Answer to Question 1

An expansionary fiscal policy will cause the equilibrium rate of interest to increase. An expansionary monetary policy will cause the equilibrium rate of interest to decrease. An expansionary monetary policy will therefore lessen the effect of crowding out in the short run.

Answer to Question 2

In an open economy, the saving and investment equation implies that a country's national saving must always equal domestic investment plus net foreign investment or (S = I + NFI). Japan's saving in excess of domestic investment implies that net foreign investment is positive for Japan so that Japan must be investing in other countries. Companies like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have built plants in the United States.
