THE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS
Prior to the mid-1970s, the United States had generally run current account surpluses. This began to turn around in the mid-1970s, and by the mid-1980s, the United States was running large current account deficits. In other words, the United States changed from a creditor nation to a debtor nation.

EQUILIBRIUM OUTPUT (INCOME)IN AN OPEN ECONOMY
The Open-Economy Multiplier
open-economy multiplier )(1

MPMMPC−−=
The effect of a sustained increase in government spending (or investment) on income—that is, the multiplier—is smaller in an open economy than in a closed economy. The reason: When government spending (or investment) increases and income and consumption rise, some of the extra consumption spending that results is on foreign products and not on domestically produced goods and services.

EQUILIBRIUM OUTPUT (INCOME)IN AN OPEN ECONOMY
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS AND THE TRADE FEEDBACK EFFECT
The Determinants of Imports
The same factors that affect households’ consumption behavior and firms’ investment behavior are likely to affect the demand for imports.
The Determinants of Exports
The demand for U.S. exports depends on economic activity in the rest of the world—rest-of-the-world real wages, wealth, nonlabor income, interest rates, and so on—as well as on the prices of U.S. goods relative to the price of rest-of-the-world goods. If foreign output increases,

EQUILIBRIUM OUTPUT (INCOME)IN AN OPEN ECONOMY
The Trade Feedback Effect
trade feedback effect The tendency for an increase in the economic activity of one country to lead to a worldwide increase in economic activity, which then feeds back to thatcountry.
An increase in U.S. imports increases other countries’ exports, which stimulates thosecountries’ economies and increases their imports, which increases U.S. exports, whichstimulates the U.S. economy and increases its imports, and so on. This is the tradefeedback effect. In other words, an increase in U.S. economic activity leads to a worldwide increase in economic activity, which then “feeds back” to the United States.

EQUILIBRIUM OUTPUT (INCOME)IN AN OPEN ECONOMY
The Price Feedback Effect
price feedback effect The process by which a domestic price increase in one country can “feed back” on itself through export and import prices. An increase in the price level in one country can drive up prices in other countries. This in turn further increases the price level in the first country.
The general rate of inflation abroad is likely to affect U.S. import prices. If the inflationrate abroad is high, U.S. import prices are likely to rise.
Export prices of other countries affect U.S. import prices.

THE OPEN ECONOMY WITH FLEXIBLEEXCHANGE RATES
FACTORS THAT AFFECT EXCHANGE RATES
law of one price If the costs of transportation are small, the price of the same good in different countries should be roughly the same.
purchasing-power-parity theory A theory of international exchange holding that exchange rates are set so that the price of similar goods in different countries is the same.
Purchasing Power Parity: The Law of One Price
A high rate of inflation in one country relative to another puts pressure on the exchange rate between the two countries, and there is a general tendency for the currencies of relatively high-inflation countries to depreciate.

THE OPEN ECONOMY WITH FLEXIBLEEXCHANGE RATES
THE EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE RATES ON THE ECONOMY
A depreciation of a country’s currency is likely to increase its GDP.
Exchange Rate Effects on Imports, Exports, and Real GDP
The level of imports and exports depends on exchange rates as well as on income and other factors. When events cause exchange rates to adjust, the levels of imports and exports willchange. Changes in exports and imports can in turn affect the level of real GDP and the price level. Further, exchange rates themselves also adjust to changes in the economy.

THE OPEN ECONOMY WITH FLEXIBLEEXCHANGE RATES
Monetary Policy with Flexible Exchange Rates A cheaper dollar is a good thing if the goal of the monetary expansion is to stimulate the domestic economy.
Fiscal Policy with Flexible Exchange Rates The openness of the economy and flexible exchange rates do not always work to the advantage of policy makers.
Exchange Rates and Prices The depreciation of a country’s currency tends to increase its price level.
Monetary Policy with Fixed Exchange Rates There is no role monetary policy can play if a country has a fixed exchange rate.

AN INTERDEPENDENT WORLD ECONOMY
The increasing interdependence of countries in the world economy has made the problems facing policy makers more difficult.
We used to be able to think of the United States as a relatively self-sufficient region.
Forty years ago, economic events outside U.S. borders had relatively little effect on its economy. This situation is no longer true. The events of the past four decades have taught us that the performance of the U.S. economy is heavily dependent on events outside U.S. borders.
