Refer to the following model of the economy for Q1-Q4 Consider the following Mundell-Fleming short-run model of a small open economy under floating exchange rates given in equations (1)-(9). Assume there is perfect capital mobility so that the domestic interest rate equals the world interest rate, i.e., r = r*. The nominal exchange rate is denoted by e. (1) C = (2) I = (4) G = 200 (5) T = 100 230+ 0.8 (Y - T); 234- 30 r (6) NX = 120 - 50 ( P/P*)e (7) PE = C + I + G + NX (7) Y = PE Goods market equilibrium Md (8) = 2Y - 40 r P Md = MS P Money market equilibrium Suppose that the central bank sets the nominal money supply MS=2000 and that P =2. Also suppose that the foreign price P*= 1 while the world interest rate r* = 6. 1. The equilibrium output level in this economy Y eq is given by A) Yeq = 370 B) Yeq = 620 C) Yeq=1120 D) Yeq = 1620 2. The equilibrium exchange rate e q is given by: A) e eq 4 and we have a trade deficit B) e eq = 3.5 and we have a trade deficit C) e eq=2 and we have a trade surplus D) e q = 4.5 and we have a trade deficit 3. Consider a monetary expansion: If the CB (central bank) decides to increase the money supply so that Ms = 3000, then A) equilibrium output will stay the same, but the exchange rate will increase (appreciate) increasing the trade surplus B) equilibrium output will stay the same, but the exchange rate will fall (depreciate) reducing the trade surplus. C) equilibrium output will rise by 500 units and the exchange rate will fall (depreciate) by 1 unit reducing the trade deficit by 200 units.
