How wide is the border?
Article Abstract:
The international failure of the law of one price is investigated. Consumer price index data from US and Canadian cities for 14 consumer price categories are analyzed. Results show that distance and the border are key factors in explaining price dispersion across locations. The impact of border relative to distance is found to be highly significant. A major part of the border effect is attributed to nominal price stickiness, although the effect remains largely unexplained.
