To identify these two shocks, I exploit the difference in information content in public announcements by the Fed in its statements (released on decision days) and minutes of FOMC meetings (transcripts of the policy decision, released at a later date).

7. 5. Essays on Trade, Growth and Exchange Rates

   Author : Jerker Stefan Göran Lundbäck; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []

Interestingly, the results lend support in favour of PPP in several cases and when PPP is rejected GDP per capita growth rate differences seem to explain the long-run deviations from PPP. READ MORE
