Nonlinear adjustment to purchasing power parity with flexible Fourier function in G-7 countries
This study applied the nonlinear Kapetanios <italic>et al.</italic> (2003) test with a Fourier function (capturing the smooth breaks) to test the validity of long-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for G-7 countries over the period January 1994 to April 2010. The empirical results indicate that PPP holds for all the G-7 countries studied. Our results have important policy implications for the G-7 countries under study.
