The Covid-19 coronavirus first struck in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province, at the end of 2019. It quickly spread beyond Asia. The policy responses have mostly been lockdowns of varying intensities and durations. Though there have been many national and even international curfews in the past, perhaps most prominently during the Second World War, there are no examples of lockdowns on a global scale deployed to counter the spread of disease. It is wholly novel to force significant proportions of the populations of the major world economies to stay at home, and mostly indoors. An important observation by economists is the interplay of demand and supply for personal protective equipment (PPE). With relevant facts and figures, you are required to
1. Identify and explain 5 determinants of demand for PPE.
2. Discuss 5 determinants of PPE supply.
3. Explain any two consequences of a shortage in the supply of PPE.

show how the short-run model would change with a decrease in domestic money supply, specifically noting the impact on domestic interest and the price level

Greece is a member of the Eurozone. It uses the Euro as its main currency. Hence, the Greek currency is fixed relative to other members of the Eurozone but the value of Euro fluctuates relative to other currencies. Hence we can view the Greek currency as being flexible relative to countries outside the Eurozone. Also note that for a prolonged period of time, the Greek government was spending more than it was raising in tax revenue. Creative accounting understated the size of government borrowing until the late 2000s before the real size of the government debt and deficit was revealed. 1A trade weighted nominal exchange rate is an average of the value of the Australian dollar against Australia’s twenty largest trading partners. 2 (a) Suppose Greece had its own currency, say the Drachma, and a flexible exchange rate. Describe what would have happened to the exchange rate when the real size of the government debt was revealed? What effect would this change in the exchange rate have upon the real economy in Greece? (b) Greece is a member of the Eurozone. What effect upon the Euro did revealing the size of government debt have upon the value of the Euro? What effect would this change in the exchange rate have upon the real economy in Greece? (c) What do you think were the costs for Greece of joining the Euorzone, and what do you think have been the benefits?

Explain the relationship between net capital outflows and a nation’s trade balance. Explain whether most (not Peter Navarro) economists consider a trade deficit to be an issue for the United States and why. Explain what purchasing power parity (PPP) implies about the relationship between nominal exchange rates and price levels. Explain whether PPP accurately portrays the current relationship nominal exchange rates and price levels across nations and why.
