World Bank Group and the nominal exchange rate came from the IMF. For collecting these data, it is no doubt that the secondary research method was the feasible way in comparison with the primary research. However, there were three limitations of the entire research. The first source of weakness in this study that might affect the measurements of PPP was the data. The paper only considered the CPI as the independent variable and did not take into account other price index, the result of model evaluation therefore may not be accurate and comprehensive. The second shortcoming of the study was the paucity of the sample. Apart from the CPI, the samples of the bilateral nominal exchange rate used in the empirical research were only based on Japanese Yen to Indian Rupee, without thinking about the conditions of other currencies. Thirdly, it is unfortunate that this study employed only the linear model, but did not include the non-linear model. Since the small sample size is unlikely to be tested for non-linear model in the empirical research, which is bound to cause several certain restrictions. In a word, studying the effectiveness of the PPP theory has theoretical significance and practical value, which could be also conductive to interpreting the formation mechanism of the exchange rate. It is therefore suggested that more experimental investigations about PPP should improve the exchange rate determination model in order to better forecast the movements of the exchange rate in…
