Confidence in the ability of the U.S. to redeem dollars for gold began to fall as potential claims against the dollar increased and U.S. gold reserves fell.2.Under the fixed exchange rate system, the value of the dollar was tied to gold through itsconvertibility in to gold at the U.S. Treasury, and other nations’ currencies were tied to the dollar by the maintenance of a fixed rate of exchange.3.IMF has adjusted its role in the exchange rate system in view of the development of thesituation.4.After the collapse of the Bretton Woods System, the task of ―rigorous monitoring‖theexchange rate policy of member countries fell on the shoulder of IMF.5.Under normal conditions the stabilizing operations were sufficient to contain short-runfluctuations in a currency’s price within the required bounds of 1% of par value and thereby maintain a system of fixed exchange rates.Chapter 2Answers:I. liquid, turnover, due to, hedge, cross trading, electronic broking, outright forwards,Over-the-counter, futures and options, derivatives, remainder.II.. 1. The fundamental changes occurred in post-war world economy. The international flow of commodities, capital and labor is intensifying, thus leading to integration of international markets.1.Often referred to as ―financial institutions with a soul‖, credit unions are member-ownedcooperatives that offer checking accounts, savings accounts, credit cards, and consumer loans.2.If you think the price of gold will rise, you can buy a most simple kind of financial derivativewhich is called ―futures‖. If by that time the price really goes up, then you make a gain. But if you make a wrong guess and the price declines, then you suffer a loss.3.Financial derivatives are financial commodities deriving from such spot market products asinterest rate or bond, foreign exchange or foreign exchange rate and sto ck or stock indexes.There are mainly three types of derivatives: futures, options and swaps, each of which involves a mix of financial contracts.panies and investment funds are using basic currency futures and currency options, onesthat are regarded as traditional hedging products for investors who want to protect their international assets from sharp gains and declines in currency prices.Chapter 3Answers:II. 1. deposit accounts 2. securitization 3.

Key Terms1)foreign exchange:―Foreign exchange‖ refers t o money denominated in the currency of another nation or group of nations.2)payment“payment”is the transmission of an instruction to transfer value that results from a transaction in the economy.3)settlement―settlement‖ is the final and uncondit ional transfer of the value specified in a payment instruction.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true 4) true1)Tell the reasons why the dollar is the market's most widely tradedcurrency?key points: U.S.A economic background; the leadership of USD in the world economy ; the role it plays in investment , trade, etc.2)What kind of market is the foreign exchange market?Make reference to the following parts:(8.7 The Market Is Made Up of An International Network of Dealers)Chapter 9Instruments交易工具1. Key Terms1) spot transactionA spot transaction is a straightforward (or ―outright‖) exchange of one currency for another. The spot rate is the current market price, the benchmark price.Spot transactions do not require immediate settlement, or payment ―on the spot.‖ By convention, the settlement date, or ―value date,‖is the second business day after the ―deal date‖ (or ―trade date‖) on which the transaction is agreed to by the two traders. The two-day period provides ample time for the two parties to confirm the agreement and arrange the clearing and necessary debiting and crediting of bank accounts in various international locations.2) American termsThe phrase ―American terms‖means a direct quote from the point of view of someone located in the United States. For the dollar, that means that the rate is quoted in variable amounts of U.S. dollars and cents per one unit of foreign currency (e.g., $1.2270 per Euro).3) outright forward transactionAn outright forward transaction, like a spot transaction, is a straightforward single purchase/ sale of one currency for another. The only difference is that spot is settled, or delivered, on a value date no later than two business days after the deal date, while outright forward is settled on any pre-agreed date three or more business days after the deal date. Dealers use the term ―outright forward‖ to make clear that it is a single purchase or sale on a future date, and not part of an ―FX swap‖.4) FX swapAn FX swap has two separate legs settling on two different value dates, even though it is arranged as a single transaction and is recorded in the turnover statistics as a single transaction. The two counterparties agree to exchange two currencies at a particular rate on one date (the ―near date‖) and to reverse payments, almost always at a different rate, on a specified sub sequent date (the ―far date‖). Effectively, it is a spot transaction and an outright forward transaction going in opposite directions, or else two outright forwards with different settlement dates, and going in opposite directions. If both dates are less than one month from the deal date, it is a ―short-dated swap‖; if one or both dates are one month or more from the deal date, it is a ―forward swap.‖5) put-call parity―Put-call parity‖says that the price of a European put (or call) option can be deduced from the price of a European call (or put) option on the same currency, with the same strike price and expiration. When the strike price is the same as the forward rate (an ―at-the-money‖forward), the put and the call will be equal in value. When the strike price is not the same as the forward price, the difference between the value of the put and the value of the call will equal the difference in the present values of the two currencies.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true3. Cloze1) Traders in the market thus know that for any currency pair, if the basecurrency earns a higher interest rate than the terms currency, the currency will trade at a forward discount, or below the spot rate; and if the base currency earns a lower interest rate than the terms currency, the base currency will trade at a forward premium, or above the spot rate. Whichever side of the transaction the trader is on, the trader won't gain (or lose) from both the interest rate differential and the forward premium/discount. A trader who loses on the interest rate will earn the forward premium, and vice versa.2) A call option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlyingcurrency, and a put option is the right, but not the obligation, to sellthe underlying currency. All currency option trades involve two sides—the purchase of one currency and the sale of another—so that a put to sell pounds sterling for dollars at a certain price is also a call to buy dollars for pounds sterling at that price. The purchased currency is the call side of the trade, and the sold currency is the put side of the trade. The party who purchases the option is the holder or buyer, and the party who creates the option is the seller or writer. The price at which the underlying currency may be bought or sold is the exercise , or strike, price. The option premium is the price of the option that the buyer pays to the writer. In exchange for paying the option premium up front, the buyer gains insurance against adverse movements in the underlying spot exchange rate while retaining the opportunity to benefit from favorable movements. The option writer, on the other hand, is exposed to unbounded risk—although the writer can (and typically does) seek to protect himself through hedging or offsetting transactions.4. Discussions1)What is a derivate financial instrument? Why is traded?2)Discuss the differences between forward and futures markets in foreigncurrency.3)What advantages do foreign currency futures have over foreigncurrency options?4)What is meant if an option is ―in the money‖, ―out of the money‖,or ―atthe money‖?5)What major international contracts are traded on the ChicagoMercantile Exchange ? Philadelphia Stock Exchange?Chapter 10Managing Risk in Foreign Exchange Trading外汇市场交易的风险管理1. Key Terms1) Market riskMarket risk, in simplest terms, is price risk, or ―exposure to (adverse)price change.‖ For a dealer in foreign exchange, two major elements of market risk are exchange rate risk and interest rate risk—that is, risks of adverse change in a currency rate or in an interest rate.2) VARVAR estimates the potential loss from market risk across an entire portfolio, using probability concepts. It seeks to identify the fundamental risks that the portfolio contains, so that the portfolio can be decomposed into underlying risk factors that can be quantified and managed. Employing standard statistical techniques widely used in other fields, and based in part on past experience, VAR can be used to estimate the daily statistical variance, or standard deviation, or volatility, of the entire portfolio. On the basis of that estimate of variance, it is possible to estimate the expected loss from adverse price movements with a specified probability over a particular period of time (usually a day).3) credit riskCredit risk, inherent in all banking activities, arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a contract cannot or will not make the agreed payment at maturity. When an institution provides credit, whatever the form, it expects to be repaid. When a bank or other dealing institution enters a foreign exchange contract, it faces a risk that the counterparty will not perform according to the provisions of the contract. Between the time of the deal and the time of thesettlement, be it a matter of hours, days, or months, there is an extension of credit by both parties and an acceptance of credit risk by the banks or other financial institutions involved. As in the case of market risk, credit risk is one of the fundamental risks to be monitored and controlled in foreign exchange trading.4) legal risksThere are legal risks, or the risk of loss that a contract cannot be enforced, which may occur, for example, because the counterparty is not legally capable of making the binding agreement, or because of insufficient documentation or a contract in conflict with statutes or regulatory policy.2. True or False1)True 2) true3. Translation1) Broadly speaking, the risks in trading foreign exchange are the same asthose in marketing other financial products. These risks can be categorized and subdivided in any number of ways, depending on the particular focus desired and the degree of detail sought. Here, the focus is on two of the basic categories of risk—market risk and credit risk (including settlement risk and sovereign risk)—as they apply to foreign exchange trading. Note is also taken of some other important risks in foreign exchange trading—liquidity risk, legal risk, and operational risk2) It was noted that foreign exchange trading is subject to a particular form ofcredit risk known as settlement risk or Herstatt risk, which stems in part from the fact that the two legs of a foreign exchange transaction are often settled in two different time zones, with different business hours. Also noted was the fact that market participants and central banks have undertaken considerable initiatives in recent years to reduce Herstatt risk.4. Discussions2)Discuss the way how V AR works in measuring and managing marketrisk?3)Why are banks so interested in political or country risk?4)Discuss other forms of risks which you know in foreign exchange. Chapter 11The Determination of Exchange Rates汇率的决定1. Key Terms1) PPPPurchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory holds that in the long run, exchange rates will adjust to equalize the relative purchasing power of currencies. This concept follows from the law of one price, which holds that in competitive markets, identical goods will sell for identical prices when valued in the same currency.2) the law of one priceThe law of one price relates to an individual product. A generalization of that law is the absolute version of PPP, the proposition that exchange rates will equate nations' overall price levels.3) FEER―fundamental equilibrium exchange rate,‖ or FEER,envisaged as the equilibrium exchange rate that would reconcile a nation's internal and external balance. In that system, each country would commit itself to a macroeconomicstrategy designed to lead, in the medium term, to ―internal balance‖—defined as unemployment at the natural rate and minimal inflation—and to ―external balance‖—defined as achieving the targeted current account balance. Each country would be committed to holding its exchange rate within a band or target zone around the FEER, or the level needed to reconcile internal and external balance during the intervening adjustment period.4) monetary approachThe monetary approach to exchange rate determination is based on the proposition that exchange rates are established through the process of balancing the total supply of, and the total demand for, the national money in each nation. The premise is that the supply of money can be controlled by the nation's monetary authorities, and that the demand for money has a stable and predictable linkage to a few key variables, including an inverse relationship to the interest rate—that is, the higher the interest rate, the smaller the demand for money.5) portfolio balance approachThe portfolio balance approach takes a shorter-term view of exchange rates and broadens the focus from the demand and supply conditions for money to take account of the demand and supply conditions for other financial assets as well. Unlike the monetary approach, the portfolio balance approach assumes that domestic and foreign bonds are not perfect substitutes. According to the portfolio balance theory in its simplest form, firms and individuals balance their portfolios among domestic money, domestic bonds, and foreign currency bonds, and they modify their portfolios as conditions change. It is the process of equilibrating the total demand for, and supply of, financial assets in each country that determines the exchange rate.2. True or False1) true 2) true3. Cloze1)PPP is based in part on some unrealistic assumptions: that goods are identical; that all goods are tradable; that there are no transportationcosts, information gaps, taxes, tariffs, or restrictions of trade; and—implicitly and importantly—that exchange rates are influenced only byrelative inflation rates. But contrary to the implicit PPP assumption,exchange rates also can change for reasons other than differences ininflation rates. Real exchange rates can and do change significantly overtime, because of such things as major shifts in productivitygrowth, advances in technology, shifts in factor supplies, changes inmarket structure, commodity shocks, shortage, and booms.2)Each individual and firm chooses a portfolio to suit its needs, based on a variety of considerations—the holder's wealth and tastes, the level ofdomestic and foreign interest rates, expectations of future inflation,interest rates, and so on. Any significant change in the underlying factorswill cause the holder to adjust his portfolio and seek a new equilibrium.These actions to balance portfolios will influence exchange rates.4. Discussions1)How does the purchasing power parity work?2)Describe and discuss one model for forecasting foreign exchange rates.3)Make commends on how good are the various approaches mentioned in the chapter.4)Central banks occasionally intervene in foreign exchange markets. Discuss the purpose of such intervention. How effective is intervention?Chapter 12The Financial Markets金融市场1. Key Terms1)money marketThe money market is really a market for short-term credit, or the option to use someone else's money for a period of time in return for the payment of interest. The money market helps the participants in the economic process cope with routine financial uncertainties. It assists in bridging the differences in the timing of payments and receipts that arise in a market economy.2)capital marketMarkets dealing in instruments with maturities that exceed one year are often referred to as capital markets.3)primary marketThe term ―primary market‖ applies to the original issuance of a credit market instrument. There are a variety of techniques for such sales, including auctions, posting of rates, direct placement, and active customer contacts by a salesperson specializing in the instrument4) secondary marketOnce a debt instrument has been issued, the purchaser may be able to resell it before maturity in a ―secondary market.‖ Again, a number of techniques are available for bringing together potential buyers and sellers of existing debt instruments. They include various types of formal exchanges, informal telephone dealer markets, and electronic trading through bids and offers on computer screens. Often, the same firms that provide primary marketing services help to create or ―make‖ secondary markets.5)RPsIn addition to making outright purchases and sales in the secondary market, entities with money to invest for a brief period can acquire a security temporarily, and holders of debt instruments can borrow short term by selling securities temporarily. These two types of transactions are repurchase agree-ments (RPs) and reverse RPs,respectively. In the wholesale market, banks and government securities dealers offer RPs at competitive rates of return by selling securities under contracts providing for their repurchase from one day to several months later6)BAs 7)CDs (reference to 13.1)8) EurodollarEurodollars are U.S. dollar deposits at banking offices in a country other than the United States.9) EurobankEurobanks—banks dealing in Eurodollar or some other nonlocal currency deposits, including foreign branches of U.S. banks— originally held deposits almost exclusively in Europe, primarily London. While most such deposits are still held in Europe, they are also held in such places as the Bahamas, Bahrain, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo, as well as other parts of the world.10)LIBOR (reference to 13.2.2 Certificates of Deposit)London inter-bank offer rate11)mortgage-backed securities12)Eurobond market (details make reference to13.3.3 )The Eurobond market, centered in London, is an offshore market in intermediate- and long-term debt issues. It serves as a source of capital for multinational corporations and for foreign governments. It developed after the United States instituted the interest equalization tax in 1963 to stem capital outflows inspired by relatively low U.S. interest rates.2. True or False1) true 2) true 3) true3. Discussions1) Describe the characteristics of Interest Rate Swap and the role of it in thebank-related financial market.2) What risks are encountered in the swaps markets?3) Discuss one or two specific examples of derivative products and their use.4. Translations1) Markets dealing in instruments with maturities that exceed one year are often referred to as capital markets, since credit to finance investments in new capital would generally be needed for more than one year. The time division is arbitrary. A long-term project can be started with short-term credit, with additional instruments may need to be renewed before a project is completed. Debt instruments that differ in maturity share other characteristics. Hence, the term ―capital market‖ could be –and occasionally is applied to some shorter maturity transactions.2) The secondary market for Treasure securities consists of a network of dealers, brokers, and investors who effect transactions either by telephone or electronically. Telephone trades are generally between dealers and their customers. Electronics trading is arranged through screen-based systems provided by some of the dealers to their customers. It allows selected trades to take place without a conversation. When dealers trade with each other, they generally use brokers. Brokers provide information on screen, but the final trades are made bytelephone.Chapter 13Concepts of Financial Assets Value金融资产价值的概念1. Key Terms1) absolute measure of valueAn absolute measure of value is used when one must compare it to a nominal amount: purchase price, amount to invest, target sum of money to raise2) relative measure of valueA relative measure of rate of return is more convenient to use when one wishes to compare one financial asset to a set of numerous alternative assets. A rate of return is the most commonly used relative measure of value.3) discountingFuture benefits must be discounted (or converted) to their present (or today's) value, before they are summed. Discounting is part of the study of time value of money, or actuarial mathematics, and a complete treatment of it can be found in specialized textbook.4) time value of moneyTime value of money studies how amounts of money are made equivalent over time. Converting amounts today into their future equivalent consists in adding interest to principal, i.e. compounding. Converting amounts in the future into today's equivalent consists of charging an interest, i.e. discounting. Thus, discounting is the exact inverse of compounding.5) FV 6) PV 7) annuity8) short term securitiesShort term securities (i.e. securities with maturity less than one year) are sold at a discount (i.e. nominal value less the interest to be earned over the remaining number of days to maturity). There is no coupon, and no additional benefits such as conversion right, but there may be a penalty for early redemption in the case of some bank certificates of deposit.9) P/E ratio (make reference to 15.5.3 --Earnings Multiple or P/E Ratio)Another approach which is used as a short-cut by a large number of investors, is the earnings multiple. It is sometimes referred to as earningsmultiplier, and it is most commonly known as price-to-earnings or P/E ratio. In many instances, the approach, rather than being an oversimplification, can be an improvement over the previous format. In its most common presentation, the idea is that the price P of a share should be a multiple m of its earnings per share E. The multiple m is an industry average because it is assumed that all companies in an industry face similar marketing, technological and resource challenges, and thus, should have similar organizational and production patterns.10) intrinsic valueintrinsic value, or difference between market price of the underlying stock and strike price (which is also known as exercise price because it is the price at which an option holder can buy from or sell to the option writer the underlying stock through the options exchange)。

It It worried worried that that pound ster1ing might rise sharply from the current rate($1.90). So, the company bought a 6 month pound call (supposed contract size = £35,000) with a strike price of $1.90 for a premium of 2.3 cents/£. (1)Is hedging in the options market better if the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months? (2)what did the exchange rate have to be for the company to break even?(15%)Solution: (1)If the £ rose to $1.92 in 6 months, the U.S. company would rose to $1.92 in 6 months, the U.S. company would exercise the pound call option. The sum of the strike price and premium is $1.90 + $0.023 = $1.9230/£This is bigger than $1.92. So hedging in the options market is not better. (2) when we say the company can break even, we mean that hedging or not hedging doesn’t matter. And only when (strike price + premium )= the exchange rate , hedging or not doesn’t matter.

第15 章货币政策一、本章重点1. 货币政策的最终目标是中央银行通过货币政策操作而最终要达到的宏观经济目标。
最终目标有稳定币值、经济增长、充分就业、国际收支平衡和金融稳定等。
货币政策最终目标之间的关系分析包括充分就业与经济增长的关系、稳定币值与经济增长和充分就业的关系、稳定币值与国际收支平衡的关系。
2. 货币政策工具是中央银行为实现货币政策目标而使用的各种策略手段。
货币政策工具可分为一般性政策工具、选择性政策工具和其他货币政策工具三类。
中央银行的一般性货币政策工具即传统货币政策工具有法定存款准备金政策、再贴现政策和公开市场业务等。
3. 货币政策中间指标的选择标准有可测性、可控性、相关性、抗干扰性、适应性等。
中间指标有准备金、基础货币、货币供给量、利率。
4. 货币政策传导机制是指货币当局确定货币政策目标后,从选用一定的货币政策工具进行操作,到实现最终目标所经过的一系列过程。
西方主要货币政策传导机制理论包括凯恩斯学派和货币学派的货币政策传导机制。
5. 货币政策的时滞是指货币政策从制定到最终目标的实现,必须经过一段时间,这段时间被称为货币政策的时滞,包括内部时滞、外部时滞。
内部时滞又可分为认识时滞和决策时滞。
外部时滞又可分为操作时滞和市场时滞。
二、难点释疑1. 中央银行货币政策目标的相互关系包括物价稳定与充分就业、物价稳定与经济增长、物价稳定与国际收支平衡、经济增长与国际收支平衡、经济增长与充分就业之间的关系。
物价稳定与充分就业之间的关系可以用菲利普斯曲线来说明,即物价变动率与失业率之间存在此涨彼消的关系。
物价稳定与经济增长之间从长期来看具有一致性,从短期来看理论界有不同看法,政府多倾向于利用通货膨胀刺激经济增长。
物价稳定与国际收支平衡二者在现实生活中难以同时实现。
经济增长与国际收支平衡之间具有一定的矛盾性,经济增长率高可能会带来国际收支的逆差。
经济增长与充分就业之间通常认为具有一致性,经济增长率越高越能提供更多的就业机会。

How do the equilibrium level of output and interest rate change?Answer: The monetary expansion shifts the LM curve to the right which by itself would cause the interest rate to decrease and aggregate output to increase. The fiscal contraction shifts the IS curve to the left which by itself would cause the interest rate to decrease and aggregate output to decrease. Therefore, the equilibrium interest rate unambiguously falls, while the effect on output is indeterminate.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking18) Using the ISLM model, show graphically and explain the effects of a monetary contraction. What is the effect on the equilibrium interest rate and level of output?Answer: See figure below.The monetary contraction shifts the LM curve to the left. The result is that the equilibrium level of output falls and the equilibrium interest rate increases.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking27.5 Effectiveness Of Monetary Versus Fiscal Policy1) If the quantity of money demanded is not affected by changes in the interest rate, the LM curve is ________ and fiscal policy will be ________.A) horizontal; very effectiveB) horizontal; ineffectiveC) vertical; ineffectiveD) vertical; very effectiveAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) The LM curve will be vertical and fiscal policy ineffective whenA) the demand for money is unaffected by changes in the interest rate.B) the demand for money is unaffected by changes in income.C) investment is unaffected by changes in the interest rate.D) investment is unaffected by changes in income.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking3) The situation in which expansionary fiscal policy does not lead to a rise in aggregate output is referred to asA) fiscal neutrality.B) a recession.C) complete crowding out.D) inflation.Answer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking4) Crowding out will be more pronounced the closer to vertical is theA) IS curve.B) LM curve.C) consumption function.D) aggregate demand function.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking5) The less interest-sensitive is money demand, theA) more effective is fiscal policy relative to monetary policy.B) more effective is monetary policy relative to fiscal policy.C) steeper is the IS curve.D) flatter is the LM curve.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking6) The more interest-sensitive is money demand, theA) more effective is fiscal policy relative to monetary policy.B) more effective is monetary policy relative to fiscal policy.C) steeper is the IS curve.D) steeper is the LM curve.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking7) If the economy is characterized by a certain and stable LM curve, then ________ target produces ________ fluctuations in aggregate output.A) an interest rate; smallerB) a money supply; smallerC) a money supply; largerD) an exchange rate; largerAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking8) If the economy is characterized by a stable IS curve and an unstable LM curve, then ________ target produces ________ fluctuations in aggregate output.A) an interest rate; largerB) a money supply; smallerC) a money supply; largerD) an exchange rate; smallerAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking9) If the ________ curve is relatively more unstable than the ________ curve, a money supply target is preferred.A) IS; ISB) IS; LMC) LM; ISD) LM; LMAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking10) If the ________ curve is relatively more unstable than the ________ curve, an interest rate target is preferred.A) IS; ISB) IS; LMC) LM; ISD) LM; LMAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking11) If the Fed adopts a policy of pegging the interest rate, a ________ in government spending forces the Fed to increase the money supply to prevent interest rates from ________.A) fall; increasingB) fall; decreasingC) rise; decreasingD) rise; increasingAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking12) Using the ISLM model, explain and show graphically the effect of a fiscal expansion when the demand for money is completely insensitive to changes in the interest rate. What is this effect called?Answer: See figure below.This is the total crowding out effect. The LM curve is vertical, so any shift of the IS curve affects only interest rates. The level of output is constant. The fiscal expansion shifts the IS curve rightward, increasing the interest rate.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking13) Show graphically and explain why targeting an interest rate is preferable when money demand is unstable and the IS curve is stable.Answer: See figure below.Unstable money demand causes the LM curve to shift between LM' and LM". If the money supply is targeted, output fluctuates between Y' and Y". With an interest rate target, output remains stable at Y. Since the objective is to minimize output fluctuations, targeting the interest rate is preferable.Ques Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking27.6 ISLM Model In The Long Run1) The rate of output at which the price level has no tendency to rise or fall is called theA) natural rate of output.B) potential level of income.C) bliss point.D) efficient level of output.Answer: AQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking2) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, as long as the level of output ________ the natural rate level, the price level will continue to ________, shifting the LM curve to the ________, until finally output is back at the natural rate level.A) exceeds; rise; rightB) exceeds; rise; leftC) remains below; fall; leftD) remains below; rise; rightAnswer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Analytical Thinking3) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, as long as the level of output ________ the natural rate level, the price level will continue to ________, shifting the LM curve to the ________, until finally output is back at the natural rate level.A) exceeds; rise; rightB) exceeds; fall; leftC) remains below; fall; rightD) remains below; rise; leftAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Analytical Thinking4) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, an increase in the money supply leaves the level of output and interest rates unchanged, an outcome calledA) interest rate overshooting.B) long-run money neutrality.C) long-run crowding out.D) the long-run Phillips curve.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinkingexpansionary monetary policy is toA) increase real output and the interest rate.B) not change either real output or the interest rate.C) increase real output and leave the interest rate unchanged.D) increase the interest rate and leave real output unchanged.Answer: BQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking6) The long-run neutrality of money refers to the fact that in the long run, monetary policyA) changes only real output.B) changes only the real interest rate.C) changes both real output and the real interest rate.D) has no effect on either real output or the real interest rate.Answer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking7) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of an expansionary fiscal policy is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) not change; not changeC) increase; not changeD) not change; increaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking8) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of a contractionary fiscal policy is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) not change; not changeB) decrease; decreaseC) decrease; not changeD) not change; decreaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinkingcut in government spending is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking10) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of a tax cut is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking11) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of an autonomous increase in investment is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: CQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking12) In the long-run ISLM model and with everything else held constant, the long-run effect of a fall in net exports is to ________ real output and ________ the interest rate.A) increase; increaseB) increase; not changeC) not change; increaseD) not change; decreaseAnswer: DQues Status: Previous EditionAACSB: Reflective Thinking。

Similar to stock and commodity exchanges, the foreign exchange market is an organized structure with a central meeting place and formal licensing requirements.2. Swap transactions(掉期交易) among commercial banks involve the conversion of one currency to another at one point with an agreement to reconvert it back into the original currency at some point in the future.3. As the dollar’s exchange value appreciates against the pound, U.S. residents tend to import more British goods and thus demand more pounds.4. As the dollar depreciates against the peso, U.S. residents tend to import more Mexican goods and thus demand more pesos.5. Arbitrage(套汇) results in a riskless profit since a trader purchases a currency at a low price and simultaneously resells it at a higher price.6. If the exchange rate is $0.01 per yen in New York and $0.015 per yen in Tokyo, an arbitrager could profit by buying yen in Tokyo and simultaneously sell them in New York.7. In the forward market, the exchange rate is agreed on at the time of the currency contract, but payment is not made until the future delivery of the currency actually takes place.8. Suppose that Sears owes 1 million yen to a Japanese electronics manufacturer in 3 months. It could hedge against the risk of a depreciation of the dollar against the yen by contracting to purchase 1 million yen in the forward market, at today’s forward rat e, for delivery in 3 months.。
