New Study Shows Real Exchange Rates Stable, Impacting Global Economies
The article shows that when testing for purchasing power parity, real exchange rates among OECD and open economies have been stationary since the post-Bretton Woods era. By using new tests that account for cross-sectional dependence, the researchers found strong evidence supporting this conclusion. They also discovered that deviations from purchasing power parity decrease faster for real exchange rates based on wholesale prices compared to consumer prices.
