国债;住房买车与按揭等。 2、金融学在国外被称为货币、银行与金融市场,那么为什么要研究货币为什么要研究银行为什么要研究金融市场 答:货币与商业周期、物价水平、通货膨胀、利率、货币政策都有紧密的关系。银行作为金融体系的核心组成部分,为投资部门和储蓄部门的资金融通提供了中介桥梁,同时银行也是金融创新的源泉。金融市场在金融系统中的比重越来越大,是直接融资的主要场所。金融市场改变着个人的财富分配,影响着企业的行为,是资源配置的有效场所。 3、开放式学习题:我国近几年的宏观经济情况如何近几年的金融总体运行情况如何衡量宏观经济和金融运行情况一般采用哪些指标 答:我国近几年宏观经济的总体评价是:经济运行平稳,经济高速增长总量迅速增长,但通货膨胀有所抬头。金融领域中以M1、M2衡量的货币流动性较大,实际利率有时为负,同时外汇储备成为世界第一。衡量宏观经济的指标一般有:GDP、GDP增长率、城镇登记失业率、外商直接投资额、CPI等。衡量金融运行的主要指标:流动性(M1、M2)以及增长率、城镇居民储蓄余额、金融机构存贷款总额、人民币汇率、外汇储备总额、股市市值等。 第二章:货币、货币制度与信用 1、名词解释:M2 CD NOW :广义货币,大致包括现金+活期存款+定期存款。 M 2 CD:可转让大额定期存单,是由美国花期银行1961年创造的一项金融工具。CD是在银行定期存款的凭据上注明存款金额、期限、利率,到期持有人提取本金和利息的一种债务凭证。 NOW:可转让提款通知书帐户。一种不使用支票的支票帐户。开立这种存款帐户,存户可以随时开出支付命令书,或直接提现,或直接向第三者支付,其存款余额可取得利息。这种帐户是70年代美国商业银行在利率管制条件下,为竞争存款而出现的一种金融创新。 2、简述货币的职能。 答:货币的职能:价值尺度、流通手段、贮藏手段、支付手段和世界货币。

金融服务营销案例分析参考答案 1. Nationwide 四、Case Analysis(共20题,(1)10分,(2)10分), 以下答案仅供参考,只要学生答案能够自圆其说,就可以给满分 1. Main plots from the case; sentences related directly to your analysis below (10 marks) (1)Nationwide has adopted a distinctive position designed to show its members and others that its responsibilities as a building society go beyond simply pursuing commercial interests. (2)When Nationwide and Anglia merged in 1987, the new organization had a larger branch network than any other society, not only in the UK but in the whole world. (3)As building societies do not have to pay dividends to shareowners, they do not need to generate the same level of profit that banks require in order to pay dividends to shareowners. As a result, building societies are able to charge less to borrowers and pay more to savers. Building societies that have become banks are able to raise money more easily and to take on new and different lines of business, but they also take on additional obligations to shareowners that alter the way in which they can set about doing business. (4)Whereas in a mutual organization its owners are also its customers, the shareowners of a public limited company are much more divorced from the business. (5) Whilst the key to making sufficiently high profits involves being very good at providing what the customer wants, for public limited companies it can also involve setting prices that reflect a need of high margins. As a mutual organization and without the need to satisfy shareowners, Nationwide is free to adopt a different business approach. It looks to deliver value for its members by setting low margins. (6)The core of the business include a responsibility to members that enables Nationwide to offer services that compete with banks but at a lower cost because dividends do not have to be paid to shareowners. Staying mutual enables such organizations to retain their ability to serve members in a way that these members clearly value. This includes offering services that are inclusive and local. (7) To compete in the market place, many of these newly-formed banking organizations have had to reduce their cost base. Measures taken have included reducing branch networks and maximizing the use of technologies to provide customers with forms of service that require little or no human contact. These measure have also led to marked reductions in staff levels, including redundancies. By contrast, Nationwide has, to all intents and purposes, retained its branch network whilst at the same time developing its online services. 2.Theories or suggestions extracted from textbook,including analysis and your suggestions (10 marks)(这一部分可以用中文回答) (1) Value = benefits – financial cost – other user’s cost The core of the business include a responsibility to members that enables Nationwide to

第2章 基本框架 2.1 U(c) 和V (c) 是两个效用函数,c2 R n+,且V (x) = f(U(x)),其中f(¢) 是一正单调 函数。证明这两个效用函数表示了相同的偏好。 解.假设U(c)表示的偏好关系为o,那么8c1; c22R N+有 U(c1) ? U(c2) , c1 o c2 而f(¢)是正单调函数,因而 V (c1) = f(U(c1)) ? f(U(c2)) = V (c2) , U(c1) ? U(c2) 因此V(c1)?V(c2),c1oc2,即V(c)表示的偏好也是o。 2.2* 在 1 期,经济有两个可能状态a和b,它们的发生概率相等: a b 考虑定义在消费计划c= [c0;c1a;c1b]上的效用函数: U(c) = log c0 + 1 (log c1a + log c1b) 2 3′ U(c) = 1 c01?°+21 1 c11a?°+ 1 c11b?°1?°1?°1?° U(c) = ?e?ac0?21? e?ac0+e?ac0 ¢ 证明它们满足:不满足性、连续性和凸性。 解.在这里只证明第一个效用函数,可以类似地证明第二、第三个效用函数的性质。 (a) 先证明不满足性。假设c?c0,那么 有c0 ? c00; c1a ? c01a; c1b ? c01b 而log(¢)是单调增函数,因此有 log(c0) ? log(c00); log(c1a) ? log(c01a); log(c1b) ? log(c01b) 因而U(c)?U(c0),即coc0。
