Abstract: | This paper explores the relationship between non-traded goods relative prices and the real exchange rate. The authors apply the Johansen maximum likelihood procedure to two different data sets of traded and non-traded prices. First, the authors develop a model which highlights the importance of non-traded relative price movements in causing deviations in the real exchange rate away from PPP. The authors find a strong association. A rise (fall) in the domestic relative price of non-traded goods is associated with an appreciation (depreciation) in the real exchange rate while the opposite is true for the foreign relative price. |
