If foreign wealth-holders decide that the United States is the safest place to invest their savings, what would the effect be on the economy here? Show graphically using the AD/AS model.
Jennifer S.
Through the summer and fall of $2008,$ as the global financial crisis began to take hold, international financial institutions and sovereign wealth funds significantly increased their purchases of U.S. Treasury securities as a safe haven investment. How should this affect U.S. dollar exchange rates?
We noted in this chapter that foreign central banks, especially in Asia, accumulated large dollar foreign reserves after $2000 .$ One persistent worry was that those central banks, fearing dollar depreciation, would shift their reserve holdings from dollars to euros. Show that this action would be equivalent to a huge sterilized sale of dollars in the foreign exchange market. What might be the effects? Be sure to spell out your assumption about perfect versus imperfect asset substitutability.
