Cause the person needs to sell her dollars to obtain the foreign currency she needs to buy the imports

37
Q

Disentangling Supply and Demand: Why does the demand for dollars decrease when a Canadian resident buys imported goods?

A

Cause the increase in imports reduces NX, which we think of as the demand for dollars. ( so, NX is really the net demand for dollars)

A

Affects both, but it’s more convenient to use #2

Cause the foreigner needs dollars in order to purchase the Canadian asset

40
Q

Disentangling Supply and Demand: Why does the supply of dollars fall when a foreigner buys a Canadian asset?

A

Cause the transaction reduces NCO, which we think of as the supply of dollars.
(So, NCO is really the net supply of dollars)

41
Q

In the market for foreign-currency exchange, what does NX equal when the government budget is balanced, and trade is balanced?

A

NX=0

42
Q

In the foreign-currency exchange graph, what happens to NX, r and NCO when the government runs a budget deficit?

Q

The five effects of a budget deficit?

  3. Domestic investment and net capital outflow both fall
  4. The real exchange rate appreciates
