Re-examination of the long-run purchasing power parity: further evidence from Turkey

In this article, we re-examine the empirical validity of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory for the Turkish economy.

Our estimation results reveal that the PPP can strongly be supported as a long-run stationary steady-state relationship for the Turkish economy.Purchasing power parity; Co-integration; Turkish economy;
