• Departing from the closed economy model, we’ve added net exports, NX,
defined as X - M.
• Also, note that domestic spending on all goods and services is the sum of
domestic spending on domestics goods and services and on foreign goods

and services.
Y = C + I + G + NX
So the national income accounts identity can be re-written as:
NX = Y - (C + I + G)
• Financial linkages
– Residents of one country invest in another countries or vice versa
• e.g. FII (Foreign institutional investor) and FDI (Foreign direct investment). Tata’s
purchase of Jaguar or land rover in the UK is an FDI outflow.
• Current account
– records trade in goods (merchandise trade balance)
– Services (Shipping, insurance, software, foreign travel, etc.)
– Investment income/Net factor income from abroad: Return of the investment in
foreign assets, and factor income from residents working abroad
– Transfer payments (Grants from world bank and external agencies, remittances)
• Capital account
– records private and government purchases and sales of assets, such as stocks,
bonds, FII, FDI
– Change in the official foreign reserves (to balance the difference between current
account and remaining items of capital account): Balance of Payment
deficit/surplus
Debit and Credit
• Rule: When you receive foreign exchange it is an
surplus/credit entry. When you pay foreign exchange it is
deficit/debit entry

Identify the Transaction(s)
• You are dealer of apple of products in India.
You import Rs 5 Cr worth product on a credit
note (you have received the product, but not
paid at the moment, you will pay 180 days
later which fall in the next year).
• Current account balance is essentially difference between domestic savings and investments.
• If the savings > investment, there is an equivalent lending abroad (capital account deficit, and vice-versa
• Central bank holds reserves to sell when it needs to intervene in the foreign
exchange market
• Central bank is willing to accumulate reserves by buying foreign currency when it
needs to intervene in the foreign exchange market

Balance of Payment
• The balance of payments measures the amount of foreign
exchange intervention needed from the central banks
– Ex. If India is running a current account deficit (CAD) but net
private capital inflows exceed the CAD, then the supply for dollars
in exchange for rupee exceeds the demand of dollars in exchange
for rupee
®Under a fixed exchange rate, RBI must absorb the excess supply
by buying dollars in exchange of rupee
®Makes it necessary to hold an inventory for foreign currencies.
• This value lasted until the U.S. dollar devalued in 1971, since
then we shifted to a system somewhat resembling to crawling
peg against a basket of currency targeting to maintain real
exchange rate, and then to managed/dirty float in 1991

Rupee per USD
• The real exchange rate is the relative price of the goods of two countries.
• Price of iPhone in USA = $ 500, in India = Rs 26,000
Real Exchange Rate (e) = Nominal Exchange Rate (e) Price of Foreign Good (Pf )
Price of Domestic Good (Pd)
e = (50 × 500) / 26000
is falling over time then e should rise to maintain real exchange rate
Fixed exchange rate with high inflation rates will require constant devaluation.

Trade in Goods, Market Equilibrium, and the
Balance of Trade
• Need to incorporate foreign trade into the IS-LM model
– Assume the price level is given, and output demanded will be
supplied (flat AS curve)
• With foreign trade, domestic spending no longer solely
determines domestic output spending on domestic
goods determines domestic output
Spending by domestic residents is
Spending on domestic goods is
𝐷𝑆+𝑁𝑋=(𝐶+𝐼+𝐺)+(𝑋 −𝑀)
DS depends on the interest rate and income:
Relooking at National Income Identity
• How does a nation earn Where
Y = Cd + Id + Gd + Xd • Superscript d refers to spending on
domestically produced goods &
services.
• How does a nation spend • Superscript f refers to imported goods
C = Cd + Cf & services
I = Id + If • Now
G = Gd + Gf Y = (C – Cf ) + (I - If ) + (G - Gf ) + X
Y = C + I + G + X – (Cf + If + Gf)
• Or Y=C+I+G+X–M
Cd = C - Cf,
X- M = Y – (C + I + G)
Id = I - If
Gd = G - Gf
X = Xd

Net Exports

®A rise in foreign income improves the home country’s trade balance
and raises its AD
®A real depreciation by the home country improves the trade balance
and increases AD
®A rise in home income raises import spending and worsens the trade
balance
Will export be an autonomous component ?
• Lets assume that there is another country RoW (rest of the world)
• RoW also have autonomous components (C RoW, GRoW, and IRoW )for YRoW.
• Imports of RoW depend on YRoW which influence MRoW level through MPCfRoW
• Since MRoW are exports of domestic economy, from the domestic economy's
perspective exports are autonomous (independent of the income level of
the domestic economy).

Capital Mobility
• High degree of integration among financial markets
markets in which bonds and stocks are traded
• Consider alternative of investing in 1-year treasury bills in the United States and the
alternative of investing in 1-year Indian treasury bills.
• US treasury bill investment this year will become = $ 1.02 next year
• Indian interest rate should be attractive enough to make Rs 50 into 55*1.02 = 56.1 next
year i.e., give you an interest rate of 12.2 %
– The trade balance is a function of domestic and foreign income, real exchange
rate
An increase in domestic income worsens the trade balance
– The capital account depends on the interest differential
An increase in the interest rate above the world level pulls in capital from abroad,
improving the capital account

Beggar-Thy-Neighbour Policy and
Competitive Depreciation
• Depreciation of the USD raises its net exports and reduces the net exports for
rest of the world
• If the countries are different levels of business cycle (one is in recession and
other is in boom) then deprecation by country experiencing recession solves
troubles for both
• If both the countries are in recession, then the world demand is at a wrong
level, and this may lead to competitive depreciations
• Increase in income for China, Japan, and India will raise demand for
the US goods as well (think of multiplier model at the global level)
