Effects of September 11
Response to the following problem:
Within a few days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, the Federal Reserve reduced short-term interest rates to stimulate the U.S. economy.
How might this action have affected the foreign flow of funds into the United States and affected the value of the dollar?
How could such an effect on the dollar have increased the probability that the U.S. economy would strengthen?
