摘要
In this note we employ the KPSS test in addition to the ADF test to determine whether the real effective exchange rates in Middle Eastern countries follow a random walk process or they are stationary. While in most cases the KPSS test supported the stationary of the real effective rates, thus the PPP, the ADF test did not. The failure to support the PPP by the ADF test is said to be due to its low power. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
