Imagine that the economy is at a point on the DD-AA schedule that is above both AA and DD and where both the output and asset markets are out of equilibrium. Explain what will happen next?
What will be an ideal response?
Since the asset market adjusts very quickly, the exchange rate drops immediately to a point on the AA schedule. There will be excess demand for the domestic currency because the high expected future appreciation rate of the domestic currency implies that the expected domestic currency return on foreign deposits is below that on domestic deposits. This excess demand leads to an immediate fall in the exchange rate.
