Problems and Applications
The table gives some data that describe the economy of Antarctica in 2050:
Item (billions of dollars)
Imports 150
Exports of goods and services 50
Net interest −10
Net transfers 35
Foreign investment in Antarctica 125
Antarctica’s investment abroad 55
Use the table to answer Problems 1 and 2.
1. Calculate Antarctica’s current account balance, capital and financial ac-
count balance, and the increase in Antarctica’s official reserves.
For the current account balance, use the definition that CAB = NX + Net
interest and transfers from abroad. CAB = −$100 billion + (–$10 billion) +
$35 billion = −$75 billion.
The capital and financial account balance equals foreign investment in
Antarctica minus Antarctica’s investment abroad, which is $125 billion −
$55 billion = $70 billion.
Use the formula current account + capital account + official settlements
account = 0. So, (−$75 billion) + ($70 billion) +(official settlements account)
= 0, The official settlements account balance is $5 billion. Antarctica’s offi-
cial reserves decreased by $5 billion.
2. Is Antarctica a debtor nation or a creditor nation? Are its international as-
sets increasing or decreasing? Is Antarctica borrowing to finance invest-
ment or consumption? Explain.
Antarctica is a debtor nation because its net interest payment is negative.
, 380 Part 12 . MACROECONOMIC POLICY
Antarctica’s net international assets are decreasing because foreign in-
vestment in Antarctica is increasing more than is Antarctica’s investment
abroad.
The value of Antarctica’s imports is $100 billion Antarctica dollars more
than the value of its exports. So Antarctica is borrowing these funds. But
we have no information about what Antarctica is doing with these funds
so we cannot tell if Antarctica is borrowing for consumption or invest-
ment. For instance, if Antarctica has no private investment and govern-
ment spending is not on capital goods, then Antarctica is borrowing for
consumption.
3. U.S. trade gap widened in May despite tariff moves
The U.S. trade gap widened sharply in May despite a new round of
tariffs on Chinese goods that took effect in the first half of the month.
Source: Wall Street Journal, July 3, 2019
Explain how the United States pays for its international trade deficit and
why tariffs don’t lower the deficit.
The United States pays for its international trade deficit by borrowing
from abroad. Indeed, the United States is a net borrower and has been
since 1983.
The U.S. trade balance is equal to the sum of the private sector balance
plus the government sector balance, or (S – I) + (NT – G), where S is sav-
ing, I is investment, NT is net taxes, and G is government expenditure on
goods and services. Because tariffs have no effect on these variables, they
will not change the overall U.S. trade balance.
4. The U.S. dollar depreciates. Explain which of the following events could
have caused the depreciation and why.
• The Fed intervened in the foreign exchange market. Did the Fed buy
or sell U.S. dollars?
If the Fed intervenes in the foreign exchange market by selling dollars, it
increases the supply of dollars and the exchange rate depreciates. Howev-
er, if the Fed intervenes in the foreign exchange market by buying dollars,
it decreases the supply of dollars and the exchange rate appreciates.
• People began to expect that the U.S. dollar would depreciate.
If people expect the dollar to depreciate, the demand for dollars decreases
and the supply increases, which leads to an immediate depreciation of the
U.S. dollar exchange rate.
• The U.S. interest rate differential increased.
If the U.S. interest rate differential increases, the demand for U.S. dollars
increases and the supply decreases, and the exchange rate appreciates.
