Assume that you are studying exchange rates between India and the US. Assume that the equilibrium exchange rate in India is 76 Indian rupees per US dollar. Now suppose that the inflation rate falls in India. Which of the following choices shows a change we would expect to see in the Indian forex market? The demand for the US dollar would rise, leading to a depreciation of the Indian rupee. The demand for the Indian rupee would increase leading to an appreciation of the US dollar.

- In 1992, 18.6 million Canadians visited the United States, but only 11.8 million U.S. residents visited Canada. By 2002, roles had been reversed: more U.S. residents visited Canada than vice versa. Why did the tourism reverse direction? Canada didn’t get any warmer from 1992 to 2002 – but it did get cheaper. The reason is a large change in the exchange rate: in 1992 Canadian dollar was worth $0.80, but by 2002 it had fallen in the value by 20% to about $0.65. This means that Canadian goods and services, particularly hotel rooms and meals, were about 20% cheaper for Americans in 2002 compared to 1992. American vacations had become 20% more expensive for Canadians. Canadians responded by vacationing in their own country or in other parts of the world. Foreign travel is an example of a good that has a high price elasticity of demand: elasticity=4.1. One reason is that foreign travel is a luxury good for most people – you may regret not going to Paris this year, but you can live…arrow_forwardCountry C is a highly trade-dependent economy operating under a managed float exchange rate system.
