		| Purchasing power parity implies that real exchange rates are stationary.  However, the finding of nonstationary real exchange rates has been difficult to dismiss.  Using a nonlinear, three-regime structural bivariate threshold model, this paper finds evidence of threshold stationary real exchange rates which is consistent with purchasing power parity adjusted for market frictions such as transaction costs. |
