Hi,

I have to do some research on the US and CDN$ exchange rate, and am
pressed for time. Would appreciate it if you could write about a page
or so on the topic. Tips awarded!!

Consider the percentage rate in ca$ exchange rate vs. us$. Now
consider the following variables:

(1) inflation rate differential us & ca 
(2) income growth differential measured as a % change between us & ca
(3) change in canada's current account position

talk about these 3 variables, why these 3 would affect the exchange
rate. Also mention other economic variables and how they would have an
effect.

I guess researchers have not tried to answer since although some may
know the answer, it is difficult to look for online articles and
resources to support it according to the variables you listed. Perhaps
you could consider accepting an answer that lists the factors, though
not necessarilly addressing the variables in your question.

Your question is priced appropriately for one that can be answered
with 30 minutes' work.  That's a flattering assumption, but I know it
would take me an hour or two to make a satisfactory response.

Google Answers pricing guidelines:

I had noticed that this question had gone unnoticed for a while. Are
you still interested in an answer, xvcbnm?

Just off the top of my head -
a) Interest rates
 -- indirectly, inflation rate
b) Economic performance (i.e. GDP, GNP, unemployment, potential for
economic growth)
c) National stability (i.e. SARS, Quebec sovereignty)
d) Federal financial health (i.e. debt, budget deficit)
