Financial integration and parity reversion in real exchange rates of emerging markets

Author

  • Joseph Kargbo

Abstract

Johansen's cointegration technique was utilized with annual data on exchange rates and GDP deflators to investigate the validity of long-run PPP (power purchasing parity) in emerging markets during the 1955-2005 period. We found support for PPP. Given the globalization of financial markets and their impacts on the macroeconomy, PPP is a useful guide for exchange rate policy reforms.
