4 $100 Arbitrage This!! PPP implies that if inflation in the US is 4% while inflation in Europe is 2%, this should happen. Return to Board The dollar should depreciate by 2% against the Euro.

5 $200 Arbitrage This!! Return to Board Suppose that the dollar is expected to depreciate. UIP suggests that this should happen to US interest rates They should increase by the expected percentage change in the exchange rate

6 $300 Arbitrage This!! Return to Board UIP combined with PPP suggests this about inflation adjusted interest rates. Real (inflation adjusted) interest rates should be equalized across countries.

7 $400 Arbitrage This!! Return to Board Consider the following exchange rates EUR/USD = $1.50 JPY/USD = $.001 JPY/EUR = E.002 You could make money by doing this. Use Yen to buy Euros (the Euro is undervalued), use Euros to buy $ (the Euro is overvalued relative to $)

8 $500 Arbitrage This!! Return to Board Suppose that Americans spend 80% of their income on services while Europeans spend 50% on services. A 10% worldwide increase in the cost of services would do this The US would experience a real appreciation of 3% against the Euro
