Answer to Question 1

An increase in global saving reduces the world real interest rate, which lowers saving and raises investment in all open economies. This counteracts the initial increase in saving. In some economies, where the initial increase in saving is relatively small, the effect of the reduced interest rate will dominate, so that net exports (net capital outflow) will decline.

Answer to Question 2

D
