Essay Questions

1. The Heckscher-Ohlin model is famous for being elegant and mathematically sophisticated, yet

failing to describe reality. One manifestation of this fact is Trefler’s Case of Missing Trade.

Explain what exactly is missing. In what sense is it missing? How would you explain why it is missing? How can a relaxation of the identical production functions explain the case of the

missing trade?

Answer: Trefler demonstrated that the actual volume of world trade is significantly less than that which would be predicted by the Heckscher-Ohlin model. One explanation is

that

North-South trade is especially less than would be predicted by a factor proportions model. If technologies differ in the poorer countries, then it is possible that the cost of

producing a product, which uses relatively much of their abundant factor may still be

higher than the cost of producing it in the other country.

2.Factor-intensity reversals describe a situation in which the production of a product may be

land-intensive in one country, and relatively labor intensive in another (at given relative wage levels). For example, cotton may be land intensive in the U.S., and labor intensive in Egypt

where land is relatively scarce and expensive. Suppose factor-intensity reversals were common.

How would that affect the conclusion that a country in which land is relatively scarce will not be the country with

a comparative advantage in the land-intensive product?

Answer: The answer here is straightforward (though it has various interesting implications).

In this case we cannot define or identify a product in terms of its relative factor

intensity (at all or any relative wage level). Therefore, the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem

is ipso-facto inapplicable.

3. Why is it that North-South trade in manufactures seems to be consistent with the results or

expectations generated by the factor-proportions theory of international trade, whereas North-North trade is not?

Answer: There is a clear difference in relative factor availabilities between North and South countries, no matter how we define and measure the factors of production. Hence,

the factor-proportions theory of trade may be sensibly expected to explain the pattern

(though not the volume) of trade between these two groups of countries. However,

the North North trade partners do not vary significantly in their relative factor

availabilities, so that other forces, such as scale economies play a relatively large

role in determining trade patterns.

4. One of the commonly used assumptions in deriving the Heckscher-Ohlin model is that tastes

are homothetic, or that if the per capita incomes were the same in two countries, the

proportions of their expenditures allocated to each product would be the same as it is in the

other country. Imagine that this assumption is false, and that in fact, the tastes in each country are strongly biased in favor of the product in which it has a comparative advantage. How

would this affect the relationship between relative factor abundance between the two countries, and the nature (factor-intensity) of the product each exports? What if the taste bias favored the imported good?

Answer: If in fact national tastes were strongly biased in favor of the product in which the country enjoyed a comparative advantage, then we would expect a bias in favor of

rejecting the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem in actual trade data. The engine driving the

H-O model is that a country should be expected to have a relatively low cost of

producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. However, the

respective demand forces would tend to raise the price of this good, so that the

expected pattern would not generally be observed. However, if the tastes were biased

in favor of the imported good, then the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem

would be expected to be generally observed.

5. Why do you suppose that South-South trade does not conform in volume, but does conform in

pattern with expectations generated by the Heckscher-Ohlin model?

Answer: The pattern of trade is generally observed to conform to the Heckscher-Ohlin models expectations. That is, the developing countries tend to export labor-intensive goods,

such as textiles, and import capital-intensive goods such as machinery. The volume

however is quite lower than what would be expected from the Neoclassical model.

There are many possible reasons, such as financial crises necessitating premia in the

financing of this trade.

6. It has been argued that even if intra-European Union labor mobility were to be completely

removed, one should not expect to observe massive, or even large reallocations of populations with the E.U. Discuss

Answer: Theoretically, just as completely free trade consistent with Heckscher-Ohlin model (with no complete specialization) is associated with factor price equalization; so does

completely free labor mobility. It therefore follows that if intra E.U. trade flourishes,

as any restraints on trade there are abolished, the economic incentive for labor

mobility will be removed. Since language and cultural differences remain, we would

expect populations to tend to stay where they are.

Quantitative/Graphing Problems

1. In Home and Foreign there are two factors of production, land and labor, used to produce only

one good. The land supply in each country and the technology of production are exactly the same. The marginal product of labor in each country depends on employment as follows:

Number of Workers Employed Marginal Product of Last Worker

1 30

2 29

3 28

4 27

5 26

6 25

7 24

8 23

9 22

10 21

11 20

Initially there are 11 workers employed in Home but only 3 workers in Foreign. Find the effect of free movement of labor from the high wage to the low wage country. When such economic migration ceases, what will be the levels of production, real wages and the income of

landowners in each country?

Answer: The total production in the world will increase, since the addition to production (the marginal product of labor) in the target country is larger for each worker than the

loss of production (also the marginal product of workers) in the emigration country.

The real wages will rise in the emigration country and fall in the immigration

country. Landlord incomes will rise in the immigration country and fall in the

emigration country.

2. Suppose Australia, a land (K)-abundant country and Sri-Lanka, a labor(L)-abundant country

both produce labor and land intensive goods with the same technology. Following the logic of the Heckscher-Ohlin model from Chapter 4, what will be the incentive for migration once trade is established between these two countries? Now, suppose that a tariff by one country creates an incentive for labor migration. From which country to which country will be the migration?

Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer: Once trade is established, there is no longer any incentive for (economic-based) immigration, since the real wages will be equalized in both. If a tariff is established

in Australia, then the price of the labor intensive good will be higher in Australia, as

will be the marginal product of labor and hence the real wage of workers there.

Hence, workers will immigrate from Sri-Lanka to Australia until the two domestic

prices are equalized.

3. Use the diagram below derived from Figure 4-4 to identify the pre-trade situation for Australia

and Sri-Lanka, as discussed in question 2 above. Where on the K/L axis will you find each of the two countries? Which of the two countries has a higher relative wage, w/r? Which product is the labor intensive, and which is the land intensive one? Show where the relative price of cloth to food will be found once trade opens between these two countries. Show where the

relative wages of each will appear.

Answer: You will find Sri-Lanka to the left of Australia on the K/L axis.

Australia has a higher relative wage.

Food is the land intensive product.

The relative price P C/P F is found between the two autarkic prices.

The post trade relative wage is between the two autarkic ones on the vertical axis. 4. Using the figure above from question 3, demonstrate what happens to the composition of

production (that is quantity of cloth per 1 unit of food) in Australia once trade is established between the two countries. Which country will export cloth? What happens to the relative

income of workers in Australia as a result of trade? Does it increase or decrease? Would land owners in Australia lobby for or against free trade? Would land owners in Australia lobby for or against free admittance of immigrant workers?

Answer: The proportion of food to cloth will increase in the production of Australia Sri Lanka will export cloth. The relative (and real) incomes of workers will fall in Australia as

a result of trade. Land Owners in Australia should lobby in favor of trade. They

would also lobby for free labor mobility (of workers into Australia), since the

marginal product of labor is high, the owners of land have much (Ricardian) rents to

gain from an inflow of workers.

5. Imagine that the relative capital abundance of Australia was so much greater than that of Sri-

Lanka, that we would have to locate Australia far to the right on the K/L axis. If this were so far to the right that there was no area of overlap on the w/r axis, then what product would

Australia export? Is this answer different from that in question 4 above? Will the relative

wages as calculated now be the same or different from those calculated in question 4?

Answer: Australia would still export food, which is the same as in question 4. As a result of trade, wages will fall in Australia and will rise in Sri-Lanka. However, in this case,

the wages in Australia will remain higher than in Sri-Lanka, creating an incentive for

migration from the latter to the former country.

国际经济学课后答案解析

第一章绪论 1、列举出体现当前国际经济学问题的一些重要事件,他们为什么重要?他们都是怎么影响中国与欧、美、日的经济和政治关系的?当前的国际金融危机最能体现国际经济学问题,其深刻地影响了世界各国的金融、实体经济、政治等领域,也影响了各国之间的关系因此显得尤为重要;其对中国与欧、美、日的政治和经济关系的影响为:减少中国对上述国家的出口,影响中国外汇储备,贸易摩擦加剧,经济联系加强,因而也会导致中国与上述国家在政治上的对话与合作。 2、我们如何评价一国与他国之间的相互依赖程度?我们可以通过一国的对外贸易依存度来评价该国与他国之间的相互依赖程度,也可以通过其他方式来评价比如一国政府政策的溢出效应和回震效应以及对外贸易对国民生活水平的影响。 3、国际贸易理论及国际贸易政策研究的内容是什么?为什么说他们是国际经济学的微观方面?国际贸易理论分析贸易的基础和所得,国际贸易政策考察贸易限制和新保护主义的原因和效果。国际贸易理论和政策是国际经济学的微观方面,因为他们把国家看作基本单位,并研究单个商品的(相对)价格。 4、什么是外汇交易市场及国际收支平衡表?调节国际收支平衡意味着什么?为什么说他们是国际经济学的宏观方面?什么是宏观开放经济学及国际金融?外汇交易市场描述一国货币与他国货币交换的框架,国际收支平衡表测度了一国与外部世界交易的总收入与总支出的情况。调节国际收支平衡意味着调节一国与外部世界交易出现的不均衡(赤字或盈余);由于国际收支平衡表涉及总收入和总支出,调节政策影响国家收入水平和价格总指数,因而他们是国际经济学的宏观方面;外汇交易及国际收支平衡调节涉及总收入和总支出,调整政策影响国家收入水平和价格总指数,这些内容被称为宏观开放经济学或国际金融。 5、浏览报刊并做下列题目:(1)找出5条有关国际经济学的新闻(2)每条新闻对中国经济的重要性或影响(3)每条新闻对你个人有何影响 A (1) 国际金融危机: 影响中国整体经济,降低出口、增加失业、经济减速等 (2) 美国大选:影响中美未来经济政治关系 (3) 石油价格持续下跌:影响中国的能源价格及相关产业 (4) 可口可乐收购汇源被商务部否决:《反垄断法》的第一次实施,加强经济法治 (5) 各国政府经济刺激方案:对中国经济产生外部性效应B 以上5条新闻对个人影响为:影响个人消费水平和就业前景 第二章比较优势理论 1、重商主义者的贸易观点如何?他们的国家财富概念与现在有何不同?重商主义者主张政府应当竭尽所能孤立出口,不主张甚至限制商品(尤其是奢侈类消费品)。重商主义者认为国家富强的方法是尽量使出口大于进口,而出超的结果是金银等贵重金属流入,而一个国家拥有越多的金银,就越富有越强大。现在认为一个国家生产力即生产商品的能力越高则一国越富强 2、亚当.斯密主张的贸易基础和贸易模式分别是什么?贸易所得是如何产生的?斯密倡导什么样的国际贸易基础?他认为政府在经济生活中的适当功能是什么?亚当.斯密主张的贸易基础是绝对优势;贸易模式为两国通过专门生产自己有绝对优势的产品并用其中一部分来交换器有绝对劣势的商品。通过生产绝对优势商品并交换,资源可以被最有效的使用,而且两种商品的产出会有很大的增长,通过交换就会消费比以前更多的商品从而产生了贸易所得;斯密倡导自由贸易,主张自由放任也就是政府尽可能少干涉经济

克鲁格曼《国际经济学》(国际金融)习题答案要点

〈〈国际经济学》(国际金融)习题答案要点 第12章国民收入核算与国际收支 1、如问题所述,GNP仅仅包括最终产品和服务的价值是为了避免重复计算的问题。 在国民收入账户中,如果进口的中间品价值从GNP中减去,出口的中间品价值加 到GNP中,重复计算的问题将不会发生。例如:美国分别销售钢材给日本的丰田公司和美国的通用汽车公司。其中出售给通用公司的钢材,作为中间品其价值不被计算到美国的GNP中。出售给日本丰田公司的钢材,钢材价值通过丰田公司进入日本的GNP,而最终没有进入美国的国民收入账户。所以这部分由美国生产要素创造的中间品价值应该从日本的GNP中减去,并加入美国的GNP。 2、(1)等式12-2可以写成CA =(S P-I)? (T -G)。美国更高的进口壁垒对私人储蓄、投资和政府赤字有比较小或没有影响。(2)既然强制性的关税和配额对这些变量没有影响,所以贸易壁垒不能减少经常账户赤字。 不同情况对经常账户产生不同的影响。例如,关税保护能提高被保护行业的投资,从而使经常账户恶化。(当然,使幼稚产业有一个设备现代化机会的关税保护是合理的。)同时,当对投资中间品实行关税保护时,由于受保护行业成本的提高可能使该行业投资下降,从而改善经常项目。一般地,永久性和临时性的关税保护有不同的效果。这个问题的要点是:政策影响经常账户方式需要进行一般均衡、宏观分析。 3、 (1)、购买德国股票反映在美国金融项目的借方。相应地,当美国人通过他的瑞士银行账户用支票支付时,因为他对瑞士请求权减少,故记入美国金融项目的贷方。这是美国用一个外国资产交易另外一种外国资产的案例。 (2)、同样,购买德国股票反映在美国金融项目的借方。当德国销售商将美国支票存入德国银行并且银行将这笔资金贷给德国进口商(此时,记入美国经常项目的贷 方)或贷给个人或公司购买美国资产(此时,记入美国金融项目的贷方)。最后,银行采取的各项行为将导致记入美国国际收支表的贷方。 (3)、法国政府通过销售其持有在美国银行的美元存款干预外汇市场,代表美国金融项目的借方项目。购买美元的法国公民如果使用它们购买美国商品,这将记入美国国际收支账户经常项目的贷方;如果用来购买美国资产,这将记入美国国际收支账户金融项目的贷方。 (4)假定签发旅行支票的公司使用支票账户在法国进行支付。当此公司支付餐费给 法国餐馆时,记入美国经常项目的借方。签发旅行支票的公司必须销售资产(消耗 其在法国的支票账户)来支付,从而减少了公司在法国拥有的资产,这记入美国金融项目的贷方。 (5)、没有市场交易发生。 (6)离岸交易不影响美国国际收支账户。 4、购买answering machine记入New York收支账户的经常项目借方,记入New Jersey 收支账户经常项目的贷方。当New Jersey的公司将货款存入New York银行时,记入New York的金融项目的贷方和New Jersey金融项目的借方。如果交易用现金进 行支付,则记入New Jersey金融项目的借方和New York金融项目的贷方。New Jersey 获得美元现钞(从New York进口资产),而New York则减少了美元(出口美元资产)。最后的调整类似于金本位制下发生的情况。5、

第一章国际经济学教案导论(可编辑修改word版)

一、国际经济学的含义 第一章绪论 第一节国际经济学的产生与发展 研究开放条件下的生产、交换行为以及价格、货币和宏观政策。由国际贸易经济学和国际货币经济学组成。(研究世界范围内商品、服务和资本的生产、分配和消费活动的学科) 二、国际经济学的产生 1、家政学:家庭是经济行为的基本单位,追求在收入既定情况下的福利最大化。 家政学――家庭―――收入既定福利最大 2、微观经济学:微观经济学以企业为经济活动中心,研究企业在资源既定的条件下获得最大的利润,消费者在收入既定的条件下获得最大的效用。 微观经济学着重探讨生产什么、为谁生产、如何生产。 3、宏观经济学:研究国民经济,对一个国家的经济总量(如经济增长、就业等)进行分析。宏观经济的目标包括经济增长、充分就业、稳定物价和国际收支平衡。 4、国际经济学 随着历史的发展,国家间的经济往来日益频繁,彼此经济关系日益紧密,国家于是成为国际经济往来和活动的主体,出现了各种国际经济往来的形式,国际经济因而产生。为了探讨国际经济关系的内在联系,就有必要产生独立的经济学分支学科,即国际经济学。 国际经济学是西方经济学的一般理论在国际经济中的延伸和应用,是西方经济学的分支 学科。 国际经济学的两大特征 (1)国际交易不同于国内交易。国际交易中普遍存在对贸易和要素流动的自然的和人为的阻碍。如,劳动力和资本在国家间的流动性远远低于其在一国之内自由流动的程度;关税和非关税壁垒在一国之内一般是不存在的;各国使用不同的货币,使得国际交易远比国内交易复杂得多。 (2)国际经济关系发生在各个独立的经济实体之间。各国政府制定政策考虑的往往是本国的福利和稳定,而非全世界的福利和稳定,因此往往导致在一国看来是最佳的选择,而在世界范围内看并非最佳;此外,经济间的连锁机制使得一国的经济政策,如财政政策和货币政策,不仅会影响着本国的资源配置,同时还会影响他国的资源配置。 三、国际经济学的发展 1、国际贸易理论的发展 (1)古典贸易理论:斯密的绝对优势理论、李嘉图的比较优势理论 (2)新古典贸易理论:国际贸易理论的标准模型、H-O 模型 (3)当代贸易理论:打破了已往的“规模收益不变和完全竞争”的基本假设,研究重点由国家间的差异转向市场结构和厂商行为方面,着重研究不完全竞争市场下国际贸易的新特点以及贸易政策。 2、国际金融理论的发展 (1)金本位制下的“价格-铸币流动机制” (2)布雷顿森林体系下的国际收支收入调节机制 (3)浮动汇率下的国际收支货币分析方法 (4)开放经济动态变化的跨时分析方法

国际经济学(国际金融部分)

国际经济学(国际金融部分) 导言 国际金融是研究国际货币和资本运动规律及其影响因素的一门科学。它涉及国际收支、外汇实务、国际借贷、国际风险、国际货币制度等方面的基本理论、基本知识和基本技能,是学习进行国际经济、贸易、金融、投资等各项涉外业务活动的基础。 当今世界经济一体化发展势不可挡,国际金融所发挥的作用和影响范围也越来越大。国际金融市场将世界各国经济紧密的联系在一起。因此,一国外汇市场上的风云变幻可能引起多方面的经济波动。这些波动也可能对世界经济造成重要的影响。同样,多种经济活动也会对国际金融形成多方面的影响。学习和研究现代国际金融和实务具有非常重要的理论意义和实际意义。 第1章国际收支 1.1 国际收支的基本概念 1.1.1 国际收支的含义 国际收支(Balance of Payments)即为国际间的外汇收支,反映一个国家在一定时期(通常为一年)内同其它国家在政治、经济、文化等方面交往所发生的外汇收支的总和。一国的国际收支经常是不平衡的。如果收支大于支出,有了盈余,这个差额就叫国际收支顺差(Surplus);如果支出大于收入,则出现亏损,这个差额就叫国际收支逆差(Deficit).一般在顺差之前,冠以“+”号(多省略);在逆差之前,冠以“-”号,或以红字书写表示国际收支发生了赤字。 国际货币基金组织(IMF)对国际收支下的定义是:“在一定时期内,一国居民对其他国家的居民所进行的全部经济交易的记录。“居民”一词包括居留在一国的一切人(居住一年以上的)、各种机构和政府机关,实际上在该国从事经营的企业(如外国企业的分支机构)也算居民;逗留时间在一年以上的留学生,旅游者也算所在国居民。而外交人员和外国部队系临时居住性质,不属于居民;国际性机构不属于任何一国居民。 1.2 国际收支平衡表 1.2.1 国际收支平衡表的概念 国际收支平衡表(Balance of Payments Statement)是指在一定时期内,对于一国与他国居民之间所进行的一切经济交易交易系统记录的报表。 国际收支平衡表是按照复式簿记的原理编制出来的表格。一切国际金融交易都在国际收支平衡表上的借贷双方得到表示。 1.2 国际收支平衡表 国际收支平衡表中每一笔具体的国际经济交易,在甚麽情况下列入贷方?在甚麽情况下列入借方? 处理这一问题的原则是:任何国际金融交易,凡是使本国对外付款的列入借方,凡是使外国对本国付款或负有付款义务的列在贷方。

《国际经济学》(国际金融)习题答案要点 (1)

《国际经济学》(国际金融)习题答案要点 第12章 国民收入核算与国际收支 1、如问题所述,GNP 仅仅包括最终产品和服务的价值是为了避免重复计算的问题。在国民收入账户中,如果进口的中间品价值从GNP 中减去,出口的中间品价值加到GNP 中,重复计算的问题将不会发生。例如:美国分别销售钢材给日本的丰田公司和美国的通用汽车公司。其中出售给通用公司的钢材,作为中间品其价值不被计算到美国的GNP 中。出售给日本丰田公司的钢材,钢材价值通过丰田公司进入日本的GNP ,而最终没有进入美国的国民收入账户。所以这部分由美国生产要素创造的中间品价值应该从日本的GNP 中减去,并加入美国的GNP 。 2、(1)等式12-2可以写成()()p CA S I T G = -+-。美国更高的进口壁垒对私人储蓄、投资和政府赤字有比较小或没有 影响。(2)既然强制性的关税和配额对这些变量没有影响,所以贸易壁垒不能减少经常账户赤字。 不同情况对经常账户产生不同的影响。例如,关税保护能提高被保护行业的投资,从而使经常账户恶化。(当然,使幼稚产业有一个设备现代化机会的关税保护是合理的。)同时,当对投资中间品实行关税保护时,由于受保护行业成本的提高可能使该行业投资下降,从而改善经常项目。一般地,永久性和临时性的关税保护有不同的效果。这个问题的要点是:政策影响经常账户方式需要进行一般均衡、宏观分析。 3、 (1)、购买德国股票反映在美国金融项目的借方。相应地,当美国人通过他的瑞士银行账户用支票支付时,因为他对瑞士请求权减少,故记入美国金融项目的贷方。这是美国用一个外国资产交易另外一种外国资产的案例。 (2)、同样,购买德国股票反映在美国金融项目的借方。当德国销售商将美国支票存入德国银行并且银行将这笔资金贷给德国进口商(此时,记入美国经常项目的贷方)或贷给个人或公司购买美国资产(此时,记入美国金融项目的贷方)。最后,银行采取的各项行为将导致记入美国国际收支表的贷方。 (3)、法国政府通过销售其持有在美国银行的美元存款干预外汇市场,代表美国金融项目的借方项目。购买美元的法国公民如果使用它们购买美国商品,这将记入美国国际收支账户经常项目的贷方;如果用来购买美国资产,这将记入美国国际收支账户金融项目的贷方。 (4)假定签发旅行支票的公司使用支票账户在法国进行支付。当此公司支付餐费给法国餐馆时,记入美国经常项目的借方。签发旅行支票的公司必须销售资产(消耗其在法国的支票账户)来支付,从而减少了公司在法国拥有的资产,这记入美国金融项目的贷方。 (5)、没有市场交易发生。 (6)离岸交易不影响美国国际收支账户。 4、购买answering machine 记入New York 收支账户的经常项目借方,记入New Jersey 收支账户经常项目的贷方。当New Jersey 的公司将货款存入New York 银行时,记入New York 的金融项目的贷方和New Jersey 金融项目的借方。如果交易用现金进行支付,则记入New Jersey 金融项目的借方和New York 金融项目的贷方。New Jersey 获得美元现钞(从New York 进口资产),而New York 则减少了美元(出口美元资产)。最后的调整类似于金本位制下发生的情况。 5、 (1)、非储备金融项目余额为盈余5亿美元,而经常项目赤字10亿美元,所以当年Pecunia 国际收支余额(官方结算余额)为-500万美元。该国不得不为弥补经常项目赤字提供一亿美元的资金,所以该国当年净国外资产减少1亿美元。 (2)、Pecunia 中央银行为经常项目赤字提供的资金不能由私人资本流动来弥补。仅仅当外国中央银行需要Pecunia 资产时才能使Pecunia 中央银行避免使用5亿美元储备来为弥补经常项目赤字提供资金。因此,Pecunia 中央银行储备资产减少了5亿美元,这部分在其国际收支表上将以官方资本形式流入(同样的数量)。 (3)、如果外国官方资本流入Pecunia 6亿美元,则该国有1亿美元的国际收支盈余。即,该国需要10亿来弥补经常项目赤字,但有11亿流入了该国。因此,Pecunia 中央银行必须使用额外的一个亿借贷给国外从而增加其储备。被外国中央银行购买的Pecunia 资产作为流出进入该他们国家的国际收支账户借方。基本原理是该交易导致外国对出售资产方的Pecunia 支付。 (4)、与非中央银行交易一起,Pecunia 国际收支账户将表现为外国官方储备资产增加6亿美元(金融项目贷方或资本流入)和Pecunia 在国外持有的官方储备资产增加1亿美元(金融项目借方或资本外流)。当然,净资本流入1亿美元仅仅用来弥补经常项目赤字。 6、 从长期来看,经常项目赤字或盈余是一种非稳定的状态。下面是一个赤字被重视例子。例如,为了未来有较高的国民收入而现在借款提高其生产能力。但是,经常项目赤字的任何时期,为了支付对外国人发生的债务,意味着由于缺少收入而减少相应时期的支出。在缺乏良好的投资机会时,相对于收入,一国最好的方式可能是在一段时期内进行消费方面的调整。 一国中央银行持有的外汇储备随着其官方结算余额非零而发生变化。中央银行利用外汇储备来影响外汇汇率。外汇储备的减少将会限制中央银行影响或盯住汇率的能力。对于一些国家(特别是发展中国家),当向国外借款困难时,中央银行储备是保持消费与投资的重要方式。高储备也可以起到传递信号的作用,使国外的借款者确信对该国信贷是值得的。 7、官方结算余额也称为国际收支余额,它表示相对于由外国政府机构持有的美元储备变化,由美国政府机构(如美联储、财政部)持有的国际储备的净变化额。这个账户提供了外汇市场上干预程度的部分情况。例如,假设Bundesbank 购买美元并存入London bank 的欧洲非美国银行的账户。虽然这项交易是干预的形式,但并不会反映在美国官方结算余额。相反,当London bank 将这笔存款划给其在美国的账户,此交易将以私人资本流的形式出现。 8、可以,如果资本与金融项目盈余超过经常项目赤字。国际收支余额等于经常项目盈余加上资本金融项目盈余。如:经常项目赤字100万美元,但存在比较大的资本流入且资本与金融项目盈余102万美元,故国际收支存在2万的盈余。 这个问题可以用来介绍外汇市场干预(第17章)。在20世纪80年代的上上半期,美国政府对外汇市场无任何干预。1982-1985年间,实际数字显示国际收支存在较小的盈余,教材结果是国际收支余额为零,而这些年经常项目存在明显的较大赤字。因此,1982-1985年美国资本流入超过了其经常项目的赤字。 第13章 汇率与外汇市场:资产方法 1、汇率为每欧元1.5美元时,一条德国香肠bratwurst 等于三条hot dog 。其他不变时,当美元升值至1.25$per Euro, 一条德国香肠bratwurst 等价于2.5个hot dog 。相对于初始阶段,hot dog 变得更贵。
