Whether or not one likes a strong U.S. dollar depends on their perspective. For those who are looking to travel abroad, a strong dollar means they can get more for their money. On the other hand, for those who are looking to export goods, a strong dollar can make their products more expensive for foreign buyers. A strong dollar can have a significant impact on U.S. firms. It can make their products more expensive for foreign buyers, which can lead to a decrease in demand and a decrease in profits. Additionally, a strong dollar can make it more difficult for U.S. firms to compete with foreign firms, as their products may be more expensive. Finally, a strong dollar can also make it more difficult for U.S. firms to borrow money from foreign lenders, as the cost of borrowing may be higher.

Using data from The Economist's Big Mac Index for 2019, the following table shows the local currency price of a Big Mac in several countries as well as the actual exchange rate between each country and the United States. At the time of the data collection, a Big Mac would have cost you $5.74 in the United States and GBP 3.29 in the United Kingdom. The actual exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar was $1.25 per pound. The dollar price of a Big Mac purchased in the United Kingdom was, therefore, computed as follows:
Dollar price of a Big Mac in the United KingdomDollar price of a Big Mac in the United Kingdom
= =
GBP 3.29×$1.25GBP 1.00GBP 3.29×$1.25GBP 1.00
= =
$4.11$4.11
For the price you paid for a Big Mac in the United States, you could have purchased a Big Mac in the United Kingdom and had some change left over for fries!
Complete the final column of the table by computing the dollar price of a Big Mac for the countries where this amount is…
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)?

- In the foreign exchange market, the supply curve for the dollar is upward sloping. That is, when the exchange rate (foreign currency per dollar) increases, the quantity of dollars supplied increases. Assuming actors have not yet had time to change their expectations about the future exchange rate, when the exchange rate increases, why is the supply curve of dollars in the foreign exchange market upward sloping? Foreign goods and services are less expensive to import. U.S. firms profit more by selling their goods and services domestically rather than selling to foreigners. The expected profitability of purchasing a dollar today to sell in the future rises. U.S. goods are less expensive for foreigners to purchase.arrow_forwardThe electricity prices and the natural gas prices have increased drastically, 15 percent and 12 percent respectively. The direct effect of these increases on the inflation rate is 0.6 percent, and the indirect effect is more than 1 percent. Taking into consideration that the producer price index is over 38 percent. Please discuss in detail the effects of these increases on the consumer price index, exchange rate and the current account deficit.

Using data from The Economist's Big Mac Index for April 2002, the following table shows the local currency price of a Big Mac in several countries and the actual exchange rate. At the time, a Big Mac in the United States would have cost you 2.49 pounds. The actual exchange rate between the pound and the euro was £0.69 per British pound. The euro price of a Big Mac in the United States was, therefore, 2.49 British pounds x £0.69 per British pound = £1.71, which is less than you'd have paid in the UK.

- As the price level decreases, the cost of borrowing money will (remain the same/increase/decrease) , causing the quantity of output demanded to (rise/increase/fall/remain the same) . This phenomenon is known as the (exchange rate/interest rate/wealth) effect. Additionally, as the price level decreases, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to (rise/decrease/falll) in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will therefore (rise/increase/fall/remain the same) , and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports) will (rise/decrease/fall/remain the same) . Net exports will therefore (rise/increase/fall/remain the same) , causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to (fall/increase/remain the same/rise) . This phenomenon is known as the (exchange rate/interest rate/wealth) effect.arrow_forwardAn exchange rate is the domestic price to purchase one unit of a foreign currency. For example, how much does it cost in Canadian dollars to buy one US dollar? There are various economic theories to predict exchange rates. The simplest theory is known as the Law of One Price or also known as Absolute Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). Use absolute PPP and the price of a Big Mac in different countries to complete the table below and to predict whether the local currency is over or undervalued compared to the US dollar.

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_forward
