Suppose there are two groups, Group W and Group P:
Group W: people in group W like to take financial risks, and therefore have a high tolerance for holding foreign assets
Group P: people in group P do not like to take financial risks, and therefore do not hold any foreign assets
Now suppose there is an increase in inequality: Wealth shifts away from Group P and toward Group W, so that a larger share of wealth is held by Group W.
What effect would this increase in inequality have on the real exchange rate? On gross exports? Defend your answers.
