Abstract
This research examines the supposition that China utilizes its foreign exchange rate to erect an effective barrier to foreign imports of goods and services while it encourages foreign direct investment. The strategy China employs to expand its export market and minimize its import market is simple but effective and not as blatantly antagonistic as an outright tariff on imports or imposition of quotas on imported goods.

Abstract
The paper defines the foreign exchange rate, and details the differences between fixed and variable rates. The paper explores how, as the financial markets become intensely developed with the growth of globalization, several financial instruments have been created to diversify the possible contract types between the partners, and hedge them against possible risks connected with the foreign currency. The paper details these financial instruments. The paper concludes with details of research that is necessary to further examine fluctuations of the currency rates and their derivatives.
From the Paper
"The price of a non-dividend paying future can be set by discounting the present price to maturity by the rate of risk free rate of return, which is usually the return on the long term government bonds or bonds with the same maturity as the financial derivative. The forward price is set as follows: Ft,T = Ster(T - t) - PVt(D) + PVt(C) , where it is the spot price at time t discounted at a continuous discount rate minus the present value of the dividends to be received from holding the asset until them plus the present vlaue of the cost of holding the asset. When the forward price is not equal to this equation, there is opportunity for risk free arbitrage."

Abstract
This paper discusses foreign exchange markets, focusing on the gold standard. The paper describes the gold standard as it was used in the past and discusses whether it is still a relevant and useful option in the present. The paper begins by discussing how money functions today in a foreign exchange market without a gold standard. It suggests that although the gold standard may have had its place during the 19th and early 20th centuries, it is not a fungible ideal in today's commodity markets.

Abstract
Foreign Exchange Markets
From the Paper
"On one hand, this might seem like a positive attribute of the gold standard, as the tremendous volatility that exists in all the major currency markets today would be curtailed. But the gold standard would also mean that no nation's central bank could hope to manipulate the nation's monetary supply with any great dexterity in the short term, resulting, quite often, in severe economic shocks. The major benefit to the gold standard is that it can prevent long-term inflation in a country because there is no impetus to print money or to create money beyond a certain level of gold reserve stores. But, because "economies under the gold standard were so vulnerable to real and monetary shocks, prices were highly unstable in the short run." (Moffatt, 2006)"

China's Exchange Rate as a Barrier to Trade, 2006.
A review of China's currency policy and the impact it has on global trade patterns.

Abstract
This research discusses China's currency policy and how it affects global trade patterns.This paper pays particular attention to trade patterns with the world's leading economies such as the US and the EU. The US trade deficit with China is cited as an example of its use of an artificially valued currency as an effective barrier to trade imports into China. In this sense China's undervalued yuan is a barrier to imports and is maintained as such although China employs its undervalued yuan more to maintain its comparative advantage relative to its export market.
From the Paper
"There are many types of trade barriers that can have a deep and lasting impact on the character of trade relations between nations. One of the most visible nations in the world today relative to trade and economic vitality is China. China's de facto role as the world's manufacturer has meant that its export market and foreign trade relations are intricately intertwined with the leading economies of the world such as the US and the EU. In this respect, leveling the balance of trade between China and these other leading economies is important to their long-term health. For example, the size of the US' trade deficit with China was over $200 billion and growing in 2004 (China, 2005)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Lebanon was an important international financial center through 1975; but, since 1975 the Lebanese economy has seldom had a chance to function efficiently and monetary stability frequently has proven to be elusive. This paper points out that the current exchange rate policy followed by Lebanon is a managed float targeted to the United States dollar. The author reports that Egypt?s current exchange rate policy is the same as Lebanon?s managed float; but Israel follows a composite currency peg policy, which assigns proportional weights to a basket of currencies to establish the exchange value for their currency and reflects that country?s international trade, capital flows and other relevant economic aggregates.

From the Paper
"Since 1992, the government of Lebanon has faced-up to the job of restoring economic stability and confidence in the country. The government and the Central Bank of Lebanon also have broken the hold on the country?s the economy of the vicious circle of inflationary financing and instability of the rate of exchange of the Lebanese pound. These actions primarily were manifestations of the dire political status in which Lebanon found itself as both a pawn and a battleground for Israelis, Syrians and Arab militant organizations."

Abstract
In this article, the researcher proposes the use of combined qualitative and quantitative techniques to review how exchange rates affect the level of foreign direct investment and capital flow across borders. The writer notes that more and more business enterprises are realizing that to remain competitive in the global marketplace, they must adapt their processes and policies to reflect the economic environment surrounding them. This study examines this phenomenon in greater detail and provides a theoretical framework for explaining the relation between exchange rates and international business processes. The writer provides a comprehensive review of the literature available on exchange rate volatility, influence and mobility and combines this information with data gathered from primary research.

From the Paper
"Streissler points out that the role of exchange rates in international business relations and operations remains one of the more controversial issues in international research and literature. Because this issue is controversial and as yet unsettled, it is important that more research is conducted to help solidify theoretical propositions describing the influence exchange rates have on decision making in business. This study will help achieve this aim, determining the exact effect exchange rates have on foreign direct investment and capital flow across borders."

From the Paper
"According to Warren Reeves in his book, "Accounting", foreign exchange rate can be defined as the price of one currency expressed in terms of another. The foreign exchange market makes it possible for international trade to be accomplished more efficiently than barter. Because each nation uses its own monetary unit people in one country, who want to purchase something in another country must exchange their own currency for the other to accommodate the transaction. The foreign exchange market is where one nation's currency is traded for another..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the primary factor affecting the exchange rate of a country adopting a floating exchange rate regime is the supply and demand of the respective currency on the international market. The paper then goes on to discuss the various factors that make the demand and supply vary, thus affecting the exchange.
From the Paper
"In the respective announcement, the public found out that the US economy had produced only 21,000 new jobs and none in the private sector, from the 150,000 that had been predicted previously. The signal this send the investors was quite clear: the US economy is not performing as well as we may have thought, it is not producing new workplaces (which would be a sign of rising business, as new employees would be needed). The subsequent devaluation of the US dollar was a natural psychological reaction from the investors."

Abstract
This essay will argue the reality of exchange rates in the modern world is much more complex than popular wisdom would suggest. Through a discussion of the history of exchange rates in the postwar era - from the fixed rates established at Bretton Woods to the flexible rates of today - it will be seen that exchange rates are one of the most complex features of modern economics. As the Canadian experience demonstrates, control of the exchange rates is beyond the power of governments to significantly influence in the long term. Indeed, given the complexities of the relationship between exchange rates and market forces, exchange rates are a feature of modern economics that defy easy analysis and prediction.

From the Paper
"The foreign exchange market is the largest market in the world, it is the market "in which individuals, firms, and banks buy and sell for any currency" (Salvatore). Since each country has its own currency, an exchange rate system is needed. An exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. The two types of exchange rate systems used in the world are the fixed rate system and the flexible rate system. Both systems have their pros and cons, and both are used in the world today."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the trade balance and the exchange rate. The writer details the general rule of economics that states a negative trade deficit normally leads to a weaker currency while trade surplus results in enhanced value of currency, although there are exceptions to the rule, which are detailed in this paper. This paper discusses the issue of the U.S. trade balance and its effect on the exchange rate of the country's currency which is currently in the limelight due to the burgeoning U.S. trade deficit and the declining value of the dollar against other major world currencies. The writer of this paper delves into America's economy against that of China's and questions whether the U.S. dollar will retain its status of the reserve currency in the long run. This paper touches on the opinions and views of economists and U.S. treasury officials who contend that the current trade deficit is nothing to be alarmed about as the country's economy and the U.S. dollar survived a similar slide in the late 1980s. This paper also discusses the opinion of the U.S. administration that believes the alleged under-valuation of the Chinese Yen is a prime source for the deficit problems since there is a huge and growing trade imbalance between the U.S. exports and imports to China. The well-researched and well-written paper clearly define the terms: Trade balance, exchange rate and reserve currency.

From the Paper
"The key question is, can the US dollar retain its status of the resrve currency for long? History suggests that it may not. Before the advent of the dollar as the world's reserve currency, the British Pound had enjoyed such a status. Between the two World Wars and the post-World War II period saw the weakeing of the British economy. As a result, the British Pound was devalued by 30% in 1949, effectively ending its run as the world's reserve currency and the start of the dollar's reign. Dollar has been able to retain its status as the reserve currency since it was relatively stable, was backed up by the formidable economy of the US, low interest rates and the absence of an alternative currency."
