Overview
This lecture is based on the chapter „The Open
Economy” from G. Mankiw „Macroeconomics”
This lecture reviews
accounting identities for the open economy
the small open economy model
what makes it “small”
how the trade balance and exchange rate are
determined
how policies affect trade balance & exchange
rate

slide 2
Why learn this?
To understand:
what trade surpluses and trade deficits are.
the link between the trade balance and net capital
outflow or net lending to/borrowing from abroad
why countries have huge trade deficits?
what can the government do about this?

In an open economy,
spending need not equal output
saving need not equal investment

Trade surpluses and deficits
trade surplus:
output > spending and exports > imports
Size of the trade surplus = NX
trade deficit:
spending > output and imports > exports
Size of the trade deficit = –NX
NX = EX – IM = Y – (C + I + G )

International capital flows
Net capital outflow
= S – I
= net (out)flow of “loanable funds”
= net purchases of foreign assets the country’s purchases of foreign assets
minus foreign purchases of domestic assets
When S > I, country is a net lender (funds flow
out)
When S < I, country is a net borrower (funds flow
in)
![Page 10: The classical model of the SMALL OPEN economycoin.wne.uw.edu.pl/siwinska/Ma_OE1.pdf · The classical model of the SMALL OPEN economy Open Economy Macroeconomics Dr hab.

slide 9
The link between trade & cap. flows
NX = Y – (C + I + G )
implies
NX = (Y – C – G ) – I
= S – I
trade balance = net capital outflow
Thus,
a country with a trade deficit (NX < 0)
is a net borrower (S < I ).

Investment
Recall from your macro course:
Profit max. implies MPK = user cost
User cost in its simplest form is:
uc=(r+d)
Hence, ceteris paribus, as r falls, the DESIRED
level of capital stock increases, hence
investment increases

Saving and Investment in a Small
Open Economy
Result: rw may be such that Sd > Id, Sd = Id, or Sd < Id
If Sd > Id, the excess of desired saving over desired
investment is lent internationally
(net foreign lending is positive) and NX > 0
If Sd = Id, there is no net foreign lending and
NX = 0
If Sd < Id, the excess of desired investment
over desired saving is financed by borrowing
internationally (net foreign lending is negative) and
NX < 0

Recall that national saving is a sum of
government saving and private saving
The previous slide assumed that the change in
fiscal policy will not affect private savings
However, recall Ricardian Equivalence that
holds that a change in public saving will be offset
by the change in private saving

The Ricardian view
due to David Ricardo (1820),
more recently advanced by Robert Barro
According to Ricardian equivalence,
a debt-financed tax cut has no effect on
consumption, national saving, net exports, or
real GDP, even in the short run.
![Page 28: The classical model of the SMALL OPEN economycoin.wne.uw.edu.pl/siwinska/Ma_OE1.pdf · The classical model of the SMALL OPEN economy Open Economy Macroeconomics Dr hab. Joanna Siwińska-Gorzelak](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042001/5e6ddd222f084b162926c6fa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
slide 27
The logic of Ricardian Equivalence
Consumers are forward-looking,
know that a debt-financed tax cut today
implies an increase in future taxes
that is equal – in present value – to the tax cut.
The tax cut does not make consumers better off,
so they do not increase consumption spending.
Instead, they save the full tax cut in order to repay
the future tax liability.
Result: Private saving rises by the amount
public saving falls, leaving national saving
unchanged.

ε in the real world & our model
In the real world:
We can think of ε as the relative price of
a basket of domestic goods in terms of a
basket of foreign goods
In our macro model:
There’s just one good, “output.”
So ε is the relative price of one country’s
output in terms of the other country’s output

Next, four experiments:
1. Fiscal policy at home
2. Fiscal policy abroad
3. An increase in investment demand
4. Trade policy to restrict imports

1. Fiscal policy at home
A fiscal expansion
reduces national
saving, increases
net capital inflow,
and the supply of
home currency
in the foreign
exchange market…
…causing the real exchange
rate to appreciate and NX to
decline (i.e. trade DEFICT to
increase)

2. Fiscal policy abroad
An increase in r*
reduces
investment,
increasing net
capital outflow and
the supply of home

foreign exchange
market…

exchange rate to
depreciate and NX to
rise.

Implications for growth
Recall the Solow growth model, where the
setady state level of capital per labour depends
on the amount of savings
This no longer holds, as the level of investment
– at least in theory – is detached from savings
The steady-state value of capital stock should
depend on world interest rate and on country’s
marginal product of capital

Chapter Summary
Net exports--the difference between
exports and imports
a country’s output (Y )
and its spending (C + I + G)
Net capital outflow equals
purchases of foreign assets
minus foreign purchases of the country’s assets
the difference between saving and investment

Chapter Summary
National income accounts identities:
Y = C + I + G + NX
trade balance NX = S I net capital outflow
Impact of policies on NX :
NX increases if policy causes S to rise
or I to fall
NX does not change if policy affects
neither S nor I. Example: trade policy

Chapter Summary
Exchange rates
nominal: the price of a country’s currency in
terms of another country’s currency
real: the price of a country’s goods in terms of
another country’s goods
The real exchange rate equals the nominal rate
times the ratio of prices of the two countries.

Chapter Summary
How the real exchange rate is determined
NX depends negatively on the real exchange
rate, other things equal
The real exchange rate adjusts to equate
NX with net capital outflow
