Answer to Question 1

Interest rate parity occurs when, for risk-free transactions, the rate of return earned by a unit of currency is the same in different nations. If the rate of return for the U.S. dollar is higher than that for, say, the Japanese yen, interest rate parity does not hold. In this case people will expect the value of the dollar to fall against the yen (that is, the U.S. dollar is expected to depreciate over time) so that interest rate parity is restored because the rate of return earned by a unit of currency is the same in both nations.
