Are the CPI and WPI appropriate measures to use for testing the PPP hypotheses?

Article Abstract:

A new measure of traded and non-traded goods price movement provides positive results to purchasing power parity hypotheses. The empirical tests conducted to compare it with the commonly used measures: wholesale price and consumer price indexes, reveal the new measure's efficacy over WPI and CPI. Likewise, stationary tests reveal no significant relation of the new measure with either WPI or CPI. In addition, their differences do not affect the stationarity of the different specifications of the real exchange rate.

An empirical examination of the long run monetary (exchange rate) model

Article Abstract:

Empirical studies conducted during the 1970s and 1980s dismissed the credibility of the monetary model for forecasting exchange rate. A multivariate cointegration analysis is employed to reexamine the soundness of the monetary model for determining exchange rates over the long run. The Canadian - US dollar exchange rate was used as the reference currency. Results provided support for the validity of the model.
