Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Open-Economy Macroeconomics: Basic Concepts
* Closed Economy
* Open Economy
•Flow of good
  •exports
   -goods/services
   -produced domestically
   -sold abroad
  •imports
   -produced abroad
   -sold domestically
  •net exports/ trade balance
   -value of nation's exports
   -minus value of imports
  •trade surplus
   -excess of exports over imports
  •trade deficit
   -imports over exports
  •balanced trade
   -exports equal imports
 •Factors
   -tastes of consumers
   -prices of goods home and abroad
   -exchange rates
   -incomes of consumers
   -cost of transporting goods from country to country
   -gov't policies toward international trade
•Flow of financial resources
  •Net Capital Outflow
   -purchase of foreign assets by domestic residents
   -minus the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners
  •Variables that influence net capital outflow
   -real interest rates paid on foreign and domestic assets
   -perceived economic and political risks of holding assets abroad
   -government policies that affect foreign ownership of domestic assets
•Equality of NX & NCO
  •NX
    -imbalance between exports and imports
  •NCO
    -imbalance between amount of foreign assets and amount of domestic assets
  •NCO=NX
 •When NX>0 (trade surplus)
  -selling more good and services to foreigners than buying from them
 •When NX<0 (trade deficit)
  -buying more goods and services from foreigners than selling to them
 •Open Economy: Y=C+I+G+NX
 •Savings: S=Y-C-G
                  S=I+NX
 •NX=NCO
  -S=I+NCO
  -Saving= Domestic Investment+Net Capital Outflow
 •Trade Surplus: Exports>Imports
  -NX>0; Y>C+I+G; S>I; NCO>0
 •Balanced Trade: Exports=Imports
  -NX=0; Y=C+I+G; S=0; NCO=0
 •Trade Deficits: Exports<Imports
  -NX<0; Y<C+I+G; S<0; NCO<0
