陈雨露《国际金融》第4版章节练习及详解第四章离岸金融市场一、概念题1.国际金融市场(人大1999研)答:国际金融市场是指资金在国际间进行流动或金融产品在国际间进行买卖和交换的场所,它是开放经济运行的重要外部环境。

广义上的国际金融市场包括国际资金市场、外汇市场、国际保险市场和国际黄金市场;狭义上的国际金融市场特指国际资金市场,即国际间的资金借贷市场。

国际金融市场是由外国金融市场、欧洲货币市场与外汇市场这三部分所构成的相互联系的整体。

其中,从事货币兑换的外汇市场是国际金融市场的基础,外国金融市场是国内金融市场的对外延伸,欧洲货币市场是国际金融市场的核心。

按照资金融通的期限,国际金融市场可分为货币市场和资本市场。

前者是指短期资金交易的市场,又称为短期资金市场,如跨国发行商业票据融通资金;后者指长期资金交易的市场,又称为长期资金市场,如跨国发行外国债券或欧洲债券融通长期资金。

国际金融市场作为国际信贷中介,对于联系全球各地的生产、贸易活动起着重要的作用:①国际金融市场便利了国际资金的运用、调度和国际债务的结算,为扩大国际投资和国际贸易创造了条件,便利了借贷资本的国际流通和产业资本的国际移动。

②国际金融市场使国际金融渠道畅通,从而使一些国家能比较顺利地获得发展经济所急需的资金。

③国际金融市场在调节国际收支方面也起了不可忽视的作用。

第二次世界大战后,国际金融市场日益成为各国外汇资金的重要来源。

国际金融市场也有其不利和消极的一面,主要反映在国际资本流动冲击一些国家的国内经济,影响其国内货币政策的执行等问题上。

另外,国际金融市场还为国际走私、贩毒及其他金融犯罪活动提供了有利的场所,在一定程度上削弱了有关国家在这方面的执法力量。

2.离岸金融市场(人大1998研;北京工商大学2006研;中南财大2006研)答:离岸金融市场是国际金融市场的核心,是从事境外金融业务的金融市场。

离岸金融市场不是指某一市场的地理位置,而是指市场中交易的货币的性质。

国际金融学陈雨露第四版课后习题答案 第四章

第四章作业1.说说欧洲美元是什么意思。

答:欧洲美元并不是一种特殊的美元,它与美国国内流通的美元是同质的,具有相同的流动性和购买力。

所不同的是,欧洲美元不由美国境内金融机构经营,不受美联储相关银行法规、利率结构的约束。

这里的“欧洲”,是指“非国内的”、“境外的”、“离岸的”,并非地理意义上的。

2.欧洲美元市场的出现会影响美联储的货币政策吗?答:欧洲美元市场的优势在于不受任何国家法令限制,免税,不缴纳法定储备,流动性强,主要作为银行间同业短期资金批发市场,参与者多为商业银行、各国央行及政府,主要借款人为跨国公司,交易对象多为具有标准期限的定期存款,一般为短期,其余为可转让存单。

随着市场业务的不断拓展,目前欧洲美元市场的地理范围和借贷币种也正在不断扩大。

但由于它的流动性太强,不受约束,因而也是造成国际金融市场动荡不定的主要因素。

由此来看,它会影响美联储的货币政策。

4.欧洲货币市场运行是否存在信用膨胀问题?欧洲货币市场规模不断扩大是否会威胁国际金融稳定?答:存在信用膨胀问题。

欧洲货币市场作为实现国际资本转移的场所,其加速国际贸易的发展,促进国际金融密切联系的作用是其他国际金融市场和转移渠道无法相比、无法替代的。

欧洲货币市场是个信用市场,但它仍同远期外汇市场发生着紧密的联系。

在一些国际大银行中,欧洲货币交易往往就是通过其外汇业务部门而不是信贷部门进行的。

欧洲货币市场与外汇市场的结合,给市场带来了更广阔的活动空间。

与此同时,各国际金融中心除了信用评级机构和中央结算体系外,并没有任何正规的金融管理部门实施对欧洲货币市场上金融机构以及它们所进行的信贷业务活动的管理,在这种情况下,如何控制各个金融中心,乃至全球的欧洲货币市场信贷规模是一个重要问题。

欧洲货币市场并不大量增加金融系统创造货币和信贷的能力。

这并不意味着欧洲货币市场没有信用膨胀。

由于欧洲货币市场没有准备金规定,只受对借贷资本的需求和贷款机构本身的谨慎态度的限制,信用膨胀的可能性也很大。

Suggested an swers to questio ns and p roblems(in the textbook)Disagree, at least as a general statement. One meaning of a current account surplus is that thecountry is exporting more goods and services than itis importing. One might easily judge that this is not good — the country isp roduci ng goods and services that are exp orted, but the country is not at the same time getting the imports of goods and services that would allowdo more consump tio n and domestic inv estme nt. I n this way a curre nt acco unt deficit mightbe con sidered good — the extra imp orts allow the country to con sume and in vest domesticallymore tha n the value of its curre nt production. Another meaning of a current account surplus isthat the country is en gag ing in foreig n finan cial inv estme nt — it is buildi ng up its claimson foreig ners, and this adds to n ati onal wealth. This sounds good, but as no ted above it comesat the cost of forego ing curre nt domestic pu rchases of goods and services. A curre nt acco untdeficit is the country running dow n its claims on foreigners or increasing its indebtedness toforeigners. Thissounds bad, but it comeswith the ben efit of higher levels of curre nt domestic expen diture.Differe nt coun tries at differe nt times may weigh the bala nee of these costs and ben efitsdiffere ntly, so that we cannot simply say that a curre nt acco unt surplus is better tha n a current acco unt deficit.Disagree. If the country has a surplus (a p ositive value) for its official settleme nts bala nee, then the value for its official reserves bala nee must be a negative value of the sameamount (so that the two add to zero). A negative value for this asset item means that funds are flow ing out in order for the country to acquire more of these kinds of assets. Thus, the country is in creas ing its hold ings of official reserve assets.Item e is a tran sacti on in which foreig n official hold ings of U.S. assets in crease. This is a po sitive (credit) item for official reserve assets and a negative (debit) item for private capital flowsas the U.S. bank acquires pound bank depo sits. The debit item con tributes to a U.S. deficit in theofficial settleme nts bala nee (while the credit item is recorded "below the lin e," p ermitti ng the official settleme nts bala nee to be in deficit). All other transactions invoIve debit and credit items both of which are includedin the official settleme nts bala nee, so that they do not directly con tribute to a deficit (orsurpi us) in the official settleme nts bala nee.Chap ter 22. it 4. 6.8. a.

Its hold ing of intern ati onalassets equals its liabilities to foreig ners.b. A curre nt acco unt surplus p ermits the country to add to its net claims on foreig ners. For thisreas on the coun try's intern atio nal inv estme nt po siti on will becomea p ositive value. Theflow in crease in net foreig n assets results in the stock of net foreig n assets beco ming positive.Exports of merchandise and services result in supply of foreign currency in the foreig n exchange market. Domestic sellers ofte n want to be p aid using domestic curre ncy, while the foreign buyers want to pay in their curre ncy.In the p rocess of paying for these exp orts, foreig n curre ncy is excha nged for domestic currency, creat ing supply of foreig n curre ncy. Intern ati onalcap ital in flows result in a supply of foreig n curre ncy in the foreig n excha nge market. I nmaki ng inv estme nts in domestic finan cial assets, foreig ninvestors often start with foreign currency and must exchange it for domestic curre ncy before theycan buy the domestic assets. The excha nge creates a supply of foreig n curre ncy. Sales of foreign finan cial assets that the country's residents had previously acquired, and borrowing fromforeignersby this coun try's reside nts are other forms of cap ital in flow that can create supply of foreign curre ncy.The U.S. firm obta ins a quotatio n from its bank on the spot excha nge rate for buying yen withdollars. If the rate is acce ptable, the firm in structs its bank that it wants to use dollars fromits dollar check ing acco unt to buy 1 millio n yen at this spot excha nge rate. It also in structsits bank to send the yen to the bank acco unt of the Japan ese firm. To carry out thisChap ter 32. 4.instruction, the U.S. bank instructs its correspondent bank in Japan to take1 milli on yen from its acco unt at the corres pondent bank and tran sfer the yen to the bank account of the Japan ese firm. (The U.S. bank could also use yen at its own branch if it has a branchin Japan.)The trader would seek out the best quoted spot rate for buying euros with dollars, either throughdirect con tact with traders at other banks or by using the services of a foreign exchange broker.The trader would use the best rate to buy euro spot. Sometime in the n ext hour or so (or, typically at least by the end of the day), the trader will en ter the in terba nk market aga in, toobtain the best quoted spot rate for selling euros for dollars. The trader will use the best spot rate to sell her p reviously acquired euros. If the spot value of the eurohas rise n duri ng this short time, the trader makes a p rofit.The cross rate betwee n the yen and the krone is too high (the yen value of the krone is toohigh) relative to the dollar-foreig n curre ncy excha nge rates. Thus, in a p rofitable tria ngulararbitrage, you want to sell kroner at the high cross rate. The arbitrage will be: Use dollars to buykroner at $0.20/kr one, use these kroner to buy yen at 25 yen/krone, and use the yen to buy dollarsat $0.01/ye n. For each dollar that you sell in itially, you can obta in 5 kroner, these 5 kronercan obta in 125 yen, and the 125 yen can obta in $1.25.

Do these rates result in a coveredinterestdifferential that is very closeto zero?Relative to your exp ected spot value of the euro in 90 days ($1.22/euro), the current forward rate ofthe euro ($1.18/euro) is low — the forward value of the euro is relatively low. Using the principle of "buy low, sell high," you can sp eculate by en teri ng into a forward con tract now to buy euros at$1.18/euro.

If many people sp eculate in pu rchases now of euros forward(in creas ing the dema ndfor euros forward) will tend to drive up the forward value of the euro, toward a curre nt forwardrate of $1.22/euro.The Swiss franc is at a forward prem ium. Its curre nt forward value($0.505/SFr) is greater than its current sp ot value ($0.500/SFr).The covered in terest differe ntial "i n favor of Switzerla nd" is ((1 + 0.005) (0.505) / 0.500) - (1 + 0.01) = 0.005. (Note that the interest rate used must match the time p eriod of the in vestment.) There is a covered interest differential of 0.5% for 30 days (6 percent at an annual rate). TheU.S. investor can make a higher return, covered against exchange rate risk, by inv esti ng in SFr-de nomin ated bon ds, so p resumably the inv estor should makethis covered investment. Although the interest rate on SFr-denominated bonds is lower tha n the in terest rate on dollar-de nomin ated bon ds, the forward p remium on the franc is larger tha n this differe nee, so that the covered inv estme nt is a good idea.The lack of demandfor dollar-denominated bonds (or the supply of thesebonds as in vestors sell them in order to shift into SFr-de nomin ated bon ds) puts dow nward p ressure on the p rices of U.S. bon ds —up ward p ressure on U.S. in terest rates. The extra dema nd for the franc in the spot excha nge market (as in vestors buy SFr in order to buy SFr-de nomin ated bon ds)puts up ward p ressure on the spot excha nge rate. The extra dema nd for SFr-de nomin ated bonds puts up ward p ressure on the p rices of Swiss bonds — dow nward p ressureon Swiss in terest rates. The extra supply of francs in the forward market (as U.S. i nv estors cover their SFr in vestme nts back into dollars) p uts downwardpressure on the forward exchange rate. If the only rate that changes is the forward exchange rate, this rate must fall to about $0.5025/SFr. Withthis forward rate and the other in itial rates, the covered in terest differe ntial is close to zero. In test ing covered in terest p arity, all of the in terest rates and excha nge rates that are n eeded to calculate the covered in terest differe ntial are rates that can observed in the bond and foreignexchange markets. Determining whether the covered in terest differe ntial is about zero (covered interest parity) is then straightforward (although somemore subtle issues regardingtim ing of tran sact ions may also n eed to be addressed). I n order to test uncovered interestparity, we need to know not only three rates — two interest rates and the current spot exchangerate — that can be observed in the market, but also one rate— the exp ected future spot exchange rate — that is notobserved in any market. The tester the n n eeds a way to find out aboutinv estors' exp ectati ons. One way is to ask them, using a survey, but they may not say exactlywhat they really think. Ano ther way is to exam ine the actual un covered in terest differe ntialafter we know what the future spot excha nge rate actually turns out to be, and see whether thestatistical characteristics of the actual uncovered differential are consistentwith an expected uncovered differential of about zero (uncovered interest parity). 8. a.b.c.10.Cha pter 52. a. The euro is expected to appreciate at an annual rate of approximately ((1.005 -1.000)/1.000) (360/180)100 = 1%. The exp ected un covered in terestdifferential is approximately 3%+ 1%- 4%= 0, so uncovered interest parityholds (app roximately).b. If the in terest rate on 180-day dollar-de nomin ated bonds decli nes to3%, the n the spot excha nge rate is likely to in crease —the euro willappreciate, the dollar depreciate. At the initial current spot exchange rate,the initial expected future spot exchange rate, and the initial euro interestrate, the exp ected un covered in terest differe ntial shifts in favor of investing in euro-denominated bonds (the expected uncovered differential is now p ositive, 3% + 1% - 3% = 1%, favori ng un covered inv estme nt in euro-de nomin ated bon ds.The in creased dema ndfor euros in the spot excha nge market tends to app reciate the euro. If the euro in terest rate and the exp ected future spot excha nge rate rema in un cha nged, the n thecurre nt spot rate must cha nge immediately to be $1.005/euro, to reestablish un covered interest parity. Whenthe current spot rate jumps to this value, the euro'sexcha nge rate value is not exp ected to cha nge in value subseque ntly duri ng the next 180 days.The dollar has depreciated immediately, and the uncovered differe ntial then again is zero (3% + 0% - 3% = 0).4. a. For uncovered interest parity to hold, investors must expect that the rateof change in the spot exchange-rate value of the yen equals the interest rate differential, which is zero. Investors must expect that the future spot valueis the same as the curre nt spot value, $0.01/ye n.b. If inv estors exp ect that the excha nge rate will be $0.0095/ye n, the nthey expect the yen to depreciate from its initial spot value during the next 90 days. Give n theother rates, i nv estors tend to shift their inv estme nts toward dollar-de nomin ated inv estments. The extra supply of yen (and dema ndfor dollars) in the spot exchange market results in a decrease in the current spot value of the yen(the dollar appreciates). The shift to expecting that the yen will depreciate (the dollarappreciate) sometime during the next 90 days tends to cause the yen to dep reciate (the dollar toapp reciate) immediately in the curre nt spot market.The law of one p rice will hold better for gold. Gold can be traded easilyso that any price differences would lead to arbitrage that would tend to push gold p rices (stated in a com mon curre ncy by converting p rices using market excha nge rates) back close to equality. Big Macs cannot be arbitraged. If p rice differe nces exist, there is no arbitrage p ressure, so the p ricedifferences can persist. The prices of Big Macs(stated in a commoncurrency) vary widely around the world.According to PPP, the exchange rate value of the DM(relative to the dollar) has rise n since the early 1970s because Germa ny has exp erie need less inflation than has the United States ——the productprice level has risen lessin Germa ny since the early 1970s tha n it has rise n in the Un ited States.According to the monetary approach, the Germanprice level has not risen as muchbecause the Germa nmon eys upply has in creased less tha n the has in creased in the Un ited States,relative to the growth rates of real domestic production case —more in flati ongrowth in Brita in.rate ofthe domestic moneysupply (M s ) is two percentage points higher tha n it was previously, the mon etary app roach in dicates that the excha nge rate value (e) of the foreig n curre ncy will be higher tha n it otherwise would be — that is, the excha nge rate value of the coun try's curre ncy will be lower. Sp ecifically, the foreig n curre ncy will app reciate by two percentagepoints more per year, or depreciate by two percentage less. That is, the domestic currency will depreciate by two percentage more per year, or app reciate by two p erce ntage points less.b. The faster growth of the coun try's money supply eve ntually leads to afaster rate of inflation of the domestic price level (P). Specifically, inflation rate will be two percentage points higher than it otherwise be. Accord ing torelative PPP, a faster rate of in crease in the domestic level (P) leads to a higher rate of app reciatio n of the foreig n curre ncy.12. a. For the Un ited States in 1975, 20,000 = k 6.8. mon eys upply the opposite higher money in the two countries. The British pound is in Britain than in the United States, and 10. a. Because the growth pointspointsthewould price■100 800, or k = 0.25.For P ugelovia in 1975, 10,000 = k b. For the Un ited States, the qua ntity theory of money with a con sta nt kmeansthat the quantity equation with k = 0.25 should hold in 2002: 65,000=0.25 2601,000. It does. Because the quantity equation holds for both years with the samek, thechange in the price level from 1975 to 2002 is consistent with the quantity theory of moneywith aconstant k. Similarly, for Pugelovia, the quantity equation with k = 0.5 should hold for 2002, and it does (58,500 =0.5 390 300).14. a. The tighte ning typ ically leads to an immediate in crease in the coun try'sin terest rates. In additi on, the tighte ning p robably also results ininvestors' expecting that the exchange-rate value of the country's currencyis likely to be higher in the future. The higher expected exchange-rate value for the currency isbased on the expectation that the country's price level will be lower in the future, and PPP indicates that the curre ncy will the n be stro nger. For both of these reas ons, intern ati onal investors will shift toward inv est ing in this coun try's bon ds. The in crease in dema nd for the coun try's curre ncy in the spot excha nge market causes the curre ntexcha nge-rate value of the curre ncy to in crease. The curre ncy maya pp reciate a lot because thecurrent exchange rate must "overshoot" its expected future spot value. Un covered in terest p arityis reestablished with a higher in terest rate and a subseque nt exp ected dep reciati on of the curre ncy.b. If everyth ing else is rather steady, the excha nge rate (the domesticcurrency price of foreign currency) is likely to decrease quickly by a large amount. After this jump, the excha nge rate maythe n in crease gradually toward its long-run value — the value con siste ntwith PPP in the long run.Weoften use the term pegged exchange rate to refer to a fixed exchange rate, because fixed ratesgen erally are not fixed forever. An adjustable peg isan exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency can be cha nged fromtime to time, but usually it is cha nged rather seldom(for in sta nee, not more tha n once every several years). A crawli ng peg isan exchange rate policy in which the "fixed" exchange rate value of a currency is cha nged ofte n(for in sta nee, weekly or mon thly), sometimes accordi ng to in dicators such as the differe nee inin flati on rates.Disagree. If a country is expected to impose exchange controls,which usually make it more difficult to move funds out of the country in the future,investors are likely to try to shift funds out of the country now before the100 200, or k = 0.5.Chap ter 62. 4.con trols are imp osed. The in crease in supply of domestic curre ncy into the foreig n excha ngemarket (or in crease in dema nd for foreig n curre ncy) p utsdownward pressure on the exchange rate value of the country's currency —the curre ncy tends to dep reciate.6. a. The market is atte mpting to dep reciate the pn ut (app reciate the dollar) toward a value of 3.5 pnutsper dollar, which is outside of the top of the allowable band (3.06 pnuts per dollar). In order todefend the pegged exchange rate, the Pu gelovia n mon etary authorities could use official in terve ntio nto buy pnuts (in exchange for dollars). Buying pnuts prevents the pnut ' s value from declining (selling dollars prevents the dollar ' s value fromrisin g). The in terve nti on satisfies the excess p rivate dema nd for dollarsat the curre nt p egged excha nge rate.b. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian governmentcould impose excha nge con trols in which some p rivate in dividuals who want to sell pnuts and buy dollars are told that they cannot legally do this (or cannot do this without gover nment p ermission, and not all requests are approved by the government). By artificially restricting the supply of pnuts (and the dema nd for dollars), the Pu gelovia n gover nment can force the remai ning p rivate supply and dema nd to "clear" within the allowable band.The exchange controls attempt to stifle the excess private demandfor dollars at the curre nt p egged excha nge rate.c. In order to defend the pegged exchange rate, the Pugelovian governmentcould in crease domestic in terest rates (p erha ps by a lot). The higher domestic interest ratesshift the incentives for international capital flows toward inv estme nts in Pu gelovia n bon ds. The in creased flow of intern ati onal finan cial cap ital into Pu gelovia in creases the dema nd forpnuts on the foreig n excha nge market. (Also, the decreased flow of intern ati onal financialcapital out of Pugelovia reduces the supply of pnuts on the foreignexcha nge market.) By in creas ing the dema nd for pnuts (and decreas ing the suppl y), the Pugelovia n gover nment can in duce the p rivate market to clear within the allowable band. The increased domestic in terest rates attem pt toshift the private supply and demandcurves so that there is no excess private dema nd for dollars at the curre nt p egged excha nge rate value.8. a. The gold sta ndard was a fixed rate system. The gover nment of each countryp artici pati ng in the system agreed to buy or sell gold in excha nge for itsown currency at a fixed price of gold (in terms of its own currency). Becauseeach currency was fixed to gold, the exchange rates between currencies also ten ded to be fixed, because in dividuals could arbitrage betwee n gold and curre ncies if the curre ncy excha nge rates deviated from those imp lied by the fixed gold p rices.Britai n was central to the system, because the British economy was the leader in in dustrializatio n and world trade, and because Brita in was con sidered finan cially secure and p rude nt. Brita in was able and willi ng to run p ayme nts deficits that p ermitted many other coun tries to run p ayme ntssurpi uses. The other coun tries used their surpi uses to build up their holdi ngs of gold reserves (and of intern ati onal reserves in the form of sterling-denominated assets). These other countries were satisfied with therate of growth of their holdings of liquid reserve assets, and most countries were able to avoid the crisis of running low on intern ati onal reserves.Duri ng the height of the gold stan dard, from about 1870 to 1914, theeconomic shocks to the system were mild. A major shock —World War I — caused many coun tries to sus pend the gold sta ndard.Sp eculati on was gen erally stabiliz ing, both for the excha nge rates between the currencies of countries that were adhering to the gold standard, and for the excha nge rates of coun tries that temp orarily allowed their curre ncies to float.10. a. The Brett on Woods system was an adjustable p egged excha nge rate system.Coun tries committed to set and defe nd fixed excha nge rates, financing temporary p ayme nts imbala nces out of their official reserve holdi ngs. If a "fun dame ntal disequilibrium "in a coun try's intern ati onal p ayme ntsdeveloped, the country could change the value of its fixed exchange rate to a new value.b. The Un ited States was cen tral to the system. As the Brett on Woodssystemevolved, it became esse ntially a gold-excha nge sta ndard. The mon etaryauthorities of other countries committed to peg the exchange rate values of their curre ncies to the U.S. dollar.

Suggested answers to questions and problems(in the textbook)Chapter 22. Disagree, at least as a general statement。

One meaning of a current accountsurplus is that the country is exporting more goods and services than it isimporting. One might easily judge that this is not good-the country is producing goods and services that are exported, but the country is not at the same timegetting the imports of goods and services that would allow it do moreconsumption and domestic investment. In this way a current account deficitmight be considered good—the extra imports allow the country to consume and invest domestically more than the value of its current production。

Anothermeaning of a current account surplus is that the country is engaging in foreign financial investment—it is building up its claims on foreigners, and this adds to national wealth。

第1章外汇与汇率知识掌握二、单项选择题1.C2. D3.B4.B5.C三、多项选择题1.ABCD2. ABD3. BCDE4. ADE知识应用一、案例分析题1.2015年“8.11”汇改后人民币贬值速度较快,一时间引起阵阵恐慌,加之内地缺少有效投资工具,导致大量中产阶级欲将资金转移至境外以寻求保护。

由于香港与内地特殊的政治经济关系而使其成为避险资金的首选,这属于正常现象。

但如果对此不加以约束,易造成资金外流的恶果。

2.人民币贬值对经济生活的影响可以从不同方面来解读:从进出口的角度看,人民币贬值有利于扩大出口,增强产品的国际竞争力;从资本流动的角度看,人民币的贬值会给投资者带来不安全感,对人民币的信心缺失,抛售人民币资产或将资产转移至境外,造成资本外流,而资本外流会进一步加大人民币贬值压力,从而形成恶性循环。

资本流动情况将直接影响国际储备情况,我国这两年外汇储备变动状况清楚地说明了这一点。

此外,人民币对外贬值对我国走出去战略也会产生一定影响,对于海外求学的人来说更不是利好。

2.在布雷顿森森体系下实行的是以美元为中心的固定汇率制度。

以美元为中心的国际货币制度崩溃的根本原因,是这个制度本身存在着不可调和的矛盾。

一方面,美元作为国际支付手段与国际储备手段,要求美元币值稳定,才会在国际支付中被其他国家所普遍接受。

而美元币值稳定,不仅要求美国有足够的黄金储备,而且要求美国的国际收支必须保持顺差,从而使黄金不断流入美国而增加其黄金储备。

否则,人们在国际支付中就不愿接受美元。

另一方面,全世界要获得充足的外汇储备,又要求美国的国际收支保持逆差,否则全世界就会面临外汇储备短缺。

第四章课后习题答案一、判断题1. X。

补贴政策、关税政策和汇率政策都属于支出转换型政策。

2. X。

外部均衡是内部均衡基础上的外部平衡,具体而言,反映为内部均衡实现条件下的国际收支平衡,它不能脱离内部均衡的条件。

3. X。

丁伯根原则的含义是,要实现N个独立的政策目标,至少需要相互独立的N个有效的政策工具。

将货币政策和财政政策分别应用于影响力相对较大的目标,以求得内外平衡是蒙代尔提出的政策指派原则的要求。

4. X .“蒙代尔分配法则”认为,财政政策解决内部均衡问题更为有效,货币政策解决外部平衡问题更为有效。

6. X。

应使用紧缩的财政政策来压缩国内需求,紧缩的货币政策来改善国际收支。

7.√。

二、不定项选择题1. B2. D3. BC4. BD5. A6. BD7. CDE(说明:一般而言,汇率变动会通过影响自发性贸易余额而引起BP曲线移动,但是,在资本完全流动的情况下,国际收支完全由资本流动决定,贸易收支的变动能够被资本流动无限抵销,此时的BP曲线反映为一条水平线,仅仅与国际利率水平有关)8. ABD 9. CD三、简答题1.按照斯旺模型,当国际收支顺差和国内经济过热时,应当采取怎样的政策搭配?答:斯旺模型用支出转换与支出增减政策搭配来解决内外均衡的冲突问题。

政府的支出增减型政策(譬如财政政策)可以直接改变国内支出总水平,主要用来解决内部均衡问题。

政府的支出转换型政策(譬如实际汇率水平的调节)可以改变对本国产品和进口产品的相对需求,主要用来解决外部平衡问题。

当出现国际收支顺差和国内经济过热时,应当一方面缩减国内支出,一方面促进本币升值,从而使进口增加,并使国内支出中由国内供给满足的部分进一步减少,从而降低国际收支顺差和国内收人水平。

2.在斯旺的内外均衡分析框架中,当内外均衡时,国内的产出水平、就业水平是唯一的吗?答:在斯旺模型中,内部均衡意味着本国生产的产品被全部销售掉,并且国内支出得到满足。

当国内产出一定时,如果国内支出扩大,为了满足国内支出,就需要本币升值以减少出口或增加进口。
