Answer to Question 1

The failure of these propositions in the real world is related to trade barriers and departures from free competition, factors that can result in pricing to market by exporters. In addition, different definitions of price levels in different countries bedevil attempts to test PPP using the price indexes governments publish. For some products, including many services, international transport costs are so steep that these products become non-tradable (see page 425).
