You are given the following information. The current dollar/euro exchange rate is 1.25 dollars per euro. A U.S. basket that costs $100 would cost 64 euro in the euro area. For the next year, the Fed is predicted to keep U.S. inflation at 3% and the ECB is predicted to keep euro area inflation at 1%. The speed of convergence to absolute PPP is 15% per year. e. What is the expected U.S. minus euro area inflation differential for the coming year? f. What is the expected rate of nominal depreciation for the United States (versus the euro)?

Consider the exchange rate between U.S. Dollar and Mexican Peso: USD/MXN. Initially, the supply curve for USD is 100+e, bln dollars per week and the demand curve is 140 - e„bln dollars per week. There is a financial crisis in Mexico and the government fears that it may lead to capital outflows that would make the crisis even worse. They decide that if Mexican Peso depreciates by more than 20%, the central bank will step in and fix the exchange rate. As the crisis unfolds the demand for the U.S. dollars increases to 142-e and the supply of dollars falls to 99+ e N' How should the central bank of Mexico react to this change?

(b) Suppose the real exchange rate is 10, the domestic price level is 8, and the foreign price level is 4. (i) What is the nominal exchange rate? Use the expression: ereal= enor*P / Pfor where ereal is real exchange rate, enor is nominal exchange rate, P is domestic price level and Pfor is foreign price level. (ii) Suppose the real exchange rate rises by 10%, the inflation rate in the domestic country is 6%, and the inflation rate in the foreign country is 4%. By what percentage does the nominal exchange rate change?
Purchasing-power parity holds between the nationsof Ectenia and Wiknam, where the only commodityis Spam.a. In 2020, a can of Spam costs 4 dollars in Ecteniaand 24 pesos in Wiknam. What is the exchange ratebetween Ectenian dollars and Wiknamian pesos?b. Over the next 20 years, inflation is expected to be3.5 percent per year in Ectenia and 7 percent peryear in Wiknam. If this inflation comes to pass,what will the price of Spam and the exchangerate be in 2040? (Hint: Recall the rule of 70 fromChapter 27.)c. Which of these two nations will likely have ahigher nominal interest rate? Why?d. A friend of yours suggests a get-rich-quickscheme: Borrow from the nation with the lowernominal interest rate, invest in the nation with thehigher nominal interest rate, and profit from theinterest-rate differential. Do you see any potentialproblems with this idea? Explain.
Assume that initially nominal exchange rate is E1=4 ($1 = ±4) and domestic (Turkey) inflation rate is TTR=10% percent while the US inflation rate is tUS*=0%. If %3D export value of Turkey equals ± 200 billion and it's import is $80 billion. Initially Turkey NX (net export) would display t billion deficit. If the nominal exchange rate increases suddenly from E1=4 to E2=5,5 while the price levels are still fixed (at the first step of J Curve) NX would be t billion deficit in short run. If the real exchange rate elasticity of export is 0,4 and real exchange rate elasticity of import is -0,4. NX would converge to t billion deficit in long run.
