Suppose that U.S. citizens start saving more. What does this imply about the supply of loanable funds and the equilibrium real interest rate? What happens to the real exchange rate?


The supply of loanable funds increases, and the equilibrium real interest rate falls. Because of the lower interest rate, U.S. net capital outflow rises. This increase makes the supply of dollars shift to the right, and the real exchange rate of the dollar depreciates.
