1). You’ve analyzed the .economist.com/node/21542808″>Big Mac index and read “.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/07/big-mac-index”>Currency comparisons, to go.” Is one of these more useful than the other, or are
they both useful, just in different situations? Post to the discussion board on
how each of these different data analyses could be used and if you think one is
inherently better or more useful than the other.

2). Consider what you read in “.npr.org/blogs/money/2010/09/29/130209459/currency-war-the-weakest-shall-win”>Currency War: Fighting to Be Weaker,” and “.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/01/09/144906094/swiss-franc-is-the-peg-working”>Swiss Franc: Is The Peg Working?” as well as what you learned from the lecture and
lecture supplemental materials. Why is currency devaluation so sought after in
the weak economy? Do you think there are any downsides to this tactic for
countries?
