Study Notes

Capital Outflow and Demand for Funds

  • Positive net capital outflow indicates other countries are purchasing domestic assets, raising demand for domestic loanable funds.
  • If a country is net purchasing assets abroad, demand for domestic loanable funds decreases.

Interest Rates and Loanable Funds

  • At a real interest rate of 7%, a surplus of $60 billion occurs.
  • If quantity of loanable funds supplied exceeds quantity demanded, a surplus occurs, leading to a drop in interest rates.
  • Higher real interest rates lead to increased quantity of loanable funds supplied.

Trade Policies and Balance

  • Trade policies do not affect trade balance as they do not influence national saving or domestic investment.
  • Imposing import quotas increases the demand for dollars in foreign-currency exchange, but does not raise demand for loanable funds.

Loanable Funds Supply

  • A country with national saving of $60 billion, government expenditures of $40 billion, domestic investment of $10 billion, and net capital outflow of $45 billion, has a supply of loanable funds equal to $60 billion.

Government Budget Deficits

  • A government budget deficit causes real interest rates to rise, crowding out domestic investment and leading to currency appreciation, resulting in a trade balance deficit.

Effects of Capital Flight

  • Capital flight in the foreign-currency exchange market leads to a rightward shift in the supply curve.

Tariffs and Import Effects

  • The introduction of higher tariffs on imports, such as those on steel in 2002 by the United States, is expected to result in reduced imports according to the open-economy macroeconomic model.
