21、country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period. The usual reporting period for all the statistics included in the accounts is a year. A good or bad set of figures can have an influential effect on the exchange rate and can lead policy makers to change the content of their

22、economic policies. Deficits may lead to the government raising interest rate or reducing public expenditure to reduce expenditure on imports. Alternatively, deficits may lead to calls for protection against foreign imports or capital controls to defend the exchange rate.A key definition that needs t

23、o be resolved at the outset is that of a domestic and foreign resident.

24、rities. There are some problems that arise with respect to the definition of a resident. Multinational corporations are by definition resident in more than one country. For the purposes of balance - of - payments reporting the subsidiaries of a multinational are treated as being a resident in the co

25、untry in which they are located even if their shares are actually owned by domestic residents.

These institutions are treated as being foreign r

26、esidents even though they may actually be located in the reporting country. For example although the International Monetary Fund is located in Washington, contributions by the US government to the Fund are included in the US balance -of-payments statistics because they are regarded as transactions w

27、ith a foreign resident. Tourists are regarded as being foreign residents if they stay in the reporting country for less than a year.The criterion for a transaction to be included in the balance of payments is that it must involve a transaction between a resident of the reporting country and a reside

28、nt from the rest of the world. Purchases and sales between residents from the same country are excluded.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the balance of payments?A.
