Suppose we consider two countries, a home country and a foreign country. In the home country, the expected inflation rate is equal to 3.6 per cent, while the expected inflation rate abroad is equal to 4.2 per cent. Furthermore, it is known that the nominal interest rate in the home country is equal to 3.4 per cent, while the nominal interest rate abroad is equal to 4 per cent.a) First explain what is meant by absolute purchasing power parity, relative purchasing power parity and uncovered nominal interest rate parity. Then give an estimate of the expected growth in the nominal exchange rate based on each of the three theories. Finally, show that if both relative purchasing power parity and uncovered nominal interest rate parity apply, real interest rates in the two countries will be approximately equal.

Discuss methods to overcome inflation in India
Assume that the export price of a Toyota Corolla from Osaka, Japan is ¥4,200,000. The exchange rate is ¥109.60/$. The forecast rate of inflation in the United States is 2.5% per year and is 1.5% per year in Japan. Use this data to answer the following questions on exchange rate passthrough. What was the export price for the Corolla at the beginning of the year expressed in the U.S. Dollars? Assuming purchasing power parity holds, what should the exchange rate be at the end of the year? Assuming a 65% pass-through of the exchange rate, what will be the dollar price of a Corolla at the end of the year?
This question relates to the following news article New Zealand dollar drops to lowest value against US dollar since 2020 (27/09/2022) The New Zealand dollar has dropped to its lowest value against its US equivalent since March 2020. The bad news for Kiwis is that it means it'll take longer for consumer price inflation to fall. ...a weak Kiwi dollar means importing is more expensive. "While we do expect inflation rates to slowly fall from here, the longer the New Zealand dollar remains low. the slower it will take for those inflation rates to fall." ASB senior economist Mark Smith said. Six months ago the New Zealand dollar was US68.9c - now it's at US56.6c, a fall of 18 percent. Aotearoa's dollar is suffering because the US dollar is being pumped up by the US Federal Reserve lifting interest rates to tackle inflation.
