DOMESTIC INTEREST RATE,
i
D
Suppose that dollar assets pay an interest rate of
i
D
. When the domestic interest rate on dollar assets
i
D
rises, holding the current
exchange rate
E
t
and everything else constant, the return on dollar assets increases
relative to foreign assets, so people will want to hold more dollar assets. The
quantity of dollar assets demanded increases at every value of the exchange rate,
as shown by the rightward shift of the demand curve in Figure 19-4 from
D
1
to
D
2
.
The new equilibrium is reached at point 2, the intersection of
D
2
and
S
, and the
equilibrium exchange rate rises from
E
1
to
E
2
.
