Abstract: International restaurant franchise price data are used to examine purchasing power parity and the behavior of the Mexican peso. Sample data are from El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. A battery of statistical tests indicate that the price ratio and the exchange rate are statistically different from each other, but correlated.
