A Quantitative Reassessment of the Purchasing Power Parity

Hypothesis: Evidence from Norway and the United Kingdom

Under the skin of any international economist lies a deep-seated belief in some variant of the PPP theory of the exchange rate.

Dornbusch and Krugman (1976)

I. Introduction

The reemergence of empirical research on the purchasing power parity hypothesis (henceforth PPP) in the 1970's does not seem to have led to any consensus as to its general empirical validity. On the one hand, Gailliot (1970), Myhrman (1976), Officer (1976a, 1980) and Friedman (1980) have presented historical evidence for many countries and over many time periods which supports the basic PPP hypothesis, i.e., that trends in relative price levels between two countries are offset by movements in the exchange rate in the long run. This conclusion stands out most clearly during time periods dominated by monetary disturbances .2/ On the other hand, these findings contrast sharply with the experience of the 1970's where the evidence suggest persistent

divergences of exchange rates from ppp, 2/

Nevertheless, some form of the PPP relationship remains a basic ingredient in many empirical models of exchange rate determination.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse what direction the PPP theory can be amended so that it can be retained as a useful empirical relationship. We focus on amending the simple theoretical version of PPP in a way consistent with Cassel 's original arguments’ and how to empirically test the PPP proposition.

In this study annual data for Norway and the United Kingdon covering more than a century are used to reassess the empirical performance of the PPP theory. Using data over such a long time period provides a firm basis for evaluating the extent to which the simple PPP model is affected by structural changes in the real economy. The choice of Norway, the home country, and the United Kingdom, representing the world ,/ should highlight the problems involved in applying the PPP relationship in models of small, open economies.

This paper is organised as follows. In section II the PPP theory is restated. In section III four different and more complex models - a simple, a real, a monetary and a synthesis - are described. All of these models are used to test PPP. In the section following the general method of empirically implementing these models is discussed, In section V the empirical results are reported. The final section contains

some concluding remarks.

II. Purchasing Power Parity Theory

The PPP hypothesis is stated as (1) E = K « P/P*

where E, P, p* are the exchange rate (domestic currency value of foreign currency), index of domestic prices, index of foreign prices and K a constant (however K may be a function of variables), respectively. There are several distinct theoretical interpretations of the PPP relationship./ We, however, consider the PPP proposition as an equilibrium relationship between the exchange rate and the relative price level, rather than an arbitrage condition. / The basic justification for equation (1) is then to be sought in the principle of long run neutrality of inoney ©! Since our underlying notion of PPP is a long-run equilibrium relationship care is exercised in transforming (1) into an empirically testable form. Three conditions are considered important in testing PPP. They are: (i) symmetry between the domestic and foreign country, (ii) proportionality between relative prices and the exchange rate, (iii) the requirement that K is a constant (but not necessarily unity) or the

exclusiveness condition. In this paper, we focus mainly on the

proportionality and exclusiveness conditions.

III, The Four Different Models

Our view of the PPP doctrine leaves the door open to the influence of real factors on the equilibrium relationship between exchange rates and relative national price levels. That is, in equation

(1) K may be a function of productivity growth and/or other variables

-4-

which alter the relative prices of goods. Furthermore, in the case of monetary disturbances both real and monetary factors may have an important role in explaining short run deviations for PPP. Both of these extensions to the traditional or "naive" version of PPP are described below as well as a synthesis model.

Since over much of the time period we consider the exchange rate is fixed, it is most natural to use the domestic price as the

dependent variable. Equation (1) is rewritten here as (2) P =K «EE .« Pp*

The Simple Version of PPP The simple version of the PPP, dubbed as such because it is

limited to prices and the exchange rate, is stated as follows: (3) p=k+p*+e

where lower case letters denote logarithmic values and bars over the variables are used to denote long-run values of variables defined in (2).

In section IV the econometric specification of (3) is described.

The Real Model (of PPP) The distinction between traded and non-traded goods, toge‘:her

with the existence of differential rates of productivity growth are

reasons often cited for the failure of the PPP hypothesis.

In his empirical specification of the productivity bias

hypothesis Balassa (1964) suggested to test for a positive relationship

between the real exchange rate and per capita GNP which was implied by the theoretical relationship between the relative price of nontraded goods and the level of productivity. In this paper a different measure of real income from Balassa is employed taking into account both productivity growth and changes in international purchasing power of

domestic output. Real income (YD) is defined as (4) YD = Q + Po/Pe

where Q is an index of output per worker, PO is a price index of domestic output and Pe is a price index of domestic expenditure. Using logarithmic values of price indices of domestic goods, Poe of exports, Ps and of imports, PY and assuming balanced trade (8 = B = By) we decompose the price indices used in equation (4) to be:

(5) Pe = BpPy + B7P,

(6) Pq = BpPp + B1P,

Given (6), real income (4) can be rewritten as

B (7) YD y!

Q + (P,/p,

Thus real income growth corresponds to productivity growth plus a

-6-

fraction Brs the foreign trade share of GDP, times the relative change in terms of trade.

In terms of the PPP proposition, K is modified and considered as a function of productivity and terms of trade. The effect of productivity growth and terms-of-trade changes on the real exchange rate via real income growth is a long-run process that is primarily reflected in secular trends. The impact effect of changes in YD are therefore expected to be small, although the long-run effect should be significant. Since price deflators for output are being used rather than price deflators for domestic expenditure in our empirical analysis there is some reason to argue that there is a more direct effect of terms-of-trade changes on the price level in the short run. Consider a sudden increase in the world price of one of the items of which the home country is a large net exporter, like shipping services as in the case of Norway. The dominant impact effect will be an increase in the computed GDP deflator which is proportional to the output share of the exportables in question. Subsequently, however, domestic income and substitution effects as well as a reversal of world market conditions might work towards a gradval restoration of the old relative. price structure 2/

These considerations lead to amending the simple PPP hypothesis (3) to include the effect of productivity, Q, and the terms of trace, B. In logarithmic terms, we then have

. ' * x *

- - kk (8) p=k +p +e+ m4 - 7G «+ Tob - Tob

where it is assumed that all coefficients are positive.

The Monetary Model (of PPP)

We now consider testing PPP theory within a framework that acccunts for differential adjustment speeds of commodity prices and exchange rate along the lines of Dornbusch (1976). The model consists of the simple PPP relationship (like equation (1) but written in logs), a conventional demand for money equation (10), a short run price equation (11) and a demand function for output (12). Letting xv =X - x, a bar

over variables (x) denoting long-run equilibrium values, and assuming

that all coefficients are positivetl/ the model can be written as

(9) @=k+p-

(10) m* = ug + p + wy - ur

(11) p= oy +B + 4, (d* - yy’)

(12) d* = 6, + 8,(e -p) + by" - 6yr + 8,

The variables are all in logarithms (except for interest rates) where m, ys t, d, and f are nominal money stock, real output, interest rate, expenditure on domestic goods, and a fiscal policy measure, respectively. The price equation (11) says that the deviation of actual from long run prices is proportional to excess demand for output, while equation (12) relates the expenditure on domestic goods to the real exchange rate, output, the interest rate and fiscal policy. The simple four-equation

model can be used to determine the four endogenous variables, p’, p’, r*

~8-

and d*. It should be pointed out that our purpose with this model is merely to use it as a framework for testing the PPP doctrine. It is noted that existence of capital controls, capital market imperfections and slow speeds of adjustment might be sufficient reasons for considering the money stock as exogenous in the short run even in a predominantly fixed exchange rate world 2/

The reduced form solution of the model for p*, neglecting all

constant terms, is

purchasing power parity, pe =k' +e, The implication of (13) leads to a model corresponding to (2) in logarithm and enlarged with the other exogenous variables appearing in

(13).

where x = (m,» Ms Yeo Veo fee f,). According to this model monetary and real disturbances as represented by Xe should contribute significantly in explaining short-term movements in p but not its “ong

term level.

The Synthesis Model - Real and Monetary Effects Combined

The last model considered is a synthesis of both the extended PPP relationships, i.e., the real model equation (8) and the "monetary" model given by equations (9) - (12). This leads to a final equation similar to (14) except that the vector x now consists of the variables m,

*

* ms,y,y, f, f

> qs q’, and b and b. According to the theory we would expect that the steady-state value of domestic prices is positively related to q and b and negatively related to q: and b. The theory outlined thus far gives no reason for mand y and their foreign counterparts to affect the long-run value of p beyond the influences already embedded in the equilibrium values of e and p. Our choice of empirical counterparts of theoretical variables y and q, real GDP per capita and per employed worker, however, makes these two variables highly posizively correlated. Therefore, only the y-variables are used in accounting for short-run effects and the q-variables are used to capture the long run structural effects, in accordance with the theory, outlined

above,

IV. Modelling Strategy

In our attempt to assess PPP we suggest a way of transforming (1), an equilibrium relationship, into a testable form. The overall strategy is to (i) transform economic theory into an econometric specification (ii) select a parsimonious representation of the data generating process (iii) test the prior restrictions suggested by theory against the data and (iv) analyse the long-run properties of the final

econometric specification comparing it to the theory it was originally

-10-

derived from. Note that a by product of this procedure is that the results of previous researchers can be explained as well since the general model will encompass these earlier models.

The general specification we propose (step i) takes the form of an Autoregressive Distributed lag model and is referred to as an AD(p, q;) model where p and q, are the length of lag of the dependent and independent variables respectively. The choice of p and q; depends on a priori information and/or data constraints. The model takes the form

where the error term (u, ) is white noise without extractable innovations.

Once the final specification has been chosen (step (iii)), the long-run assumption of purchasing power parity can be analysed from it (Step (iv)). Settinge =

A particular type of model, an error correction mechanism

(ECM), is considered which facilitates testing the proportionality

assumption. The underlying economic concept of the ECM model when applied to PPP is: when PPP does not hold at a particular moment (assuming that the ECM model representation is valid) signifying a situation of "disequilibrium", the exchange rate will adjust to eliminate the discrepancy (error) that exists. What makes the ECM model different from other models is that the steady state solution (e.g., PPP) is incorporated within the model. Furthermore, this restriction is easily testable L2/ |

An example of an ECM type specification is considered in (16). For simplification of exposition we drop the lag terms present in (15) and we assume. symmetry, p* =p - o-

+ + (16) Ae, = a + a Ap, + (1 - B1)(P - ee] + Up

Thus when apy = de, =U, = 0 (16) ensures e = p* +k. The term (p*- e)e] measures the deviations from PPP in the previous period.

The exchange rate adjusts to remove this disequilibrium. If our estimates support the formulation of equation (16) this then implies that the FPP hypothesis is not rejected on the grounds of symmetry or propcrtionality. Note that ty represents the impact or short-run reactions of the exchange rate to changes in relative prices, it is not necessary for PPP that a, = 1 since the solutione = py will occur even

pre-World War I mint parity of 18.16 kroner per pound equal to 109, and the real exchange rate index are plotted ..4/ There is considerable year to year variation in the real exchange rate over the time span considered. Moreover, it exhibits persistent deviations from its mean.

The simple PPP relationship appears to perform poorly in the short run, however its predictive performance is quite impressive over the long run. Over the period of 105 years between 1876 and 1980 the U.K. price level grew by 337.8 per cent and the domestic price level by 289.3 per cent 22/ This differential of 48.5 per cent was offset by an appreciation of the exchange rate by 45.4 per cent, implying a real exchange rate depreciation of only 3.1 per cent.

The empirical counterpart to equation (3) is the genera‘

Table one sets out the results from estimating the simple version of the PPP relationship over one hundred years, 1876 to 1975, using implicit deflators for gross domestic product at market prices and average annual krone-pound exchange rate quoted on the Oslo stock exchange .20/ Regression 1A, equation 17, is the general model with A, B, C, preset at 3. Regressions 1B and IC are restricted versions of 1A.

An F-test, denoted by Les is used to test the joint

-13restrictions of 1B against a.2l/ The seven restrictions are not rejected using this criteria. Using regression Ic we test for the validity of the proportionality assumption crucial to the PPP theory. This restriction is rejected since Ze is 4.71 which exceeds the critical value at the 5% significance lever 28/

The long-run or steady-state relationship that emerges from 1B, : - -* * - . : found by setting P=P,_42P = Pr_i> @ =; for all i is

- -* p =k + .9lp + 52e

This result clearly shows that the proportionality assumption is far fron being consistent with the data, in particular, the coefficient on the exchange rate is well below unity 22220/

A general empirical representation of the real model, equation (8), is given in Table 2, With the exception of the foreign productivity variable, Qe 1 all of the "real" or "structural" variables appear to have a significant influence on the steady state domestic price level. There is also a significant impact effect of terms of trade changes which is in accordance with the theory discussed above. The strong and highly significant effect of contemporaneous productivity growth in the opposite direction of that predicted for the steady-state relationship is, on the other hand, clearly at variance with this version of the Balassa- Samuelson model .22/

As before, a comparision of models 2C and 28 provides a test of

the proportionality assumption of the PPP theory. This hypothesis is now

decisively rejected, which one would suspect from the pattern of

-14-

* estimated coefficients on Pe_p> Peay and e of model 2B. Furthermore,

t-1 the additional factors included in the real model are significant. Accordingly, both the proportionality and the exclusiveness assumptions are rejected. Although the estimation of this model has given some indication that real factors may be of some importance in explaining long-run price behaviour, the model is clearly not satisfactory on the whole. Therefore, we proceed to the evaluation of the PPP theory in light of a monetary model.

The econometric specification of the final monetary model of

PPP (14) is

(18) Ap, = a, +

where x, = (m, > Mm. Yeo Yee Fhe fr) and h and n are coefficient vectors. According to this model short run monetary and real disturbances, AX. are anticipated to explain short run fluctuation of domestic prices, Ap.» but these variables are not anticipated to affect the steady-state values of p. This implies that the vector of coefficients n should be insignificant.

The estimation results are reported in table 3,£2/ Broad

versions of the money stock, on a per capita basis, are used for both

countries. Output is measured by GDP per capita at constant market

-15-

prices. The results show a relatively strong effect of domestic money and foreign income growth. In addition, the steady-state solution of model 3B depends on the output differential, since the coefficients of Yee and Ye are significantly different from zero. Once again the proportionality hypothesis, a = -8 = y, is firmly rejected. The exclusiveness assumption in the long run is also violated which may be indicative of the productivity bias effect which was considered in the rea’ model.

The estimation results of the synthesis model are set out in table 4. In contrast to the previous results, nearly all the pieces of the puzzle now fit together. The coefficient estimates of a, B and y are very close in absolute value, and the proportionality assumption cannot be rejected with a F statistic of .55 (against the critical value of 3.11). The short-run effects of money, income and terms-of-trade changes

are pervasive and in the hypothesised direction, with the exception of * t° related to both components of the relative income level, productivity and

Am Moreover, the long-run price level differential is significantly term-of-trade, in accordance with our interpretation of the Balassa- Samuelson theory. One feature of model 4C that requires some investigation is the significant influence of the levels of the money stock on the steady-state value of the domestic price level, which is

discussed below. 22/ The long-run solution of model 4C is given by

- -* - * * * p=k+p +6 .82q - 1.28q + .54(b-b ) + .15m - .30m

As noted above, the influence of the real factors on the long-run value

-lo-

of the price level is consistent with the theoretical arguments put forward by Balassa (1964) and Samuelson (1964). Thus, although it implies a rejection of the simple version of PPP, it is consistent with a more elaborate version of the PPP doctrine. Since the Balassa/Samuelson argument has been accepted in theory by most writers and the empirical evidence has been somewhat ambiguous, this result may be of some importance,

A theoretical justification is needed for the significant influence of the levels of the money stock on the long-run price level 24/ Two lines of investigation were pursued. First, it was investigated whether the result was due to a misspecification of the demand-for-money equation. Bordo and Jonung (1981) and Klovland (1983) have shown that it might be important to take into account the influence on long-run velocity behavior of structural factors like financial sophistication and the development of a modern banking system. This applies particularly to Norway, where the velocity of money fell from 3.3 ' in 1870 to slightly above 1 in the interwar years 22/ When the variable, a three year moving average of the deposit-currency ratio, was included in the model, the main results were, however, left essentially unchanged .20/ The new variable did not contribute significantly to the explanatory power and the influence of m and n did not vanish.

Secondly, it was investigated whether the effect of real factors on the relative price of non-traded goods was due to disturbances of monetary origin; an argument first described by Niehans (1981). The underlying idea is that<// "the larger the imports which can be financed

by the net receipts from foreign assets, the larger is the fraction of

resources allocated to the production of non-traded goods and the higher

-17-

is cheir relative price". Thus, in the case where the international reserve component of the monetary base is a major source of money creation purchases of foreign exchange by the central bank may, at least in the short run, add to the money stock. If the hypothesis put forth by Niefians is valid, money creation through foreign-exchange purchases is consistent with an appreciation of the real exchange rate. If it is assumed that the course of the money stock reflects movements in foreign asset holdings, this argument is also consistent with a positive coefficient on the money stock differential, mm in equation (17).

There are several reasons why one would be inclined not to attach too much confidence in this explanation, however. The correlation between foreign exchange reserves and the money stock may be rather weak because it depends on the degree of sterilization and other policy measires taken by domestic monetary authorities. Moreover, it is not actually official foreign exchange holdings but rather the international purchasing power of the return from the total of foreign interestingbearing assets held by all domestic sectors that affects the relative price of non-traded goods in the model analyzed by Niehans (1981).

This suggests that a more direct test of the Niehans argument could be provided by testing the influence of the flow of coupon payments on foreign assets within our model. Assuming for simplicity that all foreign assets and liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars, such a variable was constructed by deflating the domestic currency value of net property income from abroad by the implicit price deflator for the United States GNP and converting it to U.S. dollars at the annual average of the

exchange rate of the domestic currency against dollars. The

-18-

(preliminary) results obtained with this variable were negative, however. The coefficient estimates were not significantly different from zero, while both money stock variables retained their significance. While the data quality of the foreign asset returns is known to be poor, at least for Norway in the first half of the sample, our preliminary investigations do not give much support to the empirical significance of

the Niehans argument in this case.

V. Conclusion

The main conclusion that follows from our quantitative reassessment of the PPP doctrine is that a simple version of the PPP relationship, comprising only the exchange rate and relative price levels, does not adequately represent the data generation process. Two sets of factors were found to be important in amending the simple model which embodied the theoretically appealing proportionality proposition between the exchange rate and relative price levels. One set of factors originates from the effect of real income growth on the relative price of non-traded goods, well known from the articles by Balassa (1964) arid Samuelson (1964), but not always found to be significant in empirical work on PPP. The other extension that seems to be fruitful is the explicit modelling of other real and monetary factors that affect the dynamic adjustment to long-run equilibrium. Although these amendments to the simple PPP model may go some way in improving the empirical performance of PPP models, our investigations have also shown that even

the extended version of the PPP relationship has its shortcomings.

*The first author is an economist in the International Finance Division of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the second author is an associate professor at the Norwegian School of Economic and Business Administration, Bergen Norway. Work on this project was done by the first author while employed at the Centre for Applied Research at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration. We would like to thank Victor D. Norman for his helpful comments. This paper represents the views of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the views of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,

1. An outstanding example of this is provided by Frenkel (1976) in his study covering the German hyperinflation. Frenkel (1978) presents further evidence that PPP theory works well in non-hyperinflationery countries during the 1920's. It has been shown, however, that the strict version of PPP does not hold during this time by Krugman (1978) and Edison (198la), Tryon (1978).

2. See for example Genberg (1978), Dornbusch (1978), Frenkel (1981), Branson (1981) and Desai (1981).

3. Obvious examples are the monetary approach to balance of payments and to the exchange rate.

4. In Edison (1981) Chapter One there is a review of the development of PPP. Cassel (1922) outlined in his Chapter "Deviations from PPP" factors that we associate with k.

5. Over the past century as a whole the United Kingdom has unambiguously been Norway's most important single trading partner, although with a diminishing relative share in the past twenty years.

6. Extensive reviews of the PPP theory from a doctrinal perspective are given by Officer (1976a), Frenkel (1978) and Katseli-Papaefstratiou (1979).

7. This is consistent with all of Cassel's writings.

8. This view is clearly stated in Samuelson (1974, p. 602): “What Gustav Cassel, and Ricardo before him, had in mind in connection with the doctrine of purchasing power parity was something more than the above trivial doctrine of arbitrage among near-transport-free staple commodities. In any case, what they should have had primarily in mind was the homogeneity fact lying at the root of the classical Quantity Theory of Money: namely that a scale change in the nominal prices...would ultimately have no substantive effects on any of the real magnitudes...in a classical determinate system".

9. This argument has been discussed by many writers, including Keynes (1930), but was more fully developed by Balassa (1964) and Samuelson (1964) and recently referred to by Officer (1976b) and Hsieh (1982).

-F2-

Balassa assumed that prices of traded goods were equalised across countries but that this did not apply to prices of non-traded goods. On the further assumptions of wages in the traded goods sector being linked to productivity and of an equilisation of wages across all industries within a country the price of nontraded relative to traded goods increases more over time in a country with high productivity growth than in a country with low productivity growth. Thus when using general price indices which cover both traded and non traded goods, like the GDP deflator, a productivity bias emerges in PPP comparisons, showing a real excharige rate appreciation for fast growing countries.

10. Between 1913 and 1916 Norway's terms of trade improved by 48 per cent, following a rise in the export price index to 296 (1913 = 100) and a rise in the import price index to 199. A major contributing factor to the rise in export prices was the huge increase in shipping freights, which increased by 390 per cent. By contrast, price indexes of domestic goods, Py, rose only by 25 per cent to 125, which resulted in an output price index, P,, of 188 in 1916. Since the UK price index was 129 and the exchange rdte appreciated 8 per cent this led to a sharp real excharige rate appreciation of 37 per cent over these three years. As an empirical matter it appears to be important to allow for such large terms-of-trade changes in the empirical PPP relationship. Note again that this argument crucially depends on our use of an output price deflator as the empirical price measure.

11. If the demand for domestic goods depends positively on both domestic and foreign output, the sign of 55 may be ambiguous.

12. Alternatively, we might have split the money stock into an endogenous foreign source component and an exogenous domestic source comporient and otherwise made the model more similar to, for example, the pegged! exchange rate model analyzed by Black (1981). This line was not pursued, partly because of data limitations and partly because of the desire to keep the model simple. A further extension might be to allow for short run adjustments in output in response to changes in aggregate demanc| along the lines analysed by Dornbusch (1976).

13. In Davidson, et. al. (1978) there is a discussion of ECM models and their properties.

14. Figure 1 may serve as a background for a brief discussion of the history of exchange rate regimes in Norway, which also has implications for which variable is selected as the dependent variable in the regressions. There have been long time periods where the exchange rate between Norway and the UK have been fixed. In particular, during the gold standard, 1873 to 1914, the exchange rate never deviated more than one per cent from mint parity. From the outbreak of World War I to the restoration of the gold standard in May 1928 the exchange rate fluctuated widely. From the final collapse of the gold exchange standard in September 1931 the Norwegian kroner was pegged to the pound sterling or U.S. collar for forty years with significant adjustments occuring in 1940, 1945 and 1967. Since 1971 the kroner-pound rate has been highly variable partly due to Norway's participation in the snake or currency basket and partly due to the general state of floating exchange rates.

-F3-

15. Computed on a continuous time basis, i.e., as logarithmic first differences.

16. For Norway, an implicit deflator for GDP at market prices is used since it was the only one available. The use of price deflators for GDP at factor costs might be preferable in the simple PPP model, however, preliminary analysis of the effects of indirect taxes less subsidies showed little influence of this variable.

17. In the process of going from the general model 1A to the more restricted model 1B each individual restriction is tested separataly, adjusting the significance level so as not to alter the power of the overall joint test.

18. The various models were also estimated by instrumental variable methods, but the coefficient estimates were little affected, so that only the ordinary least squares estimates are reported here.

19, The direct OLS estimates of the simple static model is Py = const + .999p, + .237e,. Not surprisingly, however, the Durbin-Watson statistic is 0.17 and 23{4) = 88.4 indicating that there is a high degree of serial correlation and some type of misspecification.

20. Proponents of the PPP doctrine might argue that our 100 year sample covering two world wars, subperiods of price controls, and restrictions on trade and payments not to mention different exchange rate regines has too many structural changes to provide a testing ground for PPP. Our main purpose in this paper however, is to model structural factors explicitly rather than attempt to make the PPP relationship well. However, we did test PPP using the simple model over the gold standard era, 1876 to 1913. Since the exchange rate was virtually fixed over this period equation (3) reduced to f = k +f. The results showed that the proportionality assumption could not be rejected by the data during this subperiod. There was some evidence using a Chow Test of parameter instability so the evidence is not unambiguous.

21. Models 2A - 2C were also estimated by instrumental variables, treating Ae, and Ab; as endogenous variables. Additional instruments were one period lagged growth rates of money, income, interest rate and terms of trade in both countries. Again the qualitative results were the same as OLS estimates.

22. The fiscal policy variables, empirically represented hy central government surplus as a percentage of GDP, did not contribute significantly to the explanatory power in some preliminary regressions, and were consequently omitted from the regressjons repgrted here. Thus Xz refers to thhe set of variables x4 = (Mes Mes Yts Ye)

23. Another disturbing feature of model 4C is the breakdown in the model's predictive ability beyond the estimation conveyed hy the high values of Z, and Z;-. The source of the collapse in predictive ability is a sizeable underprediction of the domestic inflator in years 1976-1978.

-F4-

This is a period of excessive exchange rate volatility for the pound sterling as described in Hacche and Townend (1981). We attach some but not too much importance to this finding.

24. A similar result was obtained by Edison (198lb) in testing the PPP relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States over the period 1890-1972 within a monetary model of the exchange gate. The , final equation emerging from that study was @ =k +pP-f6 - .30(m-—m ), which is quite similar to (17) above, apart from the real factors.

25. The United Kingdom was already relatively financially sophisticated at the beginning of the gold standard era, which may be a major explanatory factor of the relative constancy of the velocity of money

in the UK over the same period.

26. This is the same variable used in Klovland (1983) to pick up the effects of structural change in the long-run demand for money.

Jan Tore Klovland

1. General notes and sources

(a) Norway

The primary sources of data are the various National Accounts (NA) issues published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) of Norway. Data for all years, except 1940-1945, are derived from the following NA sources: NA 1865-1960, NA 1900-1929, NA 1949-1962 (revised version), NA 1962-1978, NA 1969-1980 and S@S 16 (Trends in Norwegian Economy 1865-1960, Central Bureau of Statistics, 0s10, 1966). Data compiled according to new System of National Accounts are available beginning 1949; data prior to 1949 are spliced with the new series by means of the simple ratio method, i.e., by multiplying the old series by the ratio of new figures to old figures in 1949. Other sources of data than the ones referred to above are listed explictly.

(b) United Kingdom

The national accounts data up to about 1948 are taken from C.H. Feinstein, National Income, Expenditure and Output of the United Kingdom 1855-1965, Cambridge, 1972, and spliced with the corresponding series of Economic Trends, Annual Supplement 1982, which cover most of the post- World War II period. These sources are referred to as Feinstein (table, column). Whenever there is a break in the level of the series, for example because of the inclusion of Southern Ireland in the data prior to 1920, the two series are spliced by the simple ratio method.

2. Notes and sources to data listed in table Al, by column

1) ~P(NOR) = implicit deflator for gross domestic product at market prices, 1913 = 100. From the NA sources listed above. Figures for 1940 to 1945 were interpolated by means of the cost-of-living index and the wholesale price index, each with weight one-half, taken from NOS Historical Statistics 1948. —_

-A2-

(3) E(NOM) = nominal exchange rate, NOK per GBP

187C-1872: Mint parity, 18.15952, assumed. 1873-1877: Averages of buying and selling rates of sterling as quoted by Norges Bank, published in the Annual Reports of the Board of Directors of Norges Bank. 1878- 1980: annual averages of quotations at the Oslo Stock Exchange, published in various issues of Statistical Yearbook of Norway for the years up to 1913, thereafter the figures are taken from Historical Statistics 1948 and 1978 and from Penger og Kreditt.

(4) E(REAL) = real exchange rate, NOK against GBP Computed as *P(UK)/P(N on the basis of data listed in cols. (1)

to (3).

(5) M(NOR) = money stock per capita The money stock consists of currency, demand deposits and time deposits

(including savings deposits) at commercial banks, savings banks, the Postal Savings Bank and the Postal Giro System held by the non-bank public. Blocked deposits and deposits in foreign currency are excluded. Annual averages of end-of-month data; prior to 1919 primary sources of deposit figures are on a quarterly or annual basis. Further details are given in J.T. Klovland, Quantitative Studies in the Monetary History of Norway, part I and Appendix A, mimeo Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, 1979. The series is converted to per capita figures by division by an index of total mid-year population, 1913 = 100, complied from various issues of Historical Statistics and Statistical Yearbook.

(6) M(UK) = money stock per capita 1870-1897: Mo series in Michae - Bordo, The U.K. Money Supply. 1870-

1914, in Research in Economic History, vol. 6, plus an estimate of private deposits at Bank of England, from David K. Sheppard, The growth and role of U.K. financial institutions 1880-1962, London, 1971, tabTe A3.3, col. 3 (figures for 1870-1879 assumed to be equal to the 1880 figure). 1898-1965: net money supply series from Sheppard, op. cit., table A3.3, col. 6. 1966-1980: M3, unadjusted figures from various issues of Financial Statistics.

Annual averages of the end-of-year figures compiled from these sources, after adjusting for the level shift in 1920, were then divided by an index of mid-year home population, 1913 = 100, derived from Feinstein (55.1) for the years up to 1950, thereafter from Annual Abstracts of Statistics, 1982. The population data 1940-1950 are net of armed forces abroad, which were interpolated along a straight line between 1939 and 1950.

(7) Y(NOR) = per capita gross domestic product at constant market prices

Gross domestic product at constant (1975) market prices, divided by the index of total mid-year population as in col. 5. Estimates of nominal GDP for 1940 to 1944 were based on data in 0. Aukrust and P.J. Bjerve, Hva krigen kostet Norge, Oslo, 1945; the estimate for 1945 is taken from SPS 12, The Norwegian post-war economy, Oslo, 1965, Pp. 304. These estimates for the years TOSU-T94S,-wnech are likely to be subject to substantial errors, were than deflated by the price index described in col. 2 and chained with the official national accounts series.

(9) Q(NOR) = index of output per worker, 1913 = 100

Real GDP, as in col. 7, divided by estimates of total employment. The figures for 1940-1945 are set equal to the 1939 figure since no estimates are available. Estimates of employment are derived as follows: 1870- 1899: Data on total labour force for every fifth year from SPS 16, interpolated by means of annual figures on population of working age (18- 64 years) from NOS Folkemengdens bevegelse 1911-1920. 1900-1929: Estimates of total employment in man-years from Aukrust and J. Bjerke, Real capital and economic growth, ART 4, Central Bureau of Statistics, 1958. 1930-1939 and 1946-1980: Employment in full-time equivalent man-

years from NOS National Accounts.

(10) Q(UK) = index of output per worker, 1913 = 100 Output per worker as calculated in Feinstein (20.5) up to 1960; thereafter output per person employed from Economic Trends, 1982.

(11) B(NOR) = terms of trade, 1913 = 100

Ratio of implicit deflator for total exports to implicit deflator for total imports from NOS National Accounts. Figures for 1940-1945 were derived from export and import price indexes given in NOS Economic Surveys.

(12) B(UK) = terms of trade, 1913 = 100

1870-1965: Ratio of implicit deflator for exports of goods and services, Feinstein (61, 4), to implicit deflator for imports of goods and services, Feinstein (61,6); thereafter corresponding series from Economic Trends 1982. —

(13) R(NOR) = long-term bond yield

Yield to average life 5 years or more) on long-term state bank bonds (Kongeriget Norges Hypotebank) 1870-1946 and on government bonds 1947- 1980. A detailed account of the construction of the series is given in J.T. Klovland, Quantitative Studies in the Monetary History of Norway, part II and Appendix B, mimeo, Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, 1980.
