Balance of Payments l In calculating the
balance of payments between countries, there are three main accounts to consider: current, capital, and official reserve accounts.
l Economists also calculate the margin of statistical discrepancy.
l Current Account n Imports: Goods/Services n Exports: Goods/Services n Investment Dividends n Government Goods/Services
l Capital Account n International Investment
l Official Reserves n Foreign Currency n Gold

Dow Jones Industrial Average, 1800-2003
William Jennings Brian: “Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the labouring interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their [i.e. the bankers’] demand for a gold standard by saying to them: ‘You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.'” (WJB, age 36)
Loud roar, no power: Bryan (1860-1925) ran for the presidency in 1896 and lost to William McKinley.

The Gold Standard • Britain’s hegemony
in international markets bolstered and was bolstered by the adoption of gold as the primary basis of currency instruments around the world.

Exchange Rates: The Price of Currency
• The price of one currency relative to another is known as the currency exchange rate
• The number of units of a currency required to buy another currency uses a simple formula: o Y-to-X exchange rate = o 1 / X-to-Y exchange rate
The more abundant the supply of pesos, the fewer dollars it takes to buy them. Conversely, the fewer dollars available, the more pesos required to buy a dollar.
![Page 26: Brief Review - pols380ipe.files.wordpress.com€¦ · 05.09.2014 · Dow Jones Industrial Average, 1800-2003 William Jennings Brian: “Having behind us the producing masses of this](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052806/606120d027856c1c4a5febd8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Exchange Rate: Market Price
$1.00 = 10 pesos $0.50 = 5 pesos $0.25 = 2.5 pesos $0.10 = 1 peso
10 pesos = $1.00 5 pesos = $0.50 2.5 pesos = $0.25 1 peso = $0.10

How It Works: La Casa de Cambio
Exchanging Dollars 9.75 pesos 10.25 pesos BUY SELL
Exchanging Pesos .0975 dollars .1025 dollar
Converting dollars to pesos: I will sell you one peso for .1025 dollars, for a $0.0025 profit. Or every dollar you give me, I will give you 9.75 pesos (keeping .25 pesos as profit). Converting pesos to dollars: I will sell you one dollar, if you give me 10.25 pesos (making a 2.5% profit). Or I will buy a peso from you for .0975 dollars (making a 2.5% profit).

Currency Exchange Markets • The supply or demand for a
given currency is what primarily determines its value
• Several factors affect supply and demand: government policy, trade, and currency markets.
![Page 29: Brief Review - pols380ipe.files.wordpress.com€¦ · 05.09.2014 · Dow Jones Industrial Average, 1800-2003 William Jennings Brian: “Having behind us the producing masses of this](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052806/606120d027856c1c4a5febd8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Exchange Rate: Floating or Managed? • Floating Exchange Rate:
Currency value is determined by market demand without any government intervention.
• Managed Exchange Rates: Government or central bank attempts to influence a currency’s value by: 1) “targeting” a specified range, 2) “pegging” its value to another currency, or 3) setting an official “fixed” rate of exchange.
Theoretically, currency values �float� freely in the market. However, most governments try to manage their currency�s value in some way. When a country�s currency value is fixed, the government exchange rate may not reflect actual demand for the currency, contributing to a �black market� in which buyers and sellers trade the currency at market rates.

The Gold Standard Using gold as currency or as the basis of a “fixed” currency offers the advantage of stability, but creates the problem of inflexibility and zero-sum competition.

The Case of Great Britain
• Compared to other European states, the United Kingdom had unique advantages that enabled it to develop a strong national economy and rapidly expand its colonial holdings.

The Industrial Revolution
• The 18th and 19th centuries brought technological innovations in energy (coal to steam), production (machinery), transportation (railroads), and communications.
The invention (or perfection) of the steam engine by Thomas Newcomen (1712) made it possible to harness the power of combustion to increase productivity and speed up the transportation of goods in the economy.

• Geography: British isles �uneven� geography amenable to textiles.
• Unified national identity: Merging of England & Scotland in 1707.
• Maritime imperitive: Need to develop specialized industries.
• Population growth: Pressure for free trade in agriculture.
• Head start: Early advances enabled vast colonial holdings.

Colonial Expansion • In the age of
mercantilism, national competition was fueled by colonial expansion to gain resources and power by expanding territorial control and influence into the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the South Pacific.
