Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.

3 · Analysis · Hard · Exchange Rate Regimes and Aggregate Demand
Assume that an economy operates under a fixed exchange rate regime and is initially at its natural level of output (Y = Y_{n}). If fiscal policymakers implement a fiscal contraction by reducing government spending, what will happen to the real exchange rate in the medium run?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. B is correct.
In the medium run, output must return to the natural level Y_{n}. Because government spending is lower, aggregate demand can only equal Y_{n} if net exports increase, which requires a lower domestic price level and therefore a permanently lower real exchange rate (a real depreciation).
