Income and substitution effect are the central reason to demand sloping downwards.
As the price rises this will take a lager percentage of consumer income therefore consumers will spend less or switch products causing a substitution effect and income effect.
Explain the effects of "hot" money flows and the effect it has on balance of payments

Primary product dependancy(due to over specialisation and comparative advantage)
Disruption of industries which produce high quality products as importing from china and Indian is relatively low.
Interdependence as countries are subjected to shocks from another, therefore recession is referred to as global recession as most countries suffered falling GDP

It suggests they are trying to either control inflation through the supply of money (monetary variable) to decrease growth (contractionary monetary policy)

The Income and substitution effect refers to the backward bending individual supply curve of labour.
The Substition effect assumes that as wage rates rise an individual is likely to be incentivised to substitute a marginal hour of leisure for work.
The income effect refers to when an individual has reached his optimal wage rate and doesn't require any further income (be it per hour/ per month/ per year). At this stage a person earning a higher wage rate will substitute a marginal hour of work for leisure.
This shows the trade of between leisure and work for an individual.
Correct me if I'm wrong

For those with debt or mortgage repayments, a change in interest rates affects how much they must input into the process, hence individuals will have more or less income after paying these off.

The interest rate transmission mechanism shows how changes in the interest rate can affect aggregate demand in various ways. For example, household demand is affected as changes in interest rates can affect savings, which indirectly affect spending, as well as consumer and business confidence

Tariffs or Import Duties: Basically just taxes on imported goods.
Regulations: Laws and any health and safety measures that need to be carried out when importing/exporting goods. Could end up complicating the process of trade, but are important to carry out in order to ensure overall safety.
Quotas: A limit on how much of a product can be imported into a country. EG: 50 Tons of Steel
Embargo: Completely banning imports form another country.
Voluntary Export Restraints: This is when countries actually agree to limit the number of imports. So its similar to quotas but its agreed.
Subsidies: If the government gives a local firm a subsidy so they can develop domestically, it will also give them a competitive advantage
If you can think of any more, feel free to add.
Question: Explain the Marshall-Lerner Condition.
Good luck to whoever is brave enough to explain that, cos I can seem to get my head around it!

So if PeD for Imports + PeD for Exports > 1, then a depreciation will improve the trade balance
