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.

A European investor lives near one of his country’s borders. In Country A (where he lives), banks are offering an 8% interest rate and the inflation rate is 3%. Country B, on the other hand, has an inflation rate of 23%, and banks are offering 26% interest on deposits. a. What real or effective interest rate does the investor earn when investing in his own country? b. The investor believes that the currency of Country B will not change in its value relative to the value of the currency of Country A during this year. In which country would he get a larger effective interest rate? c. Suppose that he invests in a bank in Country B and that his prediction turns out to be wrong: the currency of Country B was devaluated 20% with respect to the exchange value of Country A’s currency. What effective interest rate would he obtain in this case?

4.Paul made holidays in Istanbul in February 2021. The nominal exchange rate then was 1 GBP = 10 TRY, that is he could buy ten Turkish Lira for one Pound Sterling. In total he spent 500 GBP on the hotel, restaurants, etc. Paul enjoyed it a lot, and hence wants to repeat the very same holiday in February 2022. In the meanwhile the pound appreciated relative to the Turkish lira. In particular, now 1 GBP = 20 TRY. At the same time Turkey had 50% inflation since last year meaning that the hotels, restaurants, etc. are 50% more expensive. Assume that there was zero inflation in the UK. How much cheaper (in GBP) is the holiday this year for Paul? a. 250 GBP b. 125 GBP c. 0 GBP d. 62.5 GBP
