Given the interest parity condition, the demand for domestic bonds would decrease if domestic interest rates decreased.

The equation for purchasing power parity is – the domestic price should equal the exchange rate multiplied by the foreign price. Suppose your shirt sells for 10 euros in Europe. If purchasing power parity holds, what should be the price of that same shirt in the United States if it takes 1.145 dollars to get one euro?
Suppose 55 percent of Mexico’s trade is with the United States, 20 percent of trade is with Canada, and the remainder of trade is with Brazil. Suppose also that the Mexican peso appreciates 20 percent against the U.S. dollar, depreciates 30 percent against the Canadian dollar, and depreciates 10 percent against the Brazilian real. By how much will Mexico’s trade-weight exchange rate appreciate or depreciate? Show your work.

Economic logic may tell us that a country with a higher interest rate, thus a higher rate of return, should be able to attract foreign capital and that a country with a lower interest rate, thus a lower rate of return, should experience an outflow of capital. If a country is experiencing a large net capital inflow its currency is likely to appreciate, while a country experiencing a large net capital outflow would likely see its currency depreciate (assuming a floating exchange rate). However, according to interest rate parity conditions a country with a higher interest rate would see its currency depreciate, while the currency of the lower interest rate country would appreciate. What is the main reason the outcome under interest rate parity conditions? Question 4 options: The assumption that countries have an identical real interest rate The relative interest rate level is not a factor for investment decisions Investors do not seek…
