摘要
This study apply both linear and nonlinear unit root tests with stationary covariates, proposed by Hansen (1995) and Tsong (2011), respectively, to test the validity of long-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for a sample of BRICS countries (i.e. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) over January 1996 to July 2010. Empirical results from both linear and nonlinear unit root test with different stationary covariates indicate that PPP holds true for all of the BRICS countries. Our results have important policy implications for the BRICS countries under study.
