Question

Economic expansion throughout the rest of the world raises the world interest rate. Use the Mundell–Fleming model to illustrate graphically the impact of an increase in the world interest rate on the exchange rate and level of output in a small open economy with a floating-exchange- rate system.
Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the curves; iii. the initial equilibrium levels; iv. the direction the curves shift; and v. the new short-run equilibrium.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

The fiscal expansion in the rest of the world will lead to an increase in the world interest rate and a decrease in the domestic investment.

As a result, a rise in the world interest rate will lead to an increase in the national income and also lower the nominal exchange rate.
