Re: IT Doubts

Homer Simpson
Exchange rates are fixed. If domestic inflation is higher than foreign inflation, then net exports will fall.
a) True
b) False
c) Uncertain

Imagine an economy described by these behavioral equations and parameters:

Ct = 120 + 0.4(Yt - T)
I = 40 - 54it
G = 20
T = 45
Yt+1 = Ct+ It + G
(M/P)α = Y/i + 6.1
θ = 1/8,P = 1,W = 5

Write down the expression for the IS curve by analyzing the equilibrium in the market for goods.
