问题如下:
When the real exchange rate( assuming domestic currency is price currency and foreign currency is base currency) increased, which of the followings is most likely to be associated with an decrease?
选项:
A.Nominal exchange rate.
B.Domestic price level.
C.Foreign price level.
解释:
B is correct.
The formula of real exchange rate is :
Real exchange rate
An decrease in the domestic price level increases the real exchange rate because it implies an decrease in the purchasing power of the domestic currency compared to foreign currency.
考点: exchange rate
解析: Real exchange rate
根据上述公式,较高的Nominal exchange rate,较高的Foreign price level,以及较低的Domestic price level会产生较高的Real exchange rate
有点没有明白题目。如果说一般的real exchange rate是默认 “外币/本币” (本币作为base currency),那么题目中的含义是现在以 “本币/外币” 来看real exchange rate. 那当这个exchange rate 上升的时候,不是只有本币下跌,或者外币上升,才会使这个exhcange rate上升么?
