### Summary and Main Findings
- The paper empirically examines the long-run relationship between real exchange rates and real interest rate differentials over the recent floating exchange rate period, using a panel cointegration method, with data for a set of industrialized countries.
- The paper finds evidence of statistically significant long-run relationships and plausible point estimates.
- The findings contrast with much existing evidence; the paper suggests that the failure of others to establish such relationships may reflect the estimation method they use rather than any inherent deficiency of the fundamentals-based models.
