PART II – PROBLEM (40 points in total. 5 points each sub-question) 国际货币经济学代写

In this question assume all dollar units are real dollars in billions, so $300 means $300 billion. It is year 0. Argentina thinks it can find $300 of domestic investment projects with an MPK of 40% (each $1 invested pays off $0.40 in every later year). Argentina invests $192 in year 0 by borrowing from the rest of the world at a world real interest rate r* of 20%. There is no further borrowing or investment after this.

Use the standard assumptions: Assume initial external wealth W (W in year -1) is 0. Assume G=0 always; and assume I=0 except in year 0. Assume NUT= KA = 0 and that there is no net labor income so that NFIA = r*W.

The projects start to pay off in year 1 and continue to pay off all years thereafter. Interest is paid in perpetuity, in year 1 and every year thereafter. In addition, assume that if the projects are not done, then GDP=Q=C= $600 in all years, so that: PV(Q) = PV(C) = 600 + 600/0.20 = 3,600.

a) Should Argentina fund the $192 worth of projects?

b) From this point forward, assume the projects totaling $192 are funded and

completed in year 0. If the MPK is 40%, what is the total payoff from the

projects in future years?

c) Assume this is added to the $600 of GDP in all years starting in year 1. In dollars, what is Argentina’s Q = GDP in year 0, year 1, and later years?

d) At year 0, what is the new PV(Q) in dollars? Hint: To simplify, calculate the

value of the increment in PV(Q) due to the extra output in later years.

e) At year 0, what is the new PV(I) in dollars? Therefore, what does the LRBC say is the new PV(C) in dollars?

f) Assume that Argentina is smoothing consumption. What is the percent change in PV(C)? What is the new level of C in all years? Is Argentina better off?

g) For the year the investment projects go ahead, year 0, explain Argentina’s

balance of payments as follows: State the levels of CA, TB, NFIA, and FA.

i) What happens in later years? State the levels of CA, TB, NFIA, and FA in year 1 and every later year.
