This paper uses fractional integration and cointegration in order to model the DM/dollar and the yen/dollar real exchange rates in terms of both monetary and real factors, more specifically real interest rate and labour productivity differentials. We find that whilst the individual series may be...

In this paper we use a general procedure to detect structural breaks at unknown points in time which allows for different orders of integration and deterministic components in each subsample (see Gil-Alana, 2006). First, we extend it to the non-linear case, and show by means of Monte Carlo...

In this paper we examine aggregate money demand relationships in five industrial countries using a two-step strategy for testing the null hypothesis of no cointegration against alternatives that are fractionally cointegrated. Fractional cointegration would imply that, although there exists a...
