OIC Countries' Purchasing Power Parity Holds Strong Despite Economic Crises.
The article examines whether the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) hypothesis holds true in OIC countries. The researchers tested the stability of real exchange rates using different statistical methods. They found that while traditional tests showed unit roots in real exchange rates, a newer test allowing for shifts in trends did not reject the null hypothesis. This suggests that the PPP hypothesis is generally supported in OIC countries, with crises causing long-term trend shifts.
