Country X has currency C1 and Country Y has currency C2. The nominal exchange rate C2/C1 and GDP deflator P for Country X and P* for Country Y for various years is as follows: Year: 2010; nominal exchange rate: 0.58; P=1.88; P* =3.8. Year 2011; nominal exchange rate: 0.79; P=2.06; P*=3.88. Year: 2012; nominal exchange rate:0.95; P=2.16; P*=3.95. Year 2013; nominal exchange rate 1.13; P=2.22; P*=4.3. Assuming C1 is the domestic currency and the previous year is the base year, find the year in which the real exchange rate appreciation is greatest and calculate the percentage increase.

a)The Year=( )and percentage increase=?

b) Assuming C1 is the domestic currency, an increase in E will cause price of C2 in term of C1 to (?)

c) If the value of e decrease, given that E is increasing, then Country Y would be experiencing a (?) rate of inflation compared to Country X

d) if foreign goods are relatively less expensive compared to the domestic goods and assuming that the nominal exchange rate of the currencies is equity, then there is (?) in the real exchange rate.

Suppose the marginal damage and marginal benefit curves in a polluted neighborhood are md = p/3 and mb = 4 – p. also, suppose that transactions costs are low, so that the consumers and the firm can bargain. we saw that in this case, the socially-optimal level of pollution is achieved. start by computing the socially-optimal p. then, for each of the following cases, compute the amount of money transferred through the bargaining process, and indicate who pays whom (i.e., whether consumers pay the firm, or vice versa). also, compute the gains to each party relative to the status quo (i.e., the starting point of the bargaining process).a)consumers have the right to clean air; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.b)consumers have the right to clean air; consumers are dominant in the bargaining process.c)firm has the right to pollute; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.d)firm has the right to pollute; consumers are dominant in the bargaining proces
