Since the seminal paper by Dickey and Fuller in 1979, unit-root tests have conditioned the standard approaches to analyse time series with strong serial dependence, the focus being placed in the detection of eventual unit roots in an autorregresive model fitted to the series. In this paper we...

This paper presents of number of cointegration tests that exploit the statistical properties of the records from the original time series variables. We prove their consistency and obtain their asymptotic null distributions. Among the advantages of this novel methodology, the new tests are...

We show that OLS and GLS are asymptotically equivalent in the linear regression model with AR (p) disturbances and a wide range of trending regressors_ and that OLS based statistical inference is still meaningful after proper adjustment of the test statistics.

This paper is concerned with testing the null hypothesis of no cointegration among I(1) variables when the cointegration residuals are I(d) with 0 < d <1. This possibility is entertained with increasing frequency in many applications, (see e.g. Cheung and Lai 1993 Baillie and Bollerslev 1994 Booth and Tse 1995 or Baillie 1996 for examples. We consider the power of various cointegration tests both for the stationary case d < 5 and for the nonstationary case d > 5.

We assume that some consistent estimator of an equilibrium relation between non-stationary fractionally integrated series is used in a first step to compute residuals (or differences thereof). We propose to apply the semiparametric log-periodogram regression to the (differenced) residuals in...

This paper introduce a list of desirable efficiency properties that any a patent system should have in order to enhance innovation, trade competitiveness, employment mobility and economic growth. We briefly overview the literature on patents and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the...

Public aids towards renewable energy sources in Spain have had the consequence of a great increase in their use. This is particularly true for the case of wind generation. For the year 2007, we show that the savings in social costs due to carbon emissions account for a figure between 25% and 78%...
