Plain-text version
Let the equilibrium output and the equilibrium exchange rate be simultaneously determined by the intersection of the above two schedules (from the previous two questions). Suppose Marshall-Lerner condition is satisfied. Then (A) An increase in G leads to an increase in the equilibrium value of ε, while an increase in M̅ leads to a decrease in ε (B) An increase in G leads to a decrease in the equilibrium value of ε, while an increase in M̅ leads to an increase in ε (C) Increase in either G or M̅ leads to an increase in the equilibrium value of ε (D) Increase in either G or M̅ leads to a decrease in the equilibrium value of ε
