摘要:
This study applies the Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) model proposed by Caner and Hansen (2001) to test the validity of long-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) of nine East-Asian countries over the period January 1986 to October 2009. The empirical results indicated that PPP holds true for more than half of these nine East-Asian countries under study, and the adjustment towards PPP is found to be nonlinear.
