Long-Run Equilibrium: Linking Interest Differentials to Inflation Differentials via UIP

Real Interest Parity

Consider two countries, Country A and Country B, which have fully integrated financial markets. Country A has a nominal interest rate of 6% and an inflation rate of 4%. Country B has a nominal interest rate of 3% and an inflation rate of 2%. Based on these conditions, which of the following describes the most likely reaction of global investors and the resulting long-run tendency?

Market Forces and Long-Run Parity

True or False: In a long-run equilibrium for two countries with highly integrated financial markets, if their inflation rates are identical, their nominal interest rates must also be approximately identical.

Two countries, A and B, have fully integrated financial markets. Country A's central bank sets a nominal interest rate of 5% and has an inflation rate of 2%. Country B has a nominal interest rate of 7%. For the two economies to be in a long-run equilibrium where there is no significant pressure for net capital flows, the inflation rate in Country B must be approximately ____%.

Match each economic term or relationship with its correct description, assuming a long-run equilibrium between two countries (a domestic country and a foreign country, denoted by *) with integrated financial markets.

The Market Mechanism Driving Long-Run Parity

A financial analyst observes two countries, A and B, with integrated financial markets. Initially, the nominal interest rate differential between them (i_A - i_B) is significantly greater than their inflation differential (π_A - π_B). Arrange the following events in the logical sequence that describes how market forces would drive these economies toward a long-run equilibrium.
