We test the hypothesis of nonlinear adjustment towards the purchasing power parity as suggested by Dumas' (1992) model. We estimate a stable exponential smooth transition regression model (ESTAR) for the Swiss franc/German mark exchange rate over the 1960-1998 period, where the adjustment to the...

The paper tests for nonlinearities in the adjustment of the euro exchange rate towards purchasing power parity (PPP …). It presents new survey based evidence consistent with non-linear patterns in euro exchange rate dynamics. Moreover, based … reversion in euro exchange rates increases non-linearly with the magnitude of the PPP deviation. Accordingly, while the euro …

In this paper we present an overview of a number of issues relating to the equilibrium exchange rates of transition economies of the former soviet bloc. In particular, we present a critical overview of the various methods available for calculating equilibrium exchange rates and discuss how...

In this paper we aim to analyze the long-run validity of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) hypothesis for the Romanian exchange rate. Our goal is achieved using Zivot-Andrews test with one structural break in order to identify changes in real exchange rate compared with traditional tests like...

This paper estimates the degree of persistence of 16 long-horizon real exchange rates relative to the US dollar. We use nonparametric operational algorithms by El-Gamal and Ryu (2006) for general nonlinear models based on two statistical notions: the short memory in mean (SMM) and the short...

The application of the law of one price to the international market is purchasing power parity. Purchasing power parity associates the prices of all goods used in foreign trade with the exchange rate. If the purchasing power parity is valid, the changes in the nominal exchange rates balance the...

This paper attempts to empirically verify the Purchasing Power Parity. Particular attention has been paid to the possible reasons behind the deviations of exchange rates from the values implied by the parity and to the theoretical justifi-cation of this phenomenon. Formal empirical verification...
