Q

What are three things that contribute to the fact that in the short run, nominal exchange rates are difficult to predict?

  1. movements due to __________ price level __________ (and hence anticipated changed in exchange rates)
  2. different _______ and ________ influence expectations day to day, making the _________ exchange rate movements more ________ than average goods prices
  3. reflect __________ in global ________ for domestic assets - in this case, prices follow average exchange rate movements
A
  1. movements due to current price level differences (and hence anticipated changed in exchange rates)
  2. different news and events influence expectations day to day, making the nominal exchange rate movements more volatile than average goods prices
  3. reflect fluctuations in global demand for domestic assets - in this case, prices follow average exchange rate movements

Q

When can loanable funds become a net capital outflow?

A

17
Q

The NCO is a potential home for ________ _________ in NZ to exit and go and satisfy investment __________ in Australia

A

The NCO is a potential home for loanable funds in NZ to exit and go and satisfy investment demand in Australia

18

19
Q

The purchase of a capital asset by a domestic resident adds to the ________ for loanable funds, regardless of whether the asset is located at home (_______) or abroad (_______)

A

demand

I
NCO

20
Q

What happens if NCO > 0?

A

there is a net outflow of capital from NZ which adds to the demand fro domestically generated loanable funds

21
Q

What happens if NCO < 0?

A

there is a net inflow of capital from NZ which reduces the demand for domestically generated loanable funds

22
Q

The supply and demand for loanable funds depend on the what?

A

real interest rate

23
Q

What is the effect on the supply and demand for loanable funds and the NCO when the real interest rate increases?

A

This increases the supply of loanable funds (from investment) and decreases the demand for loanable funds, and reduces the NCO

24
Q

What is on each axis in the market for loanable funds?

A

On the y axis, there is the real interest rate and on the x axis, there is the quantity of loanable funds

25
Q

What is on each axis on the NCO graph?

A

On the y axis, there is the real interest rate and on the x axis, there is the NCO

26
Q

What is the effect of an increase in the real interest rate on the NCO?

A

That is going to discourage outflows because it is less attractive to send funds out of NZ, and encourage inflows because it is more attractive to send funds into NZ (overall lower NCO)
* opposite is true for a decrease in real interest rates

27
Q

What is capital flight?

A

For whatever the interest rate happens to be, the NCO increased because people are bailing from the NZ economy and so you might swap money for another currency.

28
Q

The smaller the country and the more “connected” or open it is to the rest of the world, the more ________ NCO will be

A

elastic

29
