Assume that the economy is currently in short-run equilibrium, then the U.S. dollar appreciates in the foreign exchange market. Describe the correct sequence of events that happens as the economy adjusts to a new short-run equilibrium
As the dollar appreciates, foreign goods become less expensive, so Americans buy more imported goods. An appreciated dollar means that the foreign currency has depreciated, so American goods become more expensive for foreigners to purchase and U.S. exports decline. When imports rise and exports fall, net exports fall and aggregate demand (AD) decreases. This would push the AD curve leftward, resulting in a decrease in the price level and a decline in Real GDP.
