  Law of one price - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The intuition for this law is that all sellers will flock to the highest prevailing price, and all buyers to the lowest current market price.
In either case moving away from the prevailing price would either leave no takers, or be charity.
The application of the law to financial markets in the example above is obscured by the fact that the market maker's prices are continually moving in liquid markets.

 Hussman Funds - Going for the Gold
In foreign countries, the price of an ounce of gold is measured as FC/ounce of gold (where FC denotes "foreign currency").
When the price of gold is higher than 6 months earlier, the XAU has followed by advancing at a 6.87% annual rate, on average.
While it is tempting to chase prices higher, particularly since gold has been in the doldrums for so long, it is important to impose discipline on that impulse at this point, because not enough factors are in place to expect a strong and predictable continuation.

On the Internal Contradictions of the Law of One Price
The "law of one price" defines a market as the geographic area within which the same thing is sold for the same price at the same time, allowance being made for transportation costs.
For market definition purposes, the law of one price is therefore either useless or wrong, depending on how it is interpreted.

 Foreign Dispatches: Getting the "Law of One Price" Wrong
Matthew Yglesias has been putting up posts on the Law of One Price, in which both he and the great majority of his commenters make very clear that they don't get what this economic principle is really about.
In fact, the Law of One Price says something considerably weaker and far less controversial: that under a free trade regime, commodity prices will converge so that there are no profit opportunities for would be arbitrageurs.
One of the most fundamental laws of economics is the law of one price.

 PPP and the Law of One Price in Inter-War Egypt
This is the essence of the law of one price since abstracting from trade barriers, taxation and transportation costs, prices across markets should be equal (Kindleberger 1989).
Economically speaking, we ask whether intercity price differentials fluctuate around and return to their hypothetical mean level of zero or if they follow a random walk, i.e., meander without a tendency to revert to this long-run mean.
Not surprisingly, price variability is related more strongly to distance in the case of non-perishable commodities, which were stored, transported and traded domestically and internationally.

 Option Pricing Theory and Risk Neutral Valuation
It wasn't until publication of the Black-Scholes (1973) option pricing formula that a theoretically consistent framework for pricing options became available.
Option pricing theory—also called Black-Scholes theory or derivatives pricing theory—traces its roots to Bachelier (1900) who invented Brownian motion to model options on French government bonds.

Virginia Postrel blatantly violates the misinterpreted "law of one price", and tells that differing qualities completely justify intra-personal price divergence:

 Law of two prices: trade costs and relative price variability
Integrated markets should obey the “law of one price” (LOOP), that is, the same good should sell for the same price irrespective of its location.
Even if trade is costly, the prices of a good at different locations will be linked as long as the good is traded.
Finally, the study also finds that when the price of transportation is determined in general equilibrium, the variance of relative prices at different locations is high if (i) the good is costly to transport and (ii) it is produced with different factor intensities than transportation.

 The Law of One Price Over 700 Years
Our data set incorporates transactions prices on 8 commodities: barley, butter, cheese, eggs, oats, peas, silver, wheat as well as pound/shilling nominal exchange rates going back, in some cases, to 1273.
We find that the volatility and persistence of deviations from the law of one price have been remarkably stable over time.
LOP deviations are highly correlated across commodities (especially at annual horizons) and, for most pairwise comparisons in most centuries, at least as volatile as relative prices across different goods within the same country.

The ‘law of one price’ is the proposition that a fungible commodity will seek price uniformity across the entire marketplace.
In the past, labor value was a local commodity and so globally it violated the law of one price.
Because the price of gold relates to purchasing and earnings power, currencies such as the Canadian dollar may not be directly participating in the current gold rally.

 law of one price Definition
An economic rule which states that in an efficient market, a security must have a single price, no matter how that security is created.
For example, if an option can be created using two different sets of underlying securities, then the total price for each would be the same or else an arbitrage opportunity would exist.
Describes some of the terminology necessary to understand mutual fund investments, including open-end, closed-end, net asset value, public offering price, dividends and capital gains distributions, family, share classes, and dual-purpose fund.

Abstract: In this Paper we test empirically the validity of the law of one price using data for five major bilateral US dollar exchange rates and nine goods sectors during the recent floating exchange rate regime since the early 1970s.
Using threshold autoregressive models, we find strong evidence of non-linear mean reversion in deviations from the law of one price with plausible convergence speeds.

 The Law of One Price   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In electronic markets, consumer search costs are primarily a function of the consumer’s mental awareness of different retailers — and this awareness is likely to be concentrated in the hands of a few retailers.
Based on this model of consumer search, IT-enabled markets for commodity goods exhibit high price dispersion in equilibrium and a few well-known retailers are able to cooperate to set high prices.
The predictions of the model are shown to be consistent with empirical data for 23,744 books collected from 24 Internet retailers in late 1999.

Using data gathered from an Internet shopping agent, Pricegrabber.com, a panel of price data was collected weekly over an 11-month period for a group of 26 commodities.
Both price data and shipping costs were reported allowing the incorporation of transportation costs into the analysis.
Various measures of price dispersion were constructed, (for example, the standard deviation of prices), for each of the commodities and the time series behavior of these measures of price dispersion were analyzed.

This paper reexamines the evidence for "border effects" in deviations from the law of one price, using data for consumer prices from Canadian and U.S. cities.
The paper finds evidence of border effects both in the levels of prices and the percentage change in prices.
Even accounting for distance between cities and relative population sizes, it was found that the absolute difference between prices in the U.S. and Canada in the data (annual from 1990 to 2002) is greater than 7 percent.

Abstract: To the surprise of many, price deviations between markets characterized by imperfect competition have often been little affected by lower transport costs.
The intuition is that lower transport costs, by facilitating arbitrage, place a tighter restriction on the maximization problem and a firm is willing to take a greater cost in order to segment.
