1、Relationship Between Inflation, Interest Rates and Exchange Rates Learning OutcomesLearning outcomes for Lecture 7: A. Discuss the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory and its implications for exchange rate changesB. Discuss the International Fisher effect (IFE) theory and its implications for excha

2、nge rate changesC. Compare the PPP theory, the IFE theory, and the theory of interest rate parity (IRP), which was introduced in the previous chapterPurchasing Power Parity (PPP)1. Interpretations of Purchasing Power Paritya. Absolute Form of PPP: It suggests that prices of the same basket of produc

3、ts in 2 different countries should be equal when measure in a common currency. Realistically, the existence of transportation costs, tariffs and quotas prevent absolute PPPb. Relative Form of PPP: State that the rate of change in the prices of the baskets should be somewhat similar when measured in

4、a common currency, as long as transportation costs and trade barriers are unchanged Relative PPP2. Rationale behind Purchasing Power Parity Theory:Exchange rate adjustment is necessary for the relative purchasing power to be the same whether buying products locally or from another countryAppreciatio

5、n/Depreciation of future exchange rate = Inflation differentialRefer to e.g. in p.234Derivation of PPPlef = (1+Ih)/(1+If) 1lef = % change in foreign currencylIh = Inflation of home countrylIf = Inflation of foreign country lThe formula reflects the relationship between relative inflation rates and e
