  • Net Exports (Trade Balance) in GDP

Net Export Function in the Multiplier Model

In the multiplier model, the net export function specifies net exports (NX) as the difference between exogenous exports (X) and imports that are dependent on income (Y). This relationship is expressed by the formula: NX=X−mYNX = X - mY, where 'm' represents the marginal propensity to import.

Which of the following statements best explains this specific economic situation?

  • In a given year, the total spending by a country's households, businesses, and government amounts to $1,200 billion. Of this amount, $200 billion is spent on goods and services produced abroad. During the same year, the country sells $150 billion worth of its own goods and services to foreign buyers. Based on this information, the total value of all goods and services produced within the country's borders is $____ billion.

  • 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?
