Persistence in Law-of-One-Price Deviations: Evidence from Micro-data
(Vanderbilt University, 2002)
We study the dynamics of good-by-good real exchange rates using a micro-panel of 270 goods prices drawn from major cities in 71 countries and 245 goods prices drawn from 13 major U.S. cities. We find half-lives of deviations ...

(Vanderbilt University, 2008)
Volatile and persistent real exchange rates are observed not only in aggregate series but also in the individual good level data. Kehoe and Midrigan (2007) recently showed that, under a standard assumption on nominal price ...
Persistence in Law-of-One-Price Deviations: Evidence from Micro-data

We study the dynamics of good-by-good real exchange rates using a micro-panel of 270 goods prices drawn from major cities in 63 countries and 258 goods prices drawn from 13 major U.S. cities. We find the half-life of ...
Do Sticky Prices Increase Real Exchange Rate Volatility at the Sector Level?
(Vanderbilt University, 2011)
We introduce the real exchange rate volatility curve as a useful device to understand the relationship between price stickiness and the fluctuations in Law of One Price deviations. In the presence of both nominal and real ...
