The Law Of One Price (referred to as LOOP) is an economic theory which states that the price of identical goods in various markets must be the same after taking into consideration the currency exchange, i.e. when the prices are expressed in the same currency. The law applies mainly to securities traded on financial markets. LOOP forms the basis of the purchasing power parity principle. The assertion, in some cases, would cost exactly the same number. In the standard open-economy model, changes in national savings affect the real exchange rate in the short to medium term. However, if the LOP and absolute PPP hold perfectly, the real exchange rate is fixed by definition (at 1), so it is not affected by changes in domestic real variables like national saving.
