Answer to Question 1

No. An increase in U.S. inflation relative to foreign inflation is likely to reduce the demand for dollars relative to other currencies. This will cause the nominal exchange rate to increase, a depreciation of the dollar relative to other currencies, and thus the effect on the real exchange rate is unclear.

Answer to Question 2

C
