Homework 8 Introduction to Macroeconomics ECO221 Fall 2021 Instructor Wenner Points 20 Due Sunday, Nov. 14, 11:59 pm Chapter 35 1. Using supply and demand curves for both the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen, show how the following events would affect the exchange rate between the two currencies, under a system of floating rates. (That is to say, show the exchange rate changes from both the Japanese and the American perspectives. In your supply and demand diagrams have Price of Dollar in Yen on y axis in one graph and Price of Yen in Dollar on the y axis of second graph, then draw your S and D curves for number of Dollars on x axis in first graph and Number of Yen on second graph on x axis. Remember you are looking at the same situation from two different perceptions American first graph, Japanese second graph.) a)The Japanese GDP grows faster than the American. b)The American inflation rate exceeds the Japanese, c)Responding to new models, American consumers shift their preferences from imported Japanese automobiles to domestically produced automobiles. d)The Bank of Japan tightens its monetary policy to raise interest rates. e)There is an increased flow of Japanese investment funds into the United States. Chapter 36 1. Initially, real interest rates in the United States, England, and Japan are all equal, at 5 percent. Then the central banks alter their policies, so that the American interest rate rises to 6 percent, the Japanese rate falls to 4 percent, and the British rate stays at 5 percent. a)How would you predict that capital flows among the three countries would change? b)Using supply and demand curves, show how the exchange rates are likely to change. c)How do you expect the balance of trade in the three countries to change? 2. If the U.S. government tried to raise the rate of national economic growth much higher than the growth rate of the rest of the world’s economy, how would the international trade sector transmit inflationary pressures to the U.S. economy? If the rest of the world raised its growth rate to the high American level, would these inflationary pressures persist? Use supply and demand curves for the dollar to explain your answer. What do you conclude about the desirability of coordinating economic policies among trading partners?

When Japan GDP grows faster than US, people will tend to invest in Japan for better returns. The demand for Yen will increase and shift to the right. As a result, the dollar price for yen will increase. People have to pay more dollars to buy one yen. The exchange rate for dollar/yen has increased from E0 to E1. Yen will appreciate against dollar.
Now due to appreciation of Yen, US people have to pay more dollars to buy Japanese goods and services. Many Americans would like to convert the dollar into yen. In the foreign exchange market, the supply of dollar will increase. It will to reduce the yen price for dollar. As a result, dollar will depreciate against yen.
        b)    The American inflation rate exceeds the Japanese,
If American inflation rate exceeds Japanese inflation, then buying power of dollar is decreasing. International investors are less eager to hold the dollar. Thus, a rise in inflation in United States would lead to shift the demand curve for dollar to the left. And supply to increase from SS to SS1. Both movements of demand and supply of dollar would cause the dollar to depreciate. But the amount of quantity traded of dollar remains indeterminant, it depends upon the relative magnitude shift of the demand and supply.
