This paper investigates the PPP and UIP conditions by taking into account possible nonlinearities as well as the role … follows. First, the nonlinear specification provides much stronger evidence for the PPP and UIP conditions, the estimated … exchange rate from the PPP- and UIP-implied equilibrium. …
