No E2009/23, Cardiff Economics Working Papers from Cardiff University, Cardiff Business School, Economics Section

Abstract: Arghyrou, Gregoriou and Pourpourides (2009) argue that exchange rate uncertainty causes deviations from the law of one price. We test this hypothesis on aggregate data from the G7-area. We find that exchange rate uncertainty explains to a significant degree deviations from Purchasing Power Parity.
