Market for Loanable Funds
• In an open economy
– S = I + NCO
– Saving = Domestic investment + Net
capital outflow
• Supply of loanable funds
– From national saving (S)
• Demand for loanable funds
– From domestic investment (I)
– And net capital outflow (NCO)

Market for Loanable Funds
• When NCO > 0
– Net outflow of capital
– Net purchase of capital overseas
• Adds to the demand for domestically generated
loanable funds
• When NCO < 0
– Net inflow of capital
– Capital resources coming from abroad
• Reduce the demand for domestically generated
loanable funds

Market for Loanable Funds
• Loanable funds - interpreted as
– Domestically generated flow of resources
available for capital accumulation
• Purchase of a capital asset
– Adds to the demand for loanable funds
– Asset – located at home: I
– Asset – located abroad: NCO

Market for Loanable Funds
• Higher real interest rate
– Encourages people to save
• Increases quantity of loanable funds supplied
– Discourages investment
• Decreases quantity of loanable funds
demanded

Market for Loanable Funds
• Higher real interest rate
– Discourages Americans from buying
foreign assets
• Reduces U.S. net capital outflow
– Encourages foreigners to buy U.S. assets

Market for Loanable Funds
• Supply of loanable funds
– Slopes upward
• Demand of loanable funds
– Slopes downward
• At equilibrium interest rate
– Amount that people want to save
– Exactly balances the desired quantities of
domestic investment and net capital
outflow

The interest rate in an open economy, as in a closed economy, is determined by the
supply and demand for loanable funds. National saving is the source of the supply of
loanable funds. Domestic investment and net capital outflow are the sources of the
demand for loanable funds. At the equilibrium interest rate, the amount that people
want to save exactly balances the amount that people want to borrow for the purpose
of buying domestic capital and foreign assets.

Foreign-Currency Exchange
• The market for foreign-currency exchange
– Identity: NCO = NX
– Net capital outflow = Net exports
• If trade surplus, NX > 0
– Exports > Imports
– Net sale of goods ad services abroad
– Americans use the foreign currency to buy
foreign assets
• Capital is flowing abroad, NCO > 0

Foreign-Currency Exchange
• If trade deficit, NX < 0
– Imports > Exports
– Some of this spending - financed by
selling American assets abroad
• Foreign capital is flowing into U.S.
• NCO < 0

Foreign-Currency Exchange
• Supply of foreign-currency exchange
– Net capital outflow
• Quantity of dollars supplied to buy foreign
assets
– Supply curve – vertical
• Quantity of dollars supplied for net capital
outflow

Foreign-Currency Exchange
• Demand for foreign-currency exchange
– Net exports
• Quantity of dollars demanded to buy U.S. net
exports of goods and services
– Demand curve - downward sloping
– A higher real exchange rate
• Makes U.S. goods more expensive
• Reduces the quantity of dollars demanded to
buy those goods

Foreign-Currency Exchange
• Equilibrium real exchange rate
– Demand for dollars
• By foreigners
• Arising from U.S. net exports of goods &
services
– Exactly balances supply of dollars
• From Americans
• Arising from U.S. net capital outflow

quantity
Quantity of Dollars Exchanged
into Foreign Currency
The real exchange rate is determined by the supply and demand for foreign-currency exchange.
The supply of dollars to be exchanged into foreign currency comes from net capital outflow.
Because net capital outflow does not depend on the real exchange rate, the supply curve is
vertical. The demand for dollars comes from net exports. Because a lower real exchange rate
stimulates net exports (and thus increases the quantity of dollars demanded to pay for these net
exports), the demand curve is downward sloping. At the equilibrium real exchange rate, the
number of dollars people supply to buy foreign assets exactly balances the number of dollars
people demand to buy net exports.

How Net Capital Outflow Depends on the Interest Rate

Rate

is negative
is positive
Because a higher domestic real interest rate makes domestic assets more attractive, it
reduces net capital outflow. Note the position of zero on the horizontal axis: Net capital
outflow can be positive or negative. A negative value of net capital outflow means that
the economy is experiencing a net inflow of capital.

When the government runs a budget deficit, it
reduces the supply of loanable funds from S1 to S2
in panel (a). The interest rate rises from r1 to r2 to
balance the supply and demand for loanable funds.
In panel (b), the higher interest rate reduces net
capital outflow. Reduced net capital outflow, in turn,
reduces the supply of dollars in the market for
foreign-currency exchange from S1 to S2 in panel
(c). This fall in the supply of dollars causes the real
exchange rate to appreciate from E1 to E2. The
appreciation of the exchange rate pushes the trade
