5) Discuss (and, if possible, give contemporary examples of) exchange-rate quotations, in terms of spot rates, forward rates, real exchange rates, effective exchange rates! What happens when a currency depreciates against another currency?
6) I would like you tp discuss the key determinants of exchange rates. In that discussion please make sure to distinguish between the different (long-term, medium-term, and short-term) time horizons of exchange-rate determination.
7) Under what conditions (see Marshall-Lerner Condition) will a depreciation effectively help reduce a country's trade deficit? What is the J-curve and how does its presence in effect alter (or perhaps even undermine) this adjustment process?
8) Compare (by listing and assessing the pluses as well as the minuses) of flexible exchange rates versus fixed exchange rates! How do countries decide which exchange-rate regime to pursue?
