Answer to Question 1

Adjustment brings expenditure reduction and expenditure switching. Expenditure reduction means that government programs are likely to be cut back. Expenditure switching moves resources from production of domestic goods to production of goods for export. Both local demand and supply will drop, causing higher unemployment and lower incomes. Devaluation may also bring inflation, cutting into real incomes.
