Ceteris paribus, how does a recession in the United States affect U.S. net exports?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

As GDP decreases in the United States due to the recession, the incomes of households fall. Households respond by lowering their purchases of goods and services. Some of the decline in purchases includes domestic goods and services; some of the decline includes foreign produced goods and services. This essentially lowers imports. Assuming that exports do not change, net exports will rise.
