Abstract
We propose a triangular PPP analytical framework in this paper, which is theoretically justified and empirically validated. The peg of the RMB to the US dollar causes a triangular PPP effect that the dollar euro exchange rate is not a function of the relative prices in the US and Euroland; instead, it becomes a function of the relative prices in PRC and Euroland. The results are supportive of triangular PPP for the dollar euro exchange rate in a three-economy world of the US, Euroland and PRC.
