Answer to Question 1

The volume effect takes place when consumer spending shifts on export and import quantities, while the value effect results when the domestic output worth of a given amount of foreign imports is changed. It is assumed that the volume effect outweighs the value effect, so that, other things equal, a real depreciation of the currency improves the current account.
