Can the Law of One Price be tested?

Philip Kostov

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: A simple stylised model, that incorporates transaction costs, is developed. The Law of One Price (LOP) is assumed to hold with regard to a reference market that is not taken into account in the empirical testing of the Law. It is shown that under these assumptions the empirical tests of the LOP will fail.
