However, investors cannot know what the rate of depreciation will be. Instead they have to form an opinion of how likely different rates of depreciation are. If investors base their decisions on expected returns only, and if all investors have the same expectations, we have perfect capital mobility between currencies. If we denote expectations with a subscript e, the expected return from investing in kroner is i, and the expected return from investing in dollars is ià ee . With perfect capital mobility, if i > ià ee , everybody wants to invest all their wealth in kroner, and borrow dollars to invest even more in kroner.
After the depreciation, the public then wants to reduce its holdings of foreign currency and buy kroner. Thus, if both Fp0 > 0 and fW < 1, the wealth effect means that a depreciation lowers the domestic public's demand for foreign currency. 19) to a positive slope of the supply curve. e. if the public has foreign currency debts (Fp0 < 0) or if there is excessive speculation (fW > 1). A symmetric statement can be made about the portfolio composition effect on foreigners. If foreigners have positive holdings of our currency (BÃ0 > 0), they lose from a depreciation.
The central bank stands ready to lend or borrow money at this interest rate as the public demands. 1. There we drew an upward-sloping supply curve for foreign currency. We can now examine the slope of the supply curve as it appears in the simple portfolio model. 14), we get P f r; Wp À Pà Wà À b r; Wà E Bp0 EFp0 P À f i À ià À ee E ; P E !

It changes the real value of existing stocks of assets, and it changes expected depreciation.
