Teaching Exchange Rate Modeling with a Classroom Project

This paper describes a project developed for an undergraduate International Economics course. Students are organized into groups, and each group is assigned one country. Each group must research basic facts about the country, collect data on its economy, and analyze the predictions from purchasing power parity and interest rate parity using the collected data. Students report their findings in writing and in a class presentation. This project gives students practical experience in collecting and analyzing economic data, teaches them about different countries, and facilitates new connections among students.
