Purchasing Power Parity in the Long Run: A Cointegration Approach
用协整分析检验长期购买力平价,发现汇率与批发价格指数比率强协整、与消费者价格指数比率弱协整,且多数情况下拒绝实际汇率随机游走假设。
This paper utilizes cointegration analysis to examine purchasing power parity relationships over a long-time horizon. The results indicate that the exchange rate is cointegrated strongly with the wholesale price index ratio and somewhat weakly with the consumer price index ratio. The cointegrating coefficient between the exchange rate and the price ratio is close to one when cointegration is confirmed. The hypothesis that the real exchange rate follows a random walk is rejected in most cases. Finally, a new test for common trends finds no such common trends in exchange rates or price ratios.
