Evaluating Economic Strategies to Address a Trade Deficit
A country's government is concerned about its persistent trade deficit. Two economic advisors propose different strategies. Advisor A suggests launching a global marketing campaign to boost foreign demand for the country's products. Advisor B suggests implementing policies that encourage consumers to substitute domestically produced goods for goods that are typically imported. Based on the net export function, NX = X - mY (where NX is net exports, X is autonomous exports, m is the marginal propensity to import, and Y is national income), evaluate the potential impact of each advisor's strategy on the components of the function. Which strategy would you recommend and why?

In an economy, the relationship between net exports (NX) and national income (Y) is given by the function NX = X - mY, where X represents autonomous exports and 'm' is the marginal propensity to import. If this economy's consumers develop a stronger preference for imported goods, how will this change be represented in the model, assuming autonomous exports and national income initially remain constant?

Calculating the Marginal Propensity to Import
A country's economy experiences a significant and sustained rise in its aggregate income. Assuming that the value of its exports and its marginal propensity to import remain constant, what is the most likely impact on the country's net exports?

A government policy that successfully stimulates a significant increase in a country's national income will, all else being equal, necessarily lead to an improvement in its net exports.
An open economy has autonomous exports valued at $200 billion. Its citizens tend to spend 15 cents of each additional dollar of income on imported goods. If the total national income for this economy is $1000 billion, what is the value of its net exports?
Consider two economies, Country A and Country B, with the following net export functions, where NX is net exports and Y is national income (both in billions of dollars):
Country A: NX = 500 - 0.1Y Country B: NX = 300 - 0.3Y
Based on this information, which of the following statements is the most accurate analysis of the relationship between national income and net exports in these two countries?

A mining company extracts iron ore and sells it to a steel mill for $200. The steel mill processes the ore into steel beams, which it then sells to a construction company for $500. The construction company uses the beams to build a new office, which it sells to a law firm for $1,200. Which of the following statements correctly analyzes the contribution of these transactions to the economy's total output?
