Exchange Rates and Their Determination:
A Basic Model
CHAPTER 13CHAPTER 13
3
What is the exchange rate?
• Value of one currency in terms of another currency
• Spot rate = rate for transaction on spot
Is the exchange rate flow or stock?
4
Has dollar appreciated or depreciated?
• Yesterday the spot rate was€1 = $1.43
• Today the spot rate is€1 = $1.53
• Dollar has depreciated
5
What is the rate of depreciation of dollar?
Beginning Rate- Ending Rate%Δ in Spot Rate= *100
Beginning Rate
%Δ = (1.43-1.53)* 100 /1.43 = -7%
Dollar depreciated by 7%
6
Euros per Dollar: What is causing these fluctuations?

Average yearly exchange rate of euro
• $1.0658 in 1999• $0.9236 in 2000• $0.8956 in 2001• $0.9456 in 2002• $1.1312 in 2003• $1.2439 in 2004• $1.2441 in 2005• $1.2556 in 2006

Demand and Supply ForcesAffect the Exchange Rate.
• Foreign Exchange Market 1. Demand Curve
• Shows the quantity demanded for a currency by residents of another country at different exchange rates.
2. Supply Curve• Shows the amount of a currency
supplied at a different exchange rates.
9
Consider demand for euro by Americans
• Why will Americans demand euro?• To import European goods and
services• To buy European bonds/stocks• To sell the euros later or in a
different location for profits

Consider supply of Euro by Europeans
• Why will Europeans supply euro?• To importers American goods and
services• To buy American bonds/stocks• To sell later or in the different location for
profits

• Equilibrium Exchange:– The exchange rate where the quantity
demanded of foreign exchange equals the quantity supplied.
• In our examples, the amount of euros U.S. residents want to buy equals the amount of euros Europeans want to sell.

23
Are fluctuations in the value of a currency good or bad for the
economy?• No surplus/ shortage
– Good
24
But fluctuations in the value of a currency discourages international trade or investment.
• I order a US car today for $30,000• Delivery and payment in 6 months• In 6 months, what if $ appreciates against euro?• I have to spend more euros than expected.• Uncertainty discourages international trade
– Bias toward trade within a nation
25
But wait; there is a solution
• I can buy dollars in a forward market.– Sign a contract today to buy $30,000 in six
months for €0.8 per dollar.• There is a fee involved
26
• Need reasonably accurate forecasts for country’s
– GDP – Inflation – Interest rate
• The supply/demand model is good for general comments about exchange over the medium to long run.
