1. Please visit the following link on the Economist.com and an.docxjackiewalcutt
1. Please visit the following link on the Economist.com and answer the following three questions based
on data from any of the tables here. (There are about half a dozen tables linked under “economic and
financial indicators” on the right side of the page. These tables contain data on output, prices, wages,
inflation, interest rates etc.)
http://www.economist.com/markets-data
For the purposes of answering these questions, assume that interest rates refer to the annual rates on
10-year government bonds. If necessary, please state any other assumptions. Based on Britain (₤)
and Canada (C$):
a. For practical purposes, does real interest rate parity exist between these two countries? Please
show me your calculations.
b. Compared to last year, has the C$ appreciated or depreciated against the pound, and by how
much? (Please provide your reasoning and computations). Is this what you would expect based
on your answer to part a? Explain your reasoning.
c. Identify any two other factors from the tables that, in general, predict exchange rate appreciation
or depreciation, and determine if the appreciation or depreciation of the C$ is consistent with
what you might predict
2. In general, several variables appear to affect the future value of a currency. Everything else being
equal, with reference to the home country, clearly explain in a couple of sentences how each of the
following variables are likely to appreciate or depreciate the country’s currency: (please think
carefully before you answer these questions). (6 points)
a. Increase in GDP/output
b. Increase in money supply (M)
c. Increase in nominal interest rate (In)
d. Increase in real interest rate (Ir)
e. Increase in inflation
f. Increase in current account surplus
3. Compare and contrast home replication, global, transnational and multi-domestic strategies. Please
provide some examples of each type of strategy in your discussion. Please ensure that your
discussion contains an understanding of the conditions under which each strategy might be considered
appropriate.

following rates posted. (Please note that for full credit, you must show the steps to the correct answer
clearly and cleanly, not just the final answer.)
SF/$ = 0.9154 Y/$ = 100.26
a. What is the Y/SF exchange rate?
b. What is the SF/Y exchange rate?
c. If the SF appreciated by 10% what would then new rate be?
d. If the Yen depreciated by 25% relative to the original exchange rate (i.e. answer to part a, or
part b), what would the new rate be?
5. In recent months, several emerging markets such as India, Indonesia, Brazil and to a lesser extent
Brazil have seen a sharp depreciation of their currencies against the US dollar, as well as an increase
in volatility of their markets. In orde ...
