The long-run purchasing power parity theory suggests that
currency rates will track the real exchange rate over time. Suggest
a strategy where you could use this to predict the movement of
currencies:
explain the difference between the real exchange rate
and the purchasing power parity(PPP) exchange rate, and discuss a
situation in which you would use each of these different exchange
rates.
Purchasing power parity is a neoclassical economic theory that
states that the exchange rate between two countries is equal to the
ratio of the currencies' respective purchasing power.
The OECD defines GNP as "an aggregate measure of production
equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident and
institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and
minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their
outputs).”
The gross national income (GNI) is the...
The most widely
accepted theory of foreign exchange rate determination is
purchasing power parity, yet it has proven to be quite poor at
fore- casting future spot exchange rates. Why? Please try to meet
450 words, thank you so much!
True or False:
1) Purchasing-power parity says that the nominal exchange rate
must equal the real exchange rate.
2) If prices in Mexico rise at a higher rate than prices in the
U.S., then according to purchasing-power parity the U.S. nominal
exchange rate with Mexico should rise.
3) If the U.S. real exchange rate with Japan is greater than 1,
then U.S. goods are relatively cheap.
Exchange rates are affected by the law of one price and
purchasing power parity (PPP) in the long-run. Exchange rates are
affected by the interest-rate parity condition in the short-run
(Interest rate on domestic bond = Interest rate on foreign bond
minus Expected appreciation of the domestic currency). What do
these mean?
