Micheal Roemer's three-sector model shows that growth in the booming export sector I- reduces the price of foreign exchange II- retards other sectors' growth by reducing incentives to export other commodities III- reduces incentives to replace domestic goods for imports IV- raises factor and input prices for non-booming sectors ?

Correct answer: D. I, II , III only IV

  • A. I and III only
  • B. II and III only
  • C. I, II and III only
  • D. I, II , III only IV

Explanation

A booming export sector can appreciate the currency, weaken other export and import-substitution sectors, and bid up factor and input prices, producing Dutch-disease effects. Thus statements I, II, III, and IV are all included, despite the option's awkward wording.
