PPP strikes back : aggregation and the real exchange rate
Imbs, Jean; Mumtaz, Haroon; Ravn, Morten O.; Rey, Hélène - 2003
We show the importance of a dynamic aggregation bias in accounting for the PPP puzzle. We prove that established time series and panel methods substantially exaggerate the persistence of real exchange rates because of heterogeneity in the dynamics of disaggregated relative prices. When...

Imbs, Jean M. - 2006
We show the importance of a dynamic aggregation bias in accounting for the PPP puzzle. We prove that established time-series and panel methods substantially exaggerate the persistence of real exchange rates because of heterogeneity in the dynamics of disaggregated relative prices. When...

PPP Strikes Back : Aggregation and the Real Exchange Rate
Imbs, Jean M.; Mumtaz, Haroon; Ravn, Morten O.; Rey, … - 2005
We show the importance of a dynamic aggregation bias in accounting for the PPP puzzle. We prove that the aggregate real exchange rate is persistent because its components have heterogeneous dynamics, that established time series and panel methods fail to control for. When heterogeneity is taken...

Explaining International Business Cycle Synchronization : Recursive Preferences and the Terms of Trade Channel
Kollmann, Robert - 2017
The business cycles of advanced economies are synchronized. Standard macro models fail to explain that fact. This paper presents a simple model of a two-country, two-traded-good, complete-financial-markets world in which country-specific productivity shocks generate business cycles that are...

Bruno, Valentina - 2018
