Theories • Most important theories • Mundell-Fleming model • The optimum currency area (OCA) theory • The purchasing power parity (PPP) theory Big Mac Index
PPP Theory-Big Mac Index(1) • The PPP exchange-rate calculation is using the baskets of goods(veggies, meat, bread etc.) • Big Mac as an indicator(Bread,meat,veggies,labor(!)) If a Big Mac costs 4 $ in the United States and 3 £ in the United Kingdom, the PPP exchange rate would be £3 for $4 = 1,33 $/£ But in reality it’s about 1,50 $/£ In this case the dollar is undervalued/pound overvalued
