Hello John,
Regarding PPP, how can we keep the price relatively the same when we have different rate of inflation of both countries. In illustration 1, rates of inflation is 2% in the UK and 4% is US, I did watched the lectures but still unable to understand how do we maintain the same price.
Thanks
