Purchasing power parity is an important economic concept that presents a useful way of analyzing various currencies by comparing a similar basket of goods. Essentially, the concept of purchasing power parity (PPP) implies that the purchasing power parity will be same for two countries if their currencies fetch the same basket of goods, thereby allowing a measure to assess and compare different currencies. In order to test this concept and presence of purchasing power parity between countries, this essay aims to extend a statistical exercise for assessing the PPP for France and USA for both the long and short run. The data used is a monthly time series for the price indexes for France, US, and the nominal and real exchange rates.

The existing spatial panel structural vector auto-regressive model can effectively capture the time and spatial dynamic dependence of endogenous variables. However, the hypothesis that the common factors have the same effect for all spatial units is unreasonable. Therefore, incorporating time effects, spatial effects, and time-individual effects, this paper develops a more general spatial panel structural vector autoregressive model with interactive effects (ISpSVAR) that can reflect the different effects of common factors on different spatial units. Additionally, based on whether or not the common factors can be observed, this paper proposes procedures to estimate ISpSVAR separately and studies the finite sample properties of estimators by Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed ISpSVAR model and its estimation procedures.
