This study tests the purchasing power parity hypothesis for four South Asian economies and China by employing a recent nonlinear test of stationarity. Besides testing the CPI based PPP, we have also used PPI based real exchange rate in the analysis. The results indicate that nonlinear tests are...

We develop a structural econometric model of import demand for Pakistan, with binding foreign exchange constraint. ARDL and DOLS techniques are used to estimate the log-run coefficients of price and income elasticities. The empirical results from ARDL bound testing approach and Johansen’s...
