International Finance Theory and Policy - Chapter 20-3: Last Purchasing Power Parity Theory (PPP Theory)• Most widely accepted theory “According to PPP theory, when exchange rates are of a fluctuating nature, the rate of exchange between two currencies in the long run will be fixed by their respective purchasing powers in their own nations.”• i.e the price of a good that is charged in one country should be equal to the one charged for the same good in another country, being exchanged at the current rate. In contrast with the BOP theory of foreign exchange, in which the rate of exchange is determined by the flow of funds in the foreign exchange market, the monetary approach postulates that the rates of exchange are determined through the balancing of the total demand and supply of the national currency in each country. exchange rate theories purchasing power parity : one of the most controversial theories. based on inflation exchange rate relationship. in its absolute form it is also called “law of one price”. 5. exchange rate theories this theory suggests that the price of similar products of two different countries should be equal, if they are measured in a common currency. exchange rate domestic currency depreciate under flexible system version of PPP states exchange rate between two currency is the ratio of – A free PowerPoint PPT presentation (displayed as a Flash slide show) on PowerShow.com - id: 167627-ZDc1Z

For another, the cost of goods and Interest rate parity connects interest, spot exchange, and foreign exchange rates. It plays a crucial role in Forex markets. IRP theory comes handy in analyzing
This is another theory which tried to explain FDI. Initially the foreign exchange risk has been analyzed from the perspective of international trade. Itagaki (1981 ) and Cushman (1985 ) analyzed the influence of uncertainty as a factor of FDI. In the only empirical analysis made so far, Cushman shows that real exchange rate increase stimulated FDI

This article throws light upon the three theories of determination of foreign exchange rates. The theories are: 1. Purchasing Power Parity Theory 2. Interest Rate Theories 3. Other Determinants of Exchange Rates. Determination of Exchange Rates: Theory # 1. Purchasing Power Parity Theory: 15 The Theory of Exchange Rate Determination 1.2. I The Stochastic Behavior of Exchange Rates and Related Variables Experience with floating exchange rates between the United States dollar and other major currencies (the British pound, the German mark, the French franc, the Swiss franc, and the Japanese yen) during the 1970s has revealed Exchange Rate Determination 1.- Introduction This note discusses (briefly) the theories behind the determination of the exchange rate. By no means this is supposed to be a treaty in the subject. I will leave important contributions aside. Thus, here I mostly analyze what in my opinion are the most important ones. 2.- Theories PPP In the PPP theory, exchange rate changes are induced by changes in relative price levels between two countries. This is true because the quantities of the goods are always presumed to remain fixed in the market baskets. Therefore, the only way that the cost of the basket can change is if the goods’ prices change. The bulky book deals with exchange rate theories on 225 pages, almost 30% of the book. Further chapters on the history of the world monetary system, optimal currency areas and the European Monetary Union add to the theories.
