The Exchange Rate

How to assess the misalignments of real exchange rate in developing countries has been a difficult and unresolved issue. Over the decades, researchers have not found desirable methods to estimate the “Equilibrium Exchange Rate”. The Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) approach has limitations, and the fixed or managed floating exchange rate regimes in developing countries make the estimating more difficult. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the limitations of the Macroeconomic Balance approach and the existing PPP approach for estimating equilibrium exchange rate in developing countries, and introduce a new method–the Adjusted PPP method to assess exchange rate in developing countries. The new method includes the Human Development Index (HDI) to adjust the traditional PPP estimates. By introducing the adjustments of HDI, the big quality differences in non-tradable goods and services between developed and developing countries are adjusted for the exchange rate estimates. Also, as a case study, the paper estimated the exchange rate in China of 1991-2013.

Degree Of Convergence

In pursuit to sketch the Pakistan USA Exchange Rate patterns for the duration of 1991M3 to 2010M5 using the CHEERS model, the role of Goods Market and Financial Market is implied through the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) respectively. The results using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) revealed that both Parities work in combination with near unity elasticities to explain the motion of Exchange Rate in Long Run, but it showed very slow degree of convergence (around 3 and half years) to this equilibrium path after any shock.

In 2011 the ongoing appreciation in the yen against the US$ led Japanese firm Shiomi to consider relocating its production facilities outside of Japan. As a prelude to making this decision, Shiomi commissioned an evaluation of the historical impact of the yen’s appreciation on Japanese competitiveness. This evaluation is the basis for two important lessons in international financial management.  First, it is the real exchange rate, rather than the nominal exchange rate, that determines the relative cost competitiveness of countries. Second, in accordance with the rules of purchasing power parity, the historical evaluation showed that higher inflation in the U.S. relative to Japan caused the ratio of Japanese to U.S. prices to fall at roughly the same rate as the yen’s appreciation against the US$. Thus the long-term appreciation in the yen had little impact on Japanese competitiveness. Students are asked to assess the relocation decision in light of the post-case data on exchange rates and consumer prices supplied in the case. The case is appropriate for use in an international financial management or international economics course.
