We explore deviations from short-run purchasing power parity across European cities, attempting to move beyond a "first generation" of papers that document very large border effects. We document two very distinct types of border effects embedded in relative prices. The first is a "real barriers...

This paper considers the effect of exchange rate (ER) level on China’s domestic prices during the period of 2003–2012. We examine China’s consumer price index (CPI), import price index (IPI) and producer price index (PPI) by using time series vector error correction analysis. The main...
