  1. The law of one price states that differing prices of a traded good will tend to equalize in the absence of tariffs, other barriers to trade and prohibitively high shipping rates. The law of one price can also be stated as: "In an efficient market all identical goods must have only one price."

    The purchasing power parity (PPP) theory is based on the law of one price and uses the long-term equilibrium exchange rate of two currencies to equalize their purchasing power. In other words, the PPP hypothesis  is that free trade of goods will align exchange rates with their PPP values.
