Answer to Question 1

Revaluation. Policy makers could revalue the currency. This would cause a reduction in NX, and reduction in demand, and a reduction in Y. Graphically, the AD curve would shift to the left. Economy self-corrects. With Y above the natural level, the expected price level (or expected inflation) will rise causing W to rise. As W rises, P will rise. As P rises, a real appreciation occurs and NX falls. We would move along the AD curve.

Answer to Question 2
