Small Open Economy Model Overview - Example with a Drop in Consumer Confidence - Intermediate Macro

In this first video, we overview the model for the small open economy. What are the determinants for net exports (the trade balances, capital flows), the real exchange rate, and the nominal exchange rate? We talk about trade surpluses, trade deficits, and the market for loanable funds. We also do an example where consumer savings increases, analyzing the effect on net exports and exchange rates.
