Question

The chapter notes that the rise in the U.S. trade deficit during the 1980s was due largely to the rise in the U.S. budget deficit. On the other hand, some in the popular press have claimed that the increased trade deficit resulted from a decline in the quality of U.S. products relative to foreign products.

This caused net exports at any given exchange rate to increase/decrease?
