At the end of 2014, it was at 1.23 USD/EUR.
Couple of years ago, A Big Mac cost 3.54 USD in the US. The price in the Euro Area was 3.42
EUR. Exchange rate was 1.28 USD/1 EUR.
c) If law of one price would be true how much should it cost in the Euro Area?
d) If Big Mac prices are perfect for determining PPP, is the Euro in comparison to the USD
overvalued or undervalued? For how much?
e) What is a definition of a nominal exchange rate in the value notation? Write an example.
In April 2018, the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the euro is 1 euro = $ 1.21. If in the following months, inflation in the euro zone is lower than the inflation in the U.S., then (other things equal) a possible exchange rate would be:
1 euro = $1
1 euro = $1.6
1 euro = $0.94
Suppose that in 2020, the rate of inflation in Denmark was 0.6%, and the rate of inflation in the Euro area was
