Suppose that governments around the world begin to engage in expansionary fiscal policy(run large budget deficits) in order to stimulate economic activity in their countries.

a.Use the basic version of the long-run model of a small open economy to illustrate graphically the impact of this expansionary fiscal policy by foreigners on the Canadian exchange rate and the Canadian trade balance. Assume that the country starts from a position of trade balance, i.e, exports equal imports. Be sure to label;

i. the axes

ii .the curves

iii. the initial equilibrium values

iv. the direction the curves shift

v. the new long-run equilibrium values

b.Based on your graphical analysis, explain the predicted impact of the foreign expansionary fiscal policy on the Canadian exchange rate and the Canadian trade balance.
