1、OPEN-ECONOMY MACROECONOMICS: BASIC CONCEPTS 31 TITLE * MERGEFORMAT WHATS NEW IN THE SEVENTH EDITION:There is a new In the News feature on The Changing Nature of U.S. Exports and an updated presentation of the U.S. trade deficit.LEARNING OBJECTIVES:By the end of this chapter, students should understa

2、nd: how net exports measure the international flow of goods and services. how net capital outflow measures the international flow of capital. why net exports must always equal net foreign investment. how saving, domestic investment, and net capital outflow are related. the meaning of the nominal exc

3、hange rate and the real exchange rate. purchasing-power parity as a theory of how exchange rates are determined.CONTEXT AND PURPOSE:Chapter 18 is the first chapter in a two-chapter sequence dealing with open-economy macroeconomics. Chapter 18 develops the basic concepts and vocabulary associated wit

4、h macroeconomics in an international setting: net exports, net capital outflow, real and nominal exchange rates, and purchasing-power parity. The next chapter, Chapter 19, builds an open-economy macroeconomic model that shows how these variables are determined simultaneously.第 299 頁The purpose of Ch

5、apter 18 is to develop the basic concepts macroeconomists use to study open economies. It addresses why a nations net exports must equal its net capital outflow. It also addresses the concepts of the real and nominal exchange rate and develops a theory of exchange rate determination known as purchas

6、ing-power parity.KEY POINTS: Net exports are the value of domestic goods and services sold abroad (exports) minus the value of foreign goods and services sold domestically (imports). Net capital outflow is the acquisition of foreign assets by domestic residents (capital outflow) minus the acquisitio

7、n of domestic assets by foreigners (capital inflow). Because every international transaction involves an exchange of an asset for a good or service, an economys net capital outflow always equals its net exports. An economys saving can be used to finance investment at home or buy assets abroad. Thus,

8、 national saving equals domestic investment plus net capital outflow. The nominal exchange rate is the relative price of the currency of two countries, and the real exchange rate is the relative price of the goods and services of two countries. When the nominal exchange rate changes so that each dol

9、lar buys more foreign currency, the dollar is said to appreciate or strengthen. When the nominal exchange rate changes so that each dollar buys less foreign currency, the dollar is said to depreciate or weaken. According to the theory of purchasing-power parity, a dollar (or a unit of any other curr

10、ency) should be able to buy the same quantity of goods in all countries. This theory implies that the nominal exchange rate between the currencies of two countries should reflect the price levels in those countries. As a result, countries with relatively high inflation should have depreciating curre

11、ncies, and 第 301 頁countries with relatively low inflation should have appreciating currencies.CHAPTER OUTLINE:I. We will no longer be assuming that the economy is a closed economy.A. Definition of closed economy: an economy that does not interact with other economies in the world.B. Definition of op

12、en economy: an economy that interacts freely with other economies around the world.II. The International Flows of Goods and CapitalA. The Flow of Goods: Exports, Imports, and Net Exports1. Definition of exports: goods and services that are produced domestically and sold abroad.2. Definition of impor

13、ts: goods and services that are produced abroad and sold domestically.3. Definition of net exports: the value of a nations exports minus the value of its imports, also called the trade balance.4. Definition of trade balance: the value of a nations exports minus the value of its imports, also called

14、net exports.5. Definition of trade surplus: an excess of exports over imports.6. Definition of trade deficit: an excess of imports over exports.7. Definition of balanced trade: a situation in which exports equal imports.Point out to students that a trade surplus implies a positive level of net expor

15、ts, a trade deficit means that net exports are negative, and balanced trade occurs when net exports are equal to zero. While this will likely be obvious to most students, some will benefit if you review this.Point out foreign products that students are likely to buy.8. There are several factors that

16、 influence a countrys exports, imports, and net exports:a. The tastes of consumers for domestic and foreign goods.b. The prices of goods at home and abroad.c. The exchange rates at which people can use domestic currency to buy foreign currencies.d. The incomes of consumers at home and abroad.e. The

17、cost of transporting goods from country to country.f. Government policies toward international trade.9.Case Study: The Increasing Openness of the U.S. Economya. Figure 1 shows the total value of exports and imports (expressed as a percentage of GDP) for the United States since 1950.b. Advances in tr

18、ansportation, telecommunications, and technological progress are some of the reasons why international trade has increased over time.c. Policymakers around the world have also become more accepting of free trade over time.10.In the News: The Changing Nature of U.S. Exportsa. Growing U.S. exports inc

19、lude entertainment royalties, tourism, travel, and services.b. This article from The Wall Street Journal describes the growth in New Exports.B. The Flow of Financial Resources: Net Capital OutflowFigure 1第 303 頁1. Definition of net capital outflow (NCO): the purchase of foreign assets by domestic re

20、sidents minus the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners.2. The flow of capital abroad takes two forms.a. Foreign direct investment occurs when a capital investment is owned and operated by a foreign entity.b. Foreign portfolio investment involves an investment that is financed with foreign money

21、 but operated by domestic residents.3. Net capital outflow can be positive or negative.a. When net capital outflow is positive, domestic residents are buying more foreign assets than foreigners are buying domestic assets. Capital is flowing out of the country.b. When net capital outflow is negative,

22、 domestic residents are buying fewer foreign assets than foreigners are buying domestic assets. The country is experiencing a capital inflow.4. There are several factors that influence a countrys net capital outflow:a. The real interest rates being paid on foreign assets.b. The real interest rates b

23、eing paid on domestic assets.c. The perceived economic and political risks of holding assets abroad.d. The government policies that affect foreign ownership of domestic assets.You will likely have to write this equation several times on the board for students when discussing this chapter and the nex

24、t. Students can grasp the concept of net exports more easily than they can grasp the concept of net capital outflow.C. The Equality of Net Exports and Net Capital Outflow1. Net exports and net capital outflow each measure a type of imbalance in a world market.a. Net exports measure the imbalance bet

25、ween a countrys exports and imports in world markets for goods and services.b. Net capital outflow measures the imbalance between the amount of foreign assets bought by domestic residents and the amount of domestic assets bought by foreigners in world financial markets.2. For an economy, net exports

26、 must be equal to net capital outflow.3. Example: You are a computer programmer who sells some software to a Japanese consumer for 10,000 yen.a. The sale is an export of the United States so U.S. net exports increase.b. There are several things you could do with the 10,000 yenc. You could hold the y

27、en (which is a Japanese asset) or use it to purchase another Japanese asset. Either way, U.S. net capital outflow rises.d. Alternatively, you could use the yen to purchase a Japanese good. Thus, U.S. imports will rise so the net effect on net exports will be zero.e. One final possibility is that you

28、 could exchange the yen for dollars at a bank. This does not change the situation though, because the bank then must use the yen for something.ALTERNATIVE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE:Assume that U.S. residents do not want to buy any foreign assets, but foreign residents want to purchase some stock in a U.S. f

29、irm (such as Microsoft).How are the foreigners going to get the dollars to purchase the stock?They would do it the same way U.S. residents would purchase the stockthey would have to earn more than they spend. In other words, foreigners must sell the United States more goods and services than they pu

30、rchase from the United States.This leads to negative net exports for the United States. The extra dollars spent by U.S. residents on foreign-produced goods and services would be used to purchase the stock in Microsoft.第 305 頁4. This example can be generalized to the economy as a whole.a. When a nati

31、on is running a trade surplus (NX 0), it must be using the foreign currency to purchase foreign assets. Thus, capital is flowing out of the country (NCO 0).b. When a nation is running a trade deficit (NX 0), it must be financing the net purchase of these goods by selling assets abroad. Thus, capital

32、 is flowing into the country (NCO 0).5. Every international transaction involves exchange. When a seller country transfers a good or service to a buyer country, the buyer country gives up some asset to pay for the good or service.6. Thus, the net value of the goods and services sold by a country (ne

33、t exports) must equal the net value of the assets acquired (net capital outflow).D. Saving, Investment, and Their Relationship to the International Flows1. Recall that GDP (Y ) is the sum of four components: consumption (C ), investment (I ), government purchases (G ) and net exports (NX ).2. Recall

34、 that national saving is equal to the income of the nation after paying for current consumption and government purchases.3. We can rearrange the equation for GDP to get:Substituting for the left-hand side, we get:4. Because net exports and net capital outflow are equal, we can rewrite this as:5. Thi

35、s implies that saving is equal to the sum of domestic investment (I ) and net capital outflow (NCO ).6. When a U.S. citizen saves $1 of her income, that dollar can be used to finance the accumulation of domestic capital or it can be used to finance the purchase of foreign capital.7. Note that, in a

36、closed economy such as the one we assumed earlier, net capital outflow would equal zero and saving would simply be equal to domestic investment.E. Summing Up1. Table 1 describes three possible outcomes for an open economy: a country with a trade deficit, a country with balanced trade, or a country w

37、ith a trade surplus.2.Case Study: Is the U.S. Trade Deficit a National Problem?a. Panel (a) of Figure 2 shows national saving and domestic investment for the United States as a percentage of GDP since 1960.b. Panel (b) of Figure 2 shows net capital outflow for the United States as a percentage of GD

38、P for the same time period.c. Before 1980, domestic investment and national saving tended to fluctuate together, so net capital outflow was typically small.d. Trade deficits can arise under a variety of circumstances.e.Unbalanced fiscal policy: From 1980 to 1987, national saving fell due to an incre

39、ase in the government budget deficit.Figure 2Table 1第 307 頁f.Investment boom: From 1991 to 2000, the capital flow into the United States increased as the governments budget switched from deficit to surplus, but investment went from 13.4% to 17.8% of GDP. The economy enjoyed a boom in information tec

40、hnology and firms invested heavily.g. Economic downturn: From 2000 to 2012, the capital flow into the United States remained large despite the fact that both saving and investment fell by about 4.5%. Tough economic times made additional capital less profitable and national saving fell due to extraor

41、dinarily large budget deficits.h. When national saving falls, either investment will have to fall or net capital outflow will have to fall.i. On the other hand, a trade deficit led by an increase in investment will not pose a large problem for the United States if the increased investment leads to a

42、 higher production of goods and services.III. The Prices for International Transactions: Real and Nominal Exchange RatesA. Nominal Exchange Rates1. Definition of nominal exchange rate: the rate at which a person can trade the currency of one country for the currency of another.2. An exchange rate ca

43、n be expressed in two ways. a. Example: 80 yen per dollar.Students are curious about the currencies of other countries. Bring in a current list of nominal exchange rates between several currencies and the U.S. dollar. Quiz the students to see if they can match up the currencies with the countries wh

44、ere they are used. Encourage students to bring in foreign currencies if they have them.b. This can also be written as 1/80 dollar (or 0.0125 dollar) per yen.3. Definition of appreciation: an increase in the value of a currency as measured by the amount of foreign currency it can buy.4. Definition of

45、 depreciation: a decrease in the value of a currency as measured by the amount of foreign currency it can buy.5. When a currency appreciates, it is said to strengthen; when a currency depreciates, it is said to weaken.6. When economists study nominal exchange rates, they often use an exchange rate i

46、ndex, which converts the many nominal exchange rates into a single measure.7.FYI: The Euroa. During the 1990s, many European nations decided to give up their national currencies and use a new common currency called the euro.b. The euro started circulating on January 1, 2002.c. Monetary policy is now

47、 set by the European Central Bank (ECB), which controls the supply of euros in the economy.d. Benefits of a common currency include easier trading ability and increased unity.e. However, because there is only one currency, there can be only one monetary policy.ALTERNATIVE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE:$110 peso

48、s1 peso$0.10第 309 頁f. From 2010 to 2012, worries about having a common currency came to the forefront when Greece faced a possible default of its government debt.B. Real Exchange Rates1. Definition of real exchange rate: the rate at which a person can trade the goods and services of one country for

49、the goods and services of another.2. Example: A bushel of American rice sells for $100 and a bushel of Japanese rice sells for 16,000 yen. The nominal exchange rate is 80 yen per dollar.3. The real exchange rate depends on the nominal exchange rate and on the prices of goods in the two countries mea

50、sured in the local currencies.4. In our example:real exchange rate = 1/2 bushel of Japanese rice per bushel of American riceMake sure that you emphasize that when the dollar appreciates against a particular currency that currency must depreciate against the dollar. Use an example to illustrate this

51、point.5. The real exchange rate is a key determinant of how much a country exports and imports.6. When studying an economy as a whole, macroeconomists focus on overall prices instead of the prices of individual goods and services.a. Price indexes are used to measure the level of overall prices.b. As

52、sume that P is the price index for the United States, P* is a price index for prices abroad, and e is the nominal exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.7. The real exchange rate measures the price of a basket of goods and services available domestically relative to the price o

53、f a basket of goods and services available abroad.8. A depreciation in the U.S. real exchange rate means that U.S. goods have become cheaper relative to foreign goods. U.S. exports will rise, imports will fall, and net exports will increase.9. Likewise, an appreciation in the U.S. real exchange rate

54、 means that U.S. goods have become more expensive relative to foreign goods. U.S. exports will fall, imports will rise, and net exports will decline.IV.A First Theory of Exchange-Rate Determination: Purchasing-Power ParityA. Definition of purchasing-power parity: a theory of exchange rates whereby a

55、 unit of any given currency should be able to buy the same quantity of goods in all countries.B. The Basic Logic of Purchasing-Power ParityALTERNATIVE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE:Price of Mexican corn = 50 pesos/bushelPrice of American corn = $10/bushelNominal exchange rate: $1 = 12 pesosreal exchange rate =

56、(12 pesos per dollar)($10 per bushel of American corn) 50 pesos per bushel of Mexican cornreal exchange rate = 120 pesos per bushel of American corn 50 pesos per bushel of Mexican cornreal exchange rate = 2.4 bushels of Mexican corn per bushel of American corn第 311 頁1. The law of one price suggests

57、that a good must sell for the same price in all locations.a. If a good sold for less in one location than another, a person could make a profit by buying the good in the location where it is cheaper and selling it in the location where it is more expensive.b. The process of taking advantage of diffe

58、rences in prices for the same item in different markets is called arbitrage.c. Note what will happen as people take advantage of the differences in prices. The price in the location where the good is cheaper will rise (because the demand is now higher) and the price in the location where the good wa

59、s more expensive will fall (because the supply is greater). This will continue until the two prices are equal.2. The same logic should apply to currency.a. A U.S. dollar should buy the same quantity of goods and services in the United States and Japan; a Japanese yen should buy the same quantity of

60、goods and services in the United States and Japan.b. Purchasing-power parity suggests that a unit of all currencies must have the same purchasing power in every country.c. If this was not the case, people would take advantage of the profit-making opportunity and this arbitrage would then push the re
