B. Short answer (25 marks total) Answer each of the questions in Section B. Answers should typically be no more than 2-3 sentences in length.

1. In the Mundell-Fleming model, what are the two endogenous variables that appear in the goods-market equilibrium condition (after substituting in all relevant functions, e.g., C = C(Y ? T), etc.)? How does this compare to the case in the (closed economy) IS-LM model? Be sure to explain the reason for any differences

2. Briefly describe how “debt deflation” works; that is, how this mechanism might cause an unexpected fall in the price level to produce a large fall in output (e.g., in the Great Depression).

3. Consider the IS-LM model, and suppose G increases by ?G units. In general equilibrium, does output increase by more, less, or the same amount as µG × ?G (where µG is the government spending multiplier introduced in chapter 10)? Be sure to explain why this is the answer.

4. Suppose domestic inflation is positive (? > 0), foreign inflation is zero (? ? = 0), and the central bank is operating a fixed exchange rate (%?e = 0). What, if anything, will happen to the real exchange rate ? Be sure to explain in words what is going on.

5. In the context of the Solow model, explain briefly how the current level of capital k affects the change in the level of capital from today to tomorrow (i.e., if k were higher, in what ways would that affect ?k). Be sure to explain all of the effects.
