1. What would happen if Brazil allowed the real to float freely in FX markets: a.

In this diagram we can see that an increase in China’s demand for our exports causes a rise in aggregate demand, shown by the lines AD0 to AD1. The short run effect of this is shown by the new equilibrium found where the new aggregate demand meets the short term aggregate supply. This new equilibrium causes a rise in the price level as well as a rise in the GDP.

The Multiplier with imports We assume that countries are spending fixed % of their GDP on buying goods in other countries, e.g. on imports. Example. Suppose C = 200 + 0.5DI T = 100 Tr = 0 G = 100 I = 200 IM = 0.2Y X =300 Here IM = 0.2Y, which implies that 20% of GDP are spent on imports. Remember that DI = Y – T + Tr = Y – 100. Equilibrium on the demand side Y* solves the following equation Y = C + I + G + X – IM = 200 + 0.5(Y - 100) + 200 + 100 + 300 – 0.2Y Rearranging, we find Y* = (200 – 50 +
