1. The document discusses macroeconomic models of open economies, focusing on the markets for loanable funds and foreign currency exchange.
2. In the loanable funds market, interest rates adjust to balance the supply and demand for savings. In the foreign exchange market, exchange rates adjust to balance the supply and demand for foreign currency.
3. These two markets are connected through net capital flows, and prices in both markets simultaneously reach equilibrium, determining outcomes for key macroeconomic variables.
The document summarizes the key aspects of a macroeconomic model of an open economy. It discusses the important macroeconomic variables, the basic assumptions, and how the markets for loanable funds and foreign currency exchange work. Equilibrium is achieved when supply and demand are balanced in both markets, determining outcomes for variables like national saving, investment, and net exports. Government policies and economic or political instability can impact these markets and alter equilibrium.
Open-Economy Macroeconomics: Basic ConceptsChris Thomas
This document provides an overview of key concepts in open-economy macroeconomics. It defines open and closed economies, and describes how an open economy interacts through international trade and financial flows. It explains exports, imports, the trade balance, and factors that influence them. It also discusses net capital flows, interest rates, and the relationship between saving, investment, and international flows. Finally, it introduces nominal and real exchange rates, and the theory of purchasing power parity.
This document summarizes the key variables and markets in an open economy macroeconomic model. It discusses how the market for loanable funds and the foreign exchange market interact to determine equilibrium interest rates, exchange rates, saving, investment, and net capital flows. Government budget deficits increase interest rates and cause currency appreciation by reducing the supply of loanable funds. Trade policies like import quotas affect the exchange rate but not overall trade balances. Political instability can trigger capital flight, increasing interest rates and depreciating the currency.
The document discusses how monetary and fiscal policy can influence aggregate demand. It explains that monetary policy works through interest rates, affecting money supply and demand. Fiscal policy involves changing government spending and taxes. Both can shift aggregate demand curves, countering economic fluctuations. However, policy effects are debated as actions may lag and destabilize the economy. The multiplier amplifies fiscal policy while crowding-out dampens its effects. Overall, the document provides an overview of how and why governments use monetary and fiscal tools to stabilize output and employment.

Saving, Investment, and the Financial SystemChris Thomas
This document discusses the financial system and financial institutions in the US economy. It explains that the financial system consists of institutions that match savers and borrowers. It identifies key financial markets like the stock and bond markets, and intermediaries like banks and mutual funds. It also discusses how government policies on taxes, deficits, and debt can influence saving, investment, and interest rates in the market for loanable funds.

This document discusses financial institutions and markets that coordinate saving and investment. It describes how savers provide funds to borrowers through both direct financial markets like the stock and bond markets, as well as indirect financial intermediaries like banks and mutual funds. The financial system matches savings with investments and determines interest rates through the market for loanable funds, where the supply of saved funds meets demand from borrowers. Government policies around taxes, spending, and deficits can impact incentives for saving and investment and shift supply and demand in this market.

- The foreign exchange market involves the trading of one country's currency for another. It determines exchange rates through supply and demand.
- In the long run, exchange rates are determined by theories like purchasing power parity which says exchange rates will adjust over time to reflect differences in inflation. The law of one price also applies to keep identical goods priced the same globally.
- In the short run, exchange rates are the price of one country's bank deposits in terms of another's. The current and expected future exchange rates determine demand for each country's deposits and set the equilibrium exchange rate where supply meets demand.
The document discusses the U.S. financial system and how it coordinates saving and investment. It describes how financial institutions like banks and markets direct resources from savers to borrowers. It also explains how government policies on taxes, deficits, and investment credits can influence interest rates, saving, and investment in the market for loanable funds.
A Macroeconomic Theory of the Open EconomyTuul Tuul
1. The document describes macroeconomic models of an open economy, including the market for loanable funds and the market for foreign currency exchange.
2. The market for loanable funds balances the supply and demand for savings, which depends on the real interest rate. The market for foreign currency exchange balances the demand for dollars for net exports and supply from net foreign investment at the equilibrium real exchange rate.
3. Government budget deficits and trade policies like import quotas can impact these markets. A budget deficit reduces savings and increases interest rates, lowering net foreign investment and appreciating the currency. An import quota appreciates the currency without changing other variables.
This document provides an overview of short-run economic fluctuations by discussing key concepts like aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the business cycle. It notes that most macroeconomic variables fluctuate together in the short-run as the economy expands and contracts. The document also introduces the basic model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to explain these fluctuations, showing how the AD curve slopes downward and the AS curve slopes upward in the short-run due to various factors like price rigidities. It explores how shifts in AD and AS can affect output and inflation in both the short-run and long-run.
This document discusses short-run economic fluctuations using the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model. It explains that in the short-run, the aggregate supply curve slopes upward due to sticky wages and prices. Shifts in aggregate demand or supply can cause fluctuations in output and unemployment. Recessions occur when aggregate demand decreases, causing output and employment to fall.
The document discusses key concepts in open-economy macroeconomics. It defines net exports, net capital outflow, and the relationship between the two. It also explains nominal and real exchange rates, and how the theory of purchasing power parity posits that exchange rates should adjust to equalize purchasing power across countries.
The document discusses international trade and the factors that determine whether a country imports or exports a good. It examines the effects of free trade, tariffs, and import quotas. The key points are:
- A country will export goods for which it has a comparative advantage and import goods where other countries have a comparative advantage.
- Free trade benefits consumers in importing countries and producers in exporting countries while harming producers in importing countries and consumers in exporting countries.
- Tariffs and import quotas reduce trade and welfare by creating deadweight losses. They benefit domestic producers at the expense of domestic consumers.
The document discusses key concepts in open-economy macroeconomics. It defines open and closed economies and explains that open economies interact through international trade and capital flows. It describes how goods and capital move across borders through exports, imports and net exports as well as foreign investment and net capital outflows. These international flows are determined by economic factors like prices, incomes and exchange rates. The document also introduces purchasing power parity theory which posits that exchange rates should adjust so that currencies have equal purchasing power in different countries.
The document discusses gross domestic product (GDP) as a key measure of economic activity. It defines GDP as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within an economy in a given period. GDP equals the sum of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. While GDP is an important indicator of economic well-being, it does not capture all factors like leisure time, environmental quality, and non-market activities. The document also distinguishes nominal GDP based on current prices versus real GDP using constant prices adjusted for inflation.
Money Growth and Inflation in Macro EconomicsAqib Syed
The document discusses the classical theory of inflation. It defines inflation as a rise in the overall price level and explains that according to the quantity theory of money, inflation is primarily caused by growth in the money supply. When the money supply increases, it causes the price level to rise proportionately unless output or velocity rises as well. The document also outlines some costs of inflation like shoe leather costs and tax distortions.

The document discusses macroeconomic concepts including gross domestic product (GDP). It defines GDP as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period. GDP is made up of consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports. While GDP measures economic output, it does not account for all factors that affect well-being.

The document discusses key concepts in macroeconomics including:
1) The balance of payments records a country's economic transactions with other nations, including exports/imports and capital inflows/outflows to maintain equilibrium.
2) Current accounts track tangible goods and services trade, while capital accounts track short-and long-term capital movements.
3) Official reserves are used to address disequilibriums in the balance of payments.
The document discusses key concepts in open-economy macroeconomics. It defines open and closed economies, and describes the international flows of goods and capital between open economies. These include exports, imports, net exports, and net capital outflow. It also discusses factors that influence these flows, including exchange rates, prices, savings, and investment. The purchasing power parity theory of exchange rate determination is introduced, which posits that exchange rates should adjust to equalize the purchasing power of currencies between countries.
International economics deals with the economic relations among nations. The resulting interdependence is very important to the economic well-being of most nations of the world and is on the increase. The economic relations among nations differ from the economic relations among the various part of a nation. This gives rise to different problems, requiring somewhat different tools of analysis, and justifies International Economics as a distinct and separate branch of “Applied” Economics.
International economics deals with
1) The Pure Theory of Trade. This examines the basis for trade and the gains from trade.
2) The Theory of Commercial Policy. This studies the reasons for and the results of obstructions to the free flow of trade.
3) The Balance of Payments. This examines a nation’s total payments to and total receipts from the rest of the world. These involve the exchange of one currency with others.
4) Adjustment in the Balance of Payments. This deals with the mechanism of adjustment to balance of payments disequilibria under different international monetary systems.
This document provides an overview of a country's balance of payments. It defines the balance of payments as a systematic record of all economic transactions between residents of a country and foreign countries over a period of time, usually annually. It notes that the balance of payments has two sides, credits and debits, with receipts recorded on the credit side and payments on the debit side. It also distinguishes between different types of transactions that affect the current account and capital account and discusses using balance of payments data to analyze a country's economic strength and identify needed policy measures.
This document discusses international trade and the effects of free trade versus trade restrictions. It begins by examining the determinants of trade, explaining that a country will export goods where it has a comparative advantage over other countries as indicated by a domestic price below the world price. For goods where a country lacks comparative advantage and the domestic price is above world levels, the country will import. Free trade increases overall welfare by allowing for gains from trade, though some domestic producers may lose. The document then analyzes the effects of trade restrictions like tariffs and quotas, finding they reduce imports, benefit domestic producers but harm consumers, and create deadweight losses that lower total welfare.
1. A budget deficit decreases the supply of loanable funds, raising interest rates and reducing investment.
2. Lower investment decreases net capital outflow, appreciating the currency.
3. Capital flight has the opposite effects, increasing rates and depreciating the currency through increased outflows and loan demand.
This document provides an overview of balance of payments concepts including:
- Definitions of the balance of payments and its components such as the current account and capital account.
- How the balance of payments works as a source and use of funds statement.
- Factors that influence the current account such as exchange rates, income, government policies, and expectations.
- Exposure related to the capital account from currency exchange rate movements and interest rate changes.
- Different exchange rate arrangements countries use such as floating rates, pegs, currency boards, and dollarization.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

2. Elemental Economics - Mineral demand.pdfNeal Brewster
After this second you should be able to: Explain the main determinants of demand for any mineral product, and their relative importance; recognise and explain how demand for any product is likely to change with economic activity; recognise and explain the roles of technology and relative prices in influencing demand; be able to explain the differences between the rates of growth of demand for different products.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
