  A) P will decrease over time until Y = Yn.
  B) A reduction in the pegged value of the domestic currency will cause a leftward shift of the AD curve.
  C) Net exports will increase as the economy adjusts to this situation.
  D) Domestic goods will become less competitive as the economy adjusts by itself.
  E) none of the above

Question 2

  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The decrease in s will cause a reduction in S/N and I/N. At the initial K/N, depreciation is more than investment. Alternatively, there is not enough investment to offset the amount of capital that wears out. So, the capital stock will decrease. This will cause a decrease in K/N, Y/N, and S/N. As Y/N falls, so will C/N. This is all shown easily with the graph of the model.
