In this subject, students will develop an understanding of the structure and operation of the international financial system, including an understanding of the process via which exchange rates are derived. Students will also develop a thorough knowledge and understanding of the logic and relevance of the four major international parity conditions: Purchasing Power Parity; Covered Interest Parity; Uncovered Interest Parity; and Real Interest Parity. Based on their understanding of these parity conditions, students will evaluate the relative merits and the risks avoided with investing in a foreign currency.
