Overview

Eight economists who teach at the U. of Western Australia and the U. of Melbourne, as well as two economists at banks have contributed nine papers on the interactions of exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. The topics include theory and current applications of purchasing power parity, the function of free-floating exchange rates during economic crises, the efficacy of purchasing power parity in measuring international competitiveness, and gold as a case study of the effect of major currency exchange rates on the prices of internationally traded commodities.
