We investigate the behavior of long-run U.S./U.K. real exchange rate from 1885 to 1995.

This study measures the proportion of U.S. exchange rate movements that can be accounted for by movements in relative prices of non-traded goods.

Economic agents undertake actions to protect themselves from sort-run impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations: Nominal goods prices are set in consumer' currencies and firms hedge foreign exchange risk. A model is presented here which shows that these features of the economy can lead to...

We investigate the behavior of long-run U.S./U.K. real exchange rate from 1885 to 1995.

Recent tests using long data series find evidence in favor of long-run PPP (by rejecting either the null hypothesis of unit roots in real exchange rates and relative prices.)

We find evidence that the law of one price (LOOP) holds more nearly for country pairs that are within geographic regions that for country pairs that are not.
