People feel poorer, so they spend less. Thus, an increase in P causes a fall in C
which means a smaller quantity of g&s demanded.
The Exchange-Rate Effect (P and NX ) Suppose P rises. Interest rates go up (the interest-rate effect). U.S. bonds more attractive relative to foreign bonds. Foreign investors purchase more U.S. bonds,
but first must convert their currency into $ which appreciates the U.S. exchange rate.
