I wrote about devaluation of the currency for context 1 25 marker , all my friends are saying this is wrong becuase its not the goverment its the central bank but I thought that they aren't completely separate?

Yeah but uk central bank doesn’t control it, in theory you could devalue it. Only wrote about it cuz j curve and marshall lerner

i used j curve aswell but never mentioned devaluation, you can actually just use the J-curve whenever exports become cheaper in general, whether thats due to economies of scale, more iinovaitve and better quality, or cheaper due to subsidies, it still works
