We study deviations from the Law-of-One-Price using microeconomic data on the retail prices of approximately 220 individual goods and services across 122 cities located in 79 countries over the period from 1990 to 2000.

We use cross sectional data on local currency prices of over 1800 goods across 13 European countries to examine deviations from the law of one price. We find that an average (across goods for a particular country) of ratios of foreign to domestic prices provides a surprisingly accurate...
