Purchasing Power Parity Theory and Exchange Rate

No nation is rich enough to rely on free gold standard. All countries across the globe have paper currencies that are not convertible into other valuable things including gold. Hence, nowadays nations have standard paper currencies, which complicate exchange situations. In such cases, the exchange rate(ER)between two currencies can be measured their purchasing powers. The purchasing power parity theory infers that the rate of exchange between two nations depends on their currencies’ relative purchasing power. In essence, the ER between two nations equals the ratio of their price levels. The purchasing power parity, thus, predicts that a decline in an economies domestic purchasing power due to an increase in domestic prices, will lead to a proportional depreciation of the currency in foreign exchange market (Paul, Kimata & Khan 2

0

17).

Conversely,

PPP

holds that an growth in the domestic PP of a currency will result in a proportional currency appreciation. For instance, if a certain good can be purchased for $1 in the

United States

and 60 rupees in

India

, the purchasing power of$1 in the United States equals to purchasing power of 60 rupees in India. If in the United States $1 can buy a collection of goods that cost 80 rupees in India, then the exchange rate will be $1 equals to 80 rupees. This report tests the validity of absolute purchasing power parity and relative purchasing power by comparing the prices of Van shoes and Fanta orange in the United States and India, and the exchange rates between the two countries.

Overview of Purchasing Power Parity Theory

Purchasing power parity theory, at its core, holds that the nominal exchange rate between different currencies is the same as the ratio of aggregate commodity price levels between the two nations. This way, the unit of currency of one nation has the same PP in another nation. Purchasing power parity has a long history, dating back many years ago (Pilbeam 2013). The primary idea behind the theory is that a unit of currency ought to buy the same basket of commodities in country A as the equivalent amount of foreign currency buy in country B. Hence, the one unit of currency across the two economies leads to parity in purchasing power.

The simplest means of determining existence of discrepancy in purchasing power parity is to compare the price of identical commodities from the basket in two different nations. For instance, the Economist newspaper normally compares the prices of MacDonaldBig Mac hamburgers around the globe with the United States dollars at prevailing market exchange rates. By doing so, it is easy to ascertain whether or the currency of country A is overvalued or undervalued against the United States’ currency at prevailing exchange rate. For instance, in July 2019, a Big Mac burger was selling at £3.29 in

United Kingdom

against $5.74 in the United States, implying an exchange rate of 0.57. The variance between the 0.57 and the actual exchange rate of 0.80, demonstrates an undervaluation of the British pound by 28.5 percent (Economist 2019).

Purchasing Power Parity and the Law of One Price

The purchasing power parity holds due to arbitrage of international commodities associated with the law of one price. This law asserts that the price of a globally traded commodity must remain the equivalent anywhere around the world as long as it is measured using a common currency. This is due to the fact that people to earn riskless profits by moving commodities from areas with low prices to areas with very high prices. If a similar commodity enters each economy’s market basket used to compute the aggregate price level, the law of one price infers that a purchasing power parity exchange rate must stay true between the two nations concerned (Lee & Yoon 2013). Proponents of purchasing power parity theory contend that the theory valid in the long run and does not need law of one price.

Even if the law does not hold for each individual good, proponents of the theory posit that prices(P) of goods and ER must not to deviate very much from the relation determined by PPP. When commodities are more expensive in one nation than in other countries the demand for its commodities and currency declines, which decreases both the domestic price and the ER to equate PPP. Conversely, low-priced domestic products lead to appreciation of currency as well as price level inflation. Purchase power parity, therefore, holds that whether or not the law of one price is untrue, the resultant economic factors will ultimately equalize the economy’s purchasing power in different nations (Krugman, Obstfeld, & Melitz 2012).

Critics of law of one price assert that the existence of transaction costs including transportation costs, tariffs and non-tariff barriers, as well as taxes, would invalidate the law of one price. In addition, some commodities are not traded between nations and different countries do not attach similar weights to same commodities in aggregate price indices. Moreover, different economies produce differentiated goods and services rather than substitutable products. Also, given that PPP is anchored on traded commodities, the law of one price can be effectively tested by using producer price indices containing the price of tradable goods instead of consumer price indices (Bahmani-Oskooee & Nasir 2015).

Types of Purchasing Power Parity

Notwithstanding the aforementioned objections, it is always held that the PPP theory of ER holds due to arbitrage with internationally manufactured goods. Commonly, PPP can hold in two ways Absolute Purchasing Power Parity (APPP) and Relative Purchase Parity (RPPP) (Liang 2013). Absolute purchasing power parity remains true when a unit currency’s purchasing power parity remains the same not only in the domestic economy, but also in foreign economy. This can only happen after conversion of the unit currency into the foreign currency at the current market exchange rate. Nonetheless, it is usually challenging to ascertain if the same basket of products can be found in different countries.

Hence, it is important to analyze relative purchasing power parity. Generally, this type of PPP assumes that a percentage change in exchange rate at a given time must balance inflation rate variations between the concerned economies over the same period of time. Generally, if APPP holds, the RPPP must also hold (Zhang & Bian 2015). However, APPP must not necessarily remain true if the RPPP remains true because it is common for nominal exchange rates variances to happen at different purchasing power levels for the two economies (Findreng 2014).

Long Run Exchange Rate

The theory of PPP, together with money demand and supply relationship, can result in a significant theory of the interaction between exchange rates and monetary factors. Since the factors that do not affect money supply and money demand do not impact this theory, this is usually known as the monetary approach to exchange rate. This approach helps in understanding the long run theory of exchange rates (Al-Gasaymeh & Kasem 2016). The monetary model to exchange rates is a long-run theory since it does not accommodate price rigidities. This is particularly important in understanding short run macro-economic developments. On the contrary, the monetary approach to exchange rate continues as though prices can adjust immediately to maintain not only purchasing power parity, but full employment as well (Abbas Ali, Johari & Haji Alias 2014).

To derive the monetary approach to ER predictions for dollar/rupee exchange rate, it is important to have an assumption that in the long-term, foreign market dictates the rate so that PPP holds.

Rupee (dollar/rupee) = Price (USA)/ Price (India)————–(i)

It is assumed that the above equation should hold if in the absence of market rigidities to avoid immediate adjustment of ER and prices to positions that are in congruence with full employment.

In the United States;

P (US) = Money supply in US/Long term aggregate money demand in the United States

While in India;

P (India) = Money supply in India/Long term aggregate money demand in India

The long term aggregate money demand falls with an increase in interest rates but also rises with an increase in real output.

Relationship between Purchasing Power Parity and Ongoing Inflation

Although a permanent rise in a nation’s level of monetary supply leads to an increase in its price levels, it does not pose any long run effects on interest rates and real output. Whereas a conceptual examination of a short run money supply change is important in determining the long run impacts of money, it is an unrealistic description of monetary policies. The reasoning is that constant growth in money supply will need an uninterrupted increase in price level or ongoing inflation. Other factors remaining constant, constant growth of money supply leads to ongoing inflation of price levels. Nonetheless, long-run changes in the rate of consumer price index do not affect the long run relative price of commodities or full employment output level (Saadon & Sussman 2018).

Link between Purchasing Power Parity and Interest Rate

Unlike ongoing inflation, there is a negative relationship between interest rate and long-run monetary supply growth rate. Whereas the long-run rate is independent of absolute monetary supply levels continuous increase in monetary supply affects interest rate (Taylor & Sarno 2004). The interest parity assumes that if people assume the RPPP to be true, the variance between interest rates provided by currency deposits of different countries must balance the difference between expected interest rates(EIR) existing between the two countries.

Strengths and Limitations of Purchasing Power Parity

The primary strength of PPP is that it always remains stable over long duration. The RPPP, in particular, proves ER should equal PPP in the long-run. The outcome can be attributed to a decline in inflation rates between two nations. It also corrects trade imbalances between a country’s imports and exports. There is need to erect trade hindrances which may distort markets. But, economists can easily correct the imbalance by observing the difference between a country’s purchasing power and strength of currency. Readjusting the currency of a country to equate PP can easily resolve the issue without the contribution of the government . Purchasing power parity also explains factors affecting balance of payment. It indicates that trade and payment between economies change due to variations in relative price(RP) levels of concerned economies. Thus, in the long run, ER are hinged on RP and changes in prices.

Nonetheless, conditions relating to prices and tariffs tend to change all the time hindering people’s ability to arrive at a stable conclusion regarding exchange rates. The purchasing power parity can only apply to a static world, but the world is dynamic. This is because, with time, the exchange rate will increase while price level continue decline leading to a situation where exchange rate is greater than price levels. Rose, Marquis and Lu (2012) indicate that internal prices and production costs are always changing. Hence, a new equilibrium between two different currencies changes on daily basis. Differences in two nation’s economic performance, especially in relation to transport and tariffs, can deviate normal exchange rates to certain levels from a currency’s intrinsic purchasing power. The exchange rate of a nation’s currency will rise while its price levels will remain constant if it decides to raise its tariffs. Shapiro (2014) indicates that PPP can only hold in the case of prices of commodities entering into foreign trade. It is illogical to apply the theory for general indices because of the lack of any relationship between domestic and international prices of products confined to domestic markets. The other limitation of the theory is that it does not take into account other balance of payments items instead of merchandise trade. This implies that the theory only works for current account transactions but not for capital account transactions.

Empirical Analysis of Purchasing Power Parity Theory

Overall, the absolute and relative purchasing power parity theories do not effectively explain the relationship between actual exchange rate data and price levels. Relative purchasing power parity, which is always considered a reasonable estimation to exchange rate data well for a given duration. An analysis of figure 1 demonstrates strengths of relative purchasing power parity by plotting the United States dollar against Indian rupee exchange rates, Erupee/$, and the ratio of India’s and the United States price levels, Pindia/Pus, between 2008 and 2018.Price levels are illustrated by indexes reported by both the Indian and the United States governments.

Relative Purchasing Power Parity

Relative purchase power parity predicts that Erupee/$ and the ratio of India’s and United States’ price levels will move proportionately, which is not the case. From 2008 to 2018, the Indian rupee gained significant strength against the United States dollar. In 2018, the exchange rate was

70.83

, which was equal to the purchasing power price. Between January 1, 2008 and July 1, 2015, the United States had higher rate of inflation than India which explains the devaluation of the United States currency against the Indian rupee. Nonetheless, the United States dollar started appreciating against Indian rupee between August 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018, due to a decline in the United States’ rate of inflation relative to India’s rate of inflation. This validates the relative purchasing power parity assertion that exchange rates and price levels in two economies should equal out after a given duration. As the rate of inflation continued to decrease from 1.74 on January 1, 2008 to December 1, 2018, relative purchasing power parity also decreased from 133.68 to 70.83.

Figure 1: the Indian rupee/United States dollar exchange rate and India-U.S price levels
between 2008 and 2018

In the long-run the difference between exchange rate and purchasing power parity declined from negative 94.41 on January 1, 2008 to 0.0 in December 31, 2018 (see figure 2). The deviation can be attributed to the increase in exchange rates as well as the decline in purchasing power parity between the United States and India. The United States/India exchange rate increased from 39.27 to 70.83 from the beginning of 2008 to December 31, 2018. Purchasing power parity, on the other hand, declined from 133.68 to 70.83 over the same time period. Overall, the data validates relative purchasing power parity’s assertion that, in the long-run, exchange rate between two countries must equal purchasing power parity. Even so, the theory can only apply partially even after taking into consideration the long run understanding of both purchasing power parity and exchange rate.

and 2018

Absolute Purchasing Power Parity

To test the effectiveness of APPP theory, there is need to compare international prices of a large number of baskets of commodities by having necessary adjustments for inter-country quality variations between the identified goods and services. These comparisons normally hold that APPP is ineffective. The prices of identical goods, when converted into one currency, tend to vary across different economies. According to Çağlayan and Filiztekin (2012), even the law of one price is ineffective in explaining the relationship between PPP and ER. For instance, manufactured commodities that tend to be the same in different countries normally sell at different prices. Since the assertion that leads to absolute purchase power parity theory is anchored on the law of one price, there is no doubt that PPP is incongruent to the data. To understand the impact of APPP, there is need to compares prices of traded and non-traded commodities in different economies.

Traded Goods

In order to assess the validity of APPP, the local price of Vans men’s Doheny shoes in India, the United States, and the United Kingdom were taken into consideration. This product has been chosen because a trader can export to or import it from one country and still earn some profit. The three countries have been chosen because they have different trade policies, taxation policies, and demand and supply levels. The Vans men’s Doheny shoes costs 2,799 rupees in India,

$54.99

in the United States, and

£35.95

in the United Kingdom (see table 1). When converted to the United States dollars, the product costs $28.17 in the United Kingdom and $39.52 in India. The prices are based on the December 31, 2018 exchange rates between dollar and Indian rupee which stood at 70.833, and the exchange rate between dollar and pound which stood at 1.2763.

The differences in the price of the products, when measured in United States dollars, invalidates the APPP’s assertion that the price of the same good in different economies ought to be equal when measured using a single currency. The difference in the price of Vans men’s Doheny shoes in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States can be attributed to cost of transportation and trade barriers. Regarding transportation cost, American traders must import the product from the other countries making the price of van shoes to cost more than in India and the United Kingdom. Tariffs can also affect the price imports, where the same commodity is cheaper in the India and the United Kingdom than in the United States. These factors sever the association between prices of goods and exchange rates inferred by the law of one price.

Non-Tradables

Just as it is for tradable goods, APPP is irrelevant for nontradable goods. For instance, whereas a two-liter Fanta orange drink costs

$2.27

in the United States, the same product costs

£1.25

in the United Kingdom and 95 rupees in India. When converted to the United States dollar at the December 31, 2018 exchange rates, the product costs $0.98 in the United Kingdom and $1.34 in India. In the real world it costs more to acquire a two liter bottle of Fanta orange drink in the United States than in India and the United Kingdom, which invalidates absolute purchasing power parity’s assertion.

The difference in prices of the same commodity in the three counties can be attributed to such items such as insurance cost, utility costs, as well as labor costs. Generally, the higher the utility cost the higher the cost of production. The same applies to insurance costs and labor costs. These can greater affect the price that producers of Fanta in the three different countries price their products. The price of Fanta costs more in the United States than in India and the United States because of high cost of production.

Factors Behind the Problem with Purchasing Power Parity

There are several factors explaining the negative empirical outcome described above. First, Lee (2010) indicates that contrary to the law of one price assumptions, other factors such as trade barriers and transportation costs exist in trade. These factors may be high enough to hinder trading of goods and services between two countries. Monopolistic practices can also interact with trade tariffs and quotas to weaken the link between prices of similar commodities sold in different economies. Furthermore, since the inflation data reported between India and the United States are based on different baskets of commodities, ER variances cannot offset official inflation measures, even in the absence of trade barriers and tradable products.

Monopolies and Oligopolies

Existence of monopoly and oligopoly, and trade hindrances can weaken linkages between price levels of different countries. An extreme scenario happens when a single organization decides to charge different prices for a given good or services in different markets. This pricing to market mechanism may result in different demand levels in different nations. For instances, economies characterized with inelastic demand tend to charge higher markup prices over a monopolistic seller’s cost of production. Bastos, Ferreira and Arruda (2018) in an analysis of company level export data found strong evidence of pervasive pricing technique to manufacturing trade markets. In the present report, it costs more to buy a Van men’s shoes in the United States than in the United Kingdom and India, when the price of the product is measured using the United States dollar. This could be due to the fact that there are fewer traders of Vans men’s shoes which hinders the cogency of absolute PPP. Shifts in demand as well as market structures can violate relative purchasing power parity.

Price Measurement Levels

Different governments across the world have different measures of price levels. One of the primary reasons for the difference in measures of price levels is that residents of different countries always spend their incomes differently. Ghosh (2018) asserts that people tend to consume higher proportions of domestic products, both tradable goods and non-tradable, than foreign made products.

Consumption Patterns

An average Indian is, therefore, more likely to consume more Indian produced Fanta than her American counterpart while an American resident is more likely to consume American produced Fanta than an Indian. As a result it is likely that the Indian government is likely to have relatively high weight on Indian produced Fanta when constructing a commodity basket for measuring purchasing power.

Price Changes in the Long Run

The aforementioned factors associated with purchasing power parity’s poor empirical test performance can lead to divergence of national prices in the long run, after all prices have adjusted to their clearing levels. But many prices may take time to adjust fully and any PPP departures can be greater in the short run rather than in the long run (AbuDalu & Ahmed 2013). A depreciation of the Indian rupee against the United States, for instance, makes van men’s shoes in the country less costly relative to similar product produced in the United States.

Price Changes in the Short-Run

Short-run departures from PPP tend to disappear over time. Even when such temporary purchasing power parity departures are not taken into consideration, the cumulative impacts of some long run trends tend to cause predictable deviations from purchasing power parity for many economies. Choji and Sek (2017) associate this trend with the positive correlation between levels of prices and real income per capita. This is to say that, a pound, when converted into local currency such as Indian rupee at the current market exchange rate performs better in poor nations than in rich ones.

Conclusion

Purchasing power parity theory, especially the absolute one, holds that exchange rate between different currencies is the same as their price ratios, as measured by reference commodity basket prices. However, assessment of tradable and non-tradable goods invalidates the assertion that similar products ought to cost the same in different economies if measured using a common currency. This is attributed to various factors such as demand and supply, government policies, and transportation cost. Absolute purchasing power parity proposes another version of purchasing power parity theory, the relative purchasing power parity, which asserts that percentage changes in exchange rate is the same as the differences in inflation rates. Overall, relative purchasing power parity theory validates the notion that exchange rate should equal price level after a given period of time. Nonetheless, the theory can hold for only a given duration because with time the exchange rate should be greater than the purchasing power parity.

So the calculation we did before where wrong as we had to choose a base year and we didn’t before so I had to do the calculation all again …

You have to show knowledge and understanding for this part ? for the history behind the numbers ? the graph what they mean ? you have to interpret the graph in a professional way

you have to the calculation ready so use the number in there when u explain .

Say that in this relative ppp im looking at monthly data from 2000-2018 and is monthly data and I will test the theory if hold or not

I chose May 2010 as A BASE YEAR YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED IN 2010 in the economic one thing can be the global crisis . And that’s why I chose is as base year and find other relevant reasons .. and I did the calculation based on that .. my calculation are right so base you explanations on the numbers I have found please.

According to that you have to explain exchange rate and ppp before and after the base period may2010 …equilibrium .. what happened before the base year ?and what make it change after the base year ???

What is the relationship between exchange rate and ppp and how this explain the theory is the real words and data been explained as the theory stated ? yes (.you can say ppp holds because exchange rate converge (move forward)to ppp , even if we have some deviations ) they move In the same direction? the first graph what it shows ?

What happened to the prices of product before and after base year ?be critical

Then u have to explain why I had this deviation numbers and explain the deviation graph ( it can be because comparing developed and developing country >/ ? transportation cost and tariffs..and check all other reasons please we have to focus on explaining the deviation in the graph in details by referring them to the history behind that and critically discuss . talk about the main picks in the deviation graphs and what cause the deviation in what year that happened and why what happened at that time causing deviation ?

For example what happened in 2000 to have a dramatical decrease ,2006,2008, 2009, 2010, 2013 etc you have to focus on the main picks increase or decrease or constant ,?history behind data with references please .

The relationship between the deviation and the exchange rate and PPP?

And check why the deviation is like this ????

Explain in detail the graphs and the history behind that ?

HOW THE RELATIVE ppp explain the 2 graph ?

AND ADD ANY RELAVENT INFORMATIONS TO EXPLAIN THE 2 GRAPH THAT YOU SEE IS NEEDED IN THIS PART …..

And you have to check and change anything you have wrote that referes to the old calculations and change it to the new one and the new results
