Solution

The IS-LM model for an open economy represents the relationship between output and interest rates. The IS curve (Investment-Savings) represents the equilibrium in the goods market, while the LM curve (Liquidity preference-Money supply) represents the equilibrium in the money market.

The IP (International Parity) curve, also known as the BP (Balance of Payments) curve, represents the equilibrium in the foreign exchange market. It shows combinations of interest rates and output levels that result in a balance of payments equilibrium.

Here's how the given changes would affect the IP curve:

  1. A monetary expansion in the home economy: This would increase the money supply, shifting the LM curve to the right. It would not directly affect the IP curve.

  2. A fiscal expansion at home that increased equilibrium output at home: This would increase demand for goods and services, shifting the IS curve to the right. It would not directly affect the IP curve.

  3. A fiscal contraction in the foreign economy resulting in weaker foreign demand: This would decrease the demand for the home country's exports, which would shift the IS curve to the left. It would also shift the IP curve to the right, as the decrease in demand for exports would worsen the home country's balance of payments.

  4. A monetary contraction in the foreign economy: This would decrease the foreign money supply, increasing foreign interest rates. This could attract investment from the home country, worsening the home country's balance of payments and shifting the IP curve to the right.

So, the changes that would result in a shift of the IP curve are a fiscal contraction in the foreign economy resulting in weaker foreign demand, and a monetary contraction in the foreign economy.
