Question: 1. For each of the following situations, use the IS-LM-FX model to illustrate the effects of the shock and the policy response.
Note: Assume the government responds by using monetary policy to stabilize output, unlike question 3, and assume the exchange rate is floating. For each case, state the effect of the shock on the following variables (increase, decrease, no change, or ambiguous): Y, i, E, C, I, and TB.
a. Foreign output decreases.
b. Investors expect a depreciation of the home currency.
c. The money supply increases.
d. Government spending increases.
2. Repeat the previous question, assuming the central bank responds in order to maintain a fixed exchange rate. In which case or cases will the government response be the same as in the previous question?
