International Trade
The purpose of this assessment is to analyze two scenarios and use the principles of international trade.
Assessment Description:
Analyze the given scenarios and based on international trade and currency depreciation, answer the related questions.
- Scenario 1: Suppose the signs of an improvement in the U.S. economy lead international investors to resume lending to the U.S. government and businesses. Policymakers, however, are worried about how this will influence the dollar. How would this event affect the market for the dollar? How should the central bank, the Fed, respond to this event if it wants to keep the value of the dollar unchanged?
- Scenario 2: In 2014, the European Union banned the import of Indian mangoes. Recently, the ban was lifted and Indian mangoes were allowed to be imported in the European Union. Compare and contrast the change in the prices of mangoes in the local Indian market before and after the lifting of the ban.
