The exchange rate is the price of one asset in terms of another, the
natural way to investigate the short-run determination of exchange
rates is to use an asset market approach that relies heavily on the theory
of asset demand developed.

Similarly, the other long-run determinants of the exchange rate, the following
changes, all of which increase the demand for domestic goods relative to foreign
goods( shift the demand curve to the right), will raise the expected future

III. CHANGES IN THE EQUILIBRIUM
EXCHANGE RATE: TWO EXAMPLES
D
The Fisher equation indicates that the interest rate i can change
for two reasons: Either the real interest rate i r changes or the
expected inflation rate changes. The effect on the exchange rate
is quite different, depending on which of these two factors is the
source of the change in the nominal interest rate.
III.1 CHANGE IN INTEREST RATE
Expected inflation
The rise in expected domestic inflation leads to
a decline in the expected appreciation of the
dollar, which is typically thought to be larger
than the increase in the domestic interest rate
