Abstract: This paper empirically examines the validity of the use of purchasing power parity in theoretical models by testing for long-run equilibrium relationships between exchange rates and consumer price indices. We do not impose a priori restriction upon the cointegration vectors due to the possibility of measurement errors in price indices. With Taiwan exchange rates and price indices, empirical investigation supports PPP as a long-run equilibrium.
