An alternative test of purchasing power parity
Abstract
The long-horizon approach of Fisher and Seater (1993) is applied to the data developed by Taylor (2002) to test for purchasing power parity (PPP). Even after accounting for the low power of the test, the evidence is generally supportive of PPP.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)
