Increase in growth rate of U.S. money supply: Inflation rate, dollar interest rate, Pus, E, rises in proportion to Pus.
Increase in world relative demand for U.S. products: E falls, and q does as well.
Increase in relative U.S. output supply: Dollar depreciates, lowers relative price of
U.S. output, rise in q, effect on E is not clear since q and Pus work in opposite directions.
