- Evaluate the usefulness of relative power purchasing parity (PPP) in predicting movements in foreign exchange rates on: a. Short-term basis (for example, three months). b. Long-term basis (for example, six years).An analyst argues that exchange rate movements depend on interest rate differentials (that is, the International Fisher effect), country-specific economic policy uncertainty measures and country-specific GDP growth rates. With this in mind, the analyst estimates the following model: Expected rate of appreciation of yen against the dollar(%)= =0.5[idollar(%) – iyen(%)]+0.5[idollar(%) – iyen(%)]2+0.2[σUS(%) – σJAP(%)]+ +0.2[σUS(%) – σJAP(%)]2+0.1[GDPJAP(%) – GDPUS(%)]. In this model, idollar(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US, iyen(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan, σUS(%) refers to economic policy uncertainty in the US, σJAP(%) refers to economic policy uncertainty in Japan, GDPUS(%) refers to annual GDP growth in the US and GDPJAP(%) refers to annual GDP growth in Japan. Assume idollar=6%, iyen=4%, σUS=5%, σJAP=1%, GDPUS=2% and GDPJAP=1%. Calculate the expected rate of appreciation of the yen against the dollarIt is possible to assert that the exchange rate is endogenous in the equation system nx = c1 + c2 y + c2 ex + u, where nx is net exports, y is gross domestic product, and ex is real exchange rate. Defend this assertion.
- The equilibrium interest rate determined in the IS-LM model will give rise to an implied exchange rate in an open economy. Which one of the following statements regarding this relationship is INCORRECT? (a) The interest parity condition implies that there is a positive relationship between the domestic interest rate and the exchange rate; (b) An increase in the interest rate will cause an upward movement along the IS curve and the exchange rate will appreciate; (c) A decrease in the interest rate will result in an upward shift of the LM curve and the exchange rate will appreciate; (d) A decrease in the interest rate will result in a downward shift of the LM curve and the exchange rate will depreciate.In general, currency crises are associated with severe falls in economic activity. However, a good part of the first- and second-generation currency crisis models does not explicitly model the factors that could explain the recession. Consider a small, open economy with a fixed exchange rate regime and in which investors depend both on the real interest rate, r, as well as a variable, θ, which can be interpreted as a variable associated with the risk of a currency crisis, according to the perception of the agents. Therefore, the investment function can be written as where g1 and g2 are constant positive parameters. For the sake of simplification, assume that variable θ possesses binary behavior, as following described: a. Explain why the perception of a currency crisis negatively affects investments. b. Based on what has been seen in this chapter, especially in what refers to the asset balance sheet currency mismatch of financial institutions, explain how a proxy…An analyst estimates the following exchange rate model for the yen currency against the dollar: Expected rate of appreciation of yen against the dollart(%)= =0.1[idollart-2(%) – iyent-2(%)]+0.5[idollart-1(%) – iyent-1(%)]+1.0[idollar(%)t – iyen(%)t]2+ +0.1[GDPJAPt(%) – GDPUSt(%)]. In this model, idollart(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US in period t, iyent(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan in period t, idollart-1(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US in period t-1, iyent-1(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan in period t-1, idollart-2(%) is the one-year interest rate in the US in period t-2, iyent-2(%) is the one-year interest rate in Japan in period t-2,GDPUSt(%) refers to annual GDP growth in the US in period t and GDPJAP(%) refers to annual GDP growth in Japan in period t. Assume idollart-2=4%, iyent-2=2%,idollart-1=5%, iyent-1=3%, GDPUSt=3% and GDPJAPt=1%. Calculate the one-year interest rate differential idollar(%)t – iyen(%)t that delivers an…
- Please provide an account of the theory of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and critically evaluate its merits as a model of exchange rate determination.Consider our discussion of exchange rate determination. If we had an exogenous increase in US investment in GB (Great Britain), we would expect Group of answer choices A) a depreciation of the $ against the £. B) an appreciation of the dollar ($) against the GB pound, £. C) a depreciation of the £ against the $. D) an increase in the supply (rightward shift) for £ from the currency market. E) a decrease in the supply (leftward shift) of the £ to the currency market.If the foreign price level increases by 3%, and the domestic price level increases by 20%, by what percent should the exchange rate of domestic currency per foreign currency increase, given relative PPP holds? Your answer should be an integer with a % sign assumed to follow (e.g., if you wish to say 48 percent, write 48). The percent increase in the exchange rate should be
- The change of the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has been widely concerned by the market and academia. Since April 2022, the RMB has depreciated rapidly against the US dollar, reaching 6.89 on August 31, 6.92 on September 7; The offshore RMB fell below 6.99, and the market's expectation of RMB falling below 7 was significantly enhanced. Please analyze the factors affecting the exchange rate changes and the reasons for the depreciation of RMB against the US dollar. Requirements : your answer to this question should be no less than 300 wordsOutline and discuss either the purchasing power parity (PPP) or fundamentalequilibrium exchange rate (FEER) as theories of exchange rate determination.U S foreign exchange intervention is sometimes done by an Excha U.S. foreign exchange intervention is sometimes done by an Exchange Stabilization Fund, or ESF (a branch of the Treasury Department), which manages a portfolio of U.S. government and foreign currency bonds. An ESF intervention to support the yen, for example, would take the form of a portfolio shift out of dollar and into yen assets. Show that ESF interventions are automatically sterilized and thus do not alter money supplies. How do ESF operations affect the foreign exchange risk premium?
