b. What factors determine the relative attractiveness of dollar-, euro-, and yen-denominated assets to oil producers flush with petrodollars? What might lead them to direct more funds towards non-dollar-denominated assets?
c. What will happen to the value of the U.S. dollar if OPEC members decide to invest more of their petrodollars towards non dollar assets, such as euro-denominated stocks and bonds?
d. In addition to oil producers, China is also accumulating a large stock of dollars, currently estimated to total $1.4 trillion. What would happen to the value of the dollar if China and oil-producing nations all shifted out of dollar-denominated assets at the same time? What would be the consequence for the United States economy?
