As base currencies we use alternatively the Deutsche mark, the Japanese yen, and the US dollar. We employ error correction models for single countries and on the level of pooled equations allowing eecient inference on domestic and foreign price elasticities of nominal exchange r...

Additional remarks are made on the roots of lineation as a metric...
