Indicate whether the following statements are true, false, or uncertain and explain why. 1. An economy that starts with a positive net international investment position will run a trade balance deficit at some point. 2. A country has been having trade balance deficits for 45 years. Four decades ago, the country was a net creditor, but after so many trade deficits it became a debtor. Clearly, this economy will have to run trade surpluses at some point. 3. A two-period economy runs trade surpluses in both periods. It follows that the current account in period 1 can have either sign (depending on the magnitude of TB1), but the current account in period 2 must be positive. 4. A country starts 2017 as a net creditor. The interest rate on its net asset position is 10 percent. That year, it runs a current account deficit. It follows that the trade balance in 2017 was also negative. 5. The fact that over the past quarter century the United States has run larger and larger current account deficits is proof that American household savings have been shrinking.
