The International Fisher Effect (IFE), Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and Interest Rate Parity (IRP) are three very important theories in international finance, each with its own predictions and implication. Which of the following is correct? IRP suggests that a change in interest rate differential will not change the currency's forward premium/discount.

Respond with your thoughts 150 words Personally, I do not agree with the statement that purchasing power parity (PPP) and interest rate parity (IRP) are without any problems. Purchasing power parity, though I do agree that it may be a useful method for comparing the market environments of different nations, has several imperfections. First and foremost, it is difficult to accurately assess the true value of goods across the globe. Granted, this may be the reasoning behind the so called...
