2. 19-2 Foreign Exchange Rates

3. © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc. 19-3 The Foreign Exchange Market Definitions: 1.Spot exchange rate 2.Forward exchange rate 3.Appreciation 4.Depreciation Currency appreciates, country’s goods prices  abroad and foreign goods prices  in that country 1.Makes domestic businesses less competitive 2.Benefits domestic consumers FX traded in over-the-counter market 1.Trade is in bank deposits denominated in different currencies

4. 19-4 Law of One Price Example: Canadian steel $100 per ton, Japanese steel 10,000 yen per ton If E = 50 yen/$ then prices are: Canadian SteelJapanese Steel In Canada$100$200 In Japan5000 yen10,000 yen If E = 100 yen/$ then prices are: Canadian SteelJapanese Steel In Canada$100$100 In Japan10,000 yen10,000 yen Law of one price  E = 100 yen/$ © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc.

5. 19-5 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) PPP  Domestic price level  10%, domestic currency  10% 1.Application of law of one price to price levels 2.Works in long run, not short run Problems with PPP 1.All goods not identical in both countries: Toyota vs Chevy 2.Many goods and services are not traded: e.g. haircuts

6. © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc. 19-6 PPP: Canada and U.S.

7. 19-7 Factors Affecting E in Long Run Basic Principle: If factor increases demand for domestic goods relative to foreign goods, E  © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc.

8. 19-8 Expected Returns and Interest Parity R e for FrancoisAl $ Depositsi D + (E e t+1 – E t )/E t i D Euro Depositsi F i F – (E e t+1 – E t )/E t Relative R e i D – i F + (E e t+1 – E t )/E t i D – i F + (E e t+1 – E t )/E t Interest Parity Condition: $ and Euro deposits perfect substitutes i D = i F – (E e t+1 – E t )/E t Example:if i D = 10% and expected appreciation of $, (E e t+1 – E t )/E t, = 5%  i F = 15%

12. 19-12 Shifts in R F R F curve shifts right when 1.i F  : because R F  at each E t 2.E e t+1  : because expected appreciation of F  at each E t and R F  Occurs E e t+1  i F : 1) Domestic P , 2) Trade Barriers  3) Imports , 4) Exports , 5) Productivity  © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc.

13. 19-13 Shifts in R D R D shifts right when 1. i D  ; because R D  at each E t Assumes that domestic  e unchanged, so domestic real rate 

15. 19-15 Response to i  Because  e  1.  e , E e t+1 , expected appreciation of F , R F shifts out to right 2. i D , R D shifts to right However because  e  > i D , real rate , E e t+1  more than i D  R F out > R D out and E t  © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc.

16. 19-16 Response to M s  1. M s , P , E e t+1  expected appreciation of F , R F shifts right 2. M s , i D , R D shifts left Go to point 2 and E t  3. In the long run, i D returns to old level, R D shifts back, go to point 3 and get Exchange Rate Overshooting © 2005 Pearson Education Canada Inc.

17. 19-17 Why Exchange Rate Volatility? 1. Expectations of Ee t+1 fluctuate 2. Exchange rate overshooting
