Which of the following explains why an increase in the domestic price level (for given exchange rate) educes net exports in an economy where there is foreign trade? As the price level increases, due to the increase in the ratio of domestic prices to foreign prices, exports decrease, and as a result net exports decreases. As the price level increases, due to the resulting increase in exchange rates, exports decrease and as a result net exports decreases. As the price level increases, the purchasing power of people increases and they feel wealthier. Therefore, this economy imports more from abroad. The increase in the price level, must be because of excess demand for goods and services. So, the government has to import more goods and services to remove the upward pressure on prices..
