Question
Which statement is true?A.When net capital outflows are positive, net exports are negative.B.In a small open economy, if exports equal 9 billion, than there is trade deficit and NCO is positive.C.For the LM curve, both taxes and government spending are fixed.D.In the IS-LM model, interest rate links the market for goods and services and the market for real money balances.
Solution
The statement that is true is D. In the IS-LM model, interest rate links the market for goods and services and the market for real money balances.
Here's why:
A. This statement is not necessarily true. Net capital outflows being positive means that a country is investing more abroad than foreign entities are investing in it. This does not automatically mean that net exports are negative.
B. This statement is incorrect. A trade deficit (imports > exports) does not automatically mean that the Net Capital Outflow (NCO) is positive. NCO is the difference between the purchase of foreign assets by domestic residents and the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners. It's possible to have a trade deficit and negative NCO.
C. This statement is incorrect. In the LM curve, taxes and government spending are not fixed. The LM curve represents the relationship between interest rates and the level of income that arises from equilibrium in the money market. It does not directly involve taxes or government spending.
D. This statement is true. In the IS-LM model, the interest rate is the key factor that links the market for goods and services (represented by the IS curve) and the market for real money balances (represented by the LM curve). Changes in the interest rate affect both investment (and therefore output) and the demand for money.
