The twin deficit hypothesis claims that there is a link between fiscal deficit and trade deficit. The story goes as follows. If the government borrowing pushes up the interest rate, the higher return will attract foreign funds. This pulls the currencies held by foreigners away from pur- chasing exports towards investing in financial assets, so the budget deficit is accompanied by a trade deficit. Do you agree or disagree with this hypothesis? How would your answer change if the economy were initially at a liquidity trap? Explain your answer in the context of the IS-LM model.
