66753005exchange rateThe price of one country's currency in terms of another country's currency; the ratio at which two currencies are traded for each other.0
66753006foreign exchangeAll currencies other than the domestic currency of a given country.1
66753007balance of paymentsThe record of a country's transactions in goods, services, and assets with the rest of the world; also the record of a country's sources (supply) and uses (demand) of foreign exchange.2
66753008balance of tradeA country's exports of goods and services minus its imports of goods and services.3
66753009trade deficitOccurs when a country's exports of goods and services are less than its imports of goods and services.4
66753010balance on current accountNet exports of goods plus net exports of services plus net investment income plus net transfer payments.5
66753011balance on capital accountIn the U.S., the sum of the following (measured in a given period): the change in private assets abroad, the change in foreign private assets in the U.S., the change in U.S. government assets abroad, and the change in foreign government assets in the U.S.6
66753012creditor nationA country that has a positive net worth position vis-à-vis the rest of the world.7
66753013debtor nationA country that has a negative net wealth position vis-à-vis the rest of the world.8
66753014Planned aggregate expenditure in an open economyAE≡C+I+G+EX-IM9
66753015net exports of goods and services (EX-IM)The difference between a country's total exports and total imports.10
66753016marginal propensity to import (MPM)The change in imports caused by a $1 change in income.11
66753017open-economy multiplier1/(1-(MPC-MPM)12
66753018trade feedback effectThe tendency for an increase in the economic activity of one country to lead to a worldwide increase in economic activity, which then feeds back to that country.13
66753019price feedback effectThe process by which a domestic price increase in one country can "feed back" on itself through export and import prices. An increase in the price level in one country can drive up prices in other countries. This in turn further increases the price level in the first country.14
66753020floating, or market-determined, exchange ratesExchange rates that are determined by the unregulated forces of supply and demand.15
66753021appreciation of a currencyThe rise in value of one currency relative to another.16
66753022depreciation of a currencyThe fall in value of one currency relative to another.17
66753023law of one priceIf the costs of transportation are small, the price of the same good should be roughly the same.18
66753024purchasing-power-parity theoryA theory of international exchange holding that exchange rates are set so that the price of similar goods in different countries is the same.19
66753025J-curve effectFollowing a currency depreciation, a country's balance of trade may get worse before it gets better. The graph showing this effect is shaped like the letter J, hence the name J-curve effect.20
66753026balance of tradedollar price of exports X quantity of exports - dollar price of imports X quantity of imports21
66753027A currency depreciation affects the items on the right side of the balance of trade equation because:(1) the quantity of exports increases and the quantity of imports decreases; both have a positive effect on the balance of trade (lowering the trade deficit or raising the trade surplus). (2) the dollar price of exports changes when the U.S. price level changes, but the initial effect of a depreciation on the domestic price level is not likely to be large. (3) the dollar price of imports increases. An increase in the dollar price of imports has a negative effect on the balance of trade.22
