Impact of a Fixed Exchange Rate Policy on Competitiveness
A domestic economy has a persistent annual inflation rate of 7%, while its major trading partners experience an average inflation rate of 2%. The government of the domestic economy decides to maintain a fixed nominal exchange rate against the currencies of its trading partners. Analyze the consequences of this policy on the domestic economy's international price competitiveness over time. In your analysis, explain how the prices of domestic goods relative to foreign goods will change and what the likely impact will be on the country's trade balance.

Maintaining Trade Competitiveness
A country's economy has an annual inflation rate of 9%. Its primary trading partner has an inflation rate of 4%.

A domestic economy experiences an annual inflation rate of 6%, while its primary trading partner has an inflation rate of 2%. If the domestic country's central bank successfully maintains a fixed nominal exchange rate with its partner, what is the most likely effect on the domestic country's goods in the international market?
True or False: If a country's inflation rate is consistently lower than that of its main trading partners, its currency must undergo nominal appreciation to maintain a constant real exchange rate and long-term trade competitiveness.
Evaluating a Central Bank's Exchange Rate Policy
A country's central bank allows its currency's nominal exchange rate to depreciate by 4% annually. If the domestic inflation rate is 7% per year, the foreign inflation rate must be ____% for the country's international price competitiveness to remain unchanged.

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?
