Abstract

This paper develops a framework for analyzing the impact of exchange rate uncertainty on the Law of One Price. Using the prices of very disaggregated, homogeneous products in a very open economy, Chile, where no institutions exist for hedging exchange risk, it then tests the model in a Bi-variate GARCH in mean context. Little evidence is found that short run exchange rate uncertainty constitutes a barrier to goods arbitrage.
