Exchange Rates — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:05:59 +0000

This video lecture walks students through a few scenarios that could lead to a change in a country’s exchange rate and introduces the concept of a managed exchange rate system. Japan and the US are used as an example. We’ll see what happens to the value of the Yen when the Bank of Japan engages in expansionary monetary policy, as well as what happens to the dollar when foreign investors speculate on its future appreciation.
