Abstract

In terms of purchasing power parity, the dollar seems a tad undervalued these days, but that does not mean it will soon appreciate. Exchange rates can deviate from their purchasing-power-party levels for long periods. What’s more, the necessary adjustment can come through prices, not exchange rates
