There has been serious suspicion of a spurious rejection of the unit roots in panel studies of PPP due to the failure to control cross-sectional dependence. This article presents evidence of mean-reversion in industrial country real exchange rates in a set up that accounts for cross-sectional...

Learning with bounded memory in stochastic frameworks is incomplete in the sense that the learning dynamics cannot converge to an REE. The properties of the dunamics arising from such rules are studied for models with steady states. If in standard linear models the REE is in a certain sense...
