Does the unemployment invariance hypothesis hold for Canada?
Tansel, Aysıt; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Aksoy, Emre - 2016
This article explores the long-run relationship between unemployment rate and labor force participation rate in Canada …. The cointegration analysis vindicates the existence of a long-run relationship between these two variables. This finding … leads us to doubt the pertinence of the unemployment invariance hypothesis for Canada. This is consistent with the empirical …

Output-employment relationship across sectors : a long- versus short-run perspective
Şahin, Afşin; Tansel, Aysıt; Berument, Hakan - 2013
This paper investigates the nature of the output-employment relationship by using the Turkish quarterly data for the period 1988-2008. Even if we fail to find a long-run relationship between aggregate output and total employment, there are long-run relationships for the aggregate output with...

Modelling volatilities and conditional correlations in futures markets with a multivariate t distribution
Pesaran, Bahram (contributor);  … - 2007
This paper considers a multivariate t version of the Gaussian dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model proposed by Engle (2002), and suggests the use of devolatized returns computed as returns standardized by realized volatilities rather than by GARCH type volatility estimates. The t-DCC...

Identification of the timing-of-events model with multiple competing exit risks from single-spell data
Drepper, Bettina; Effraimidis, Georgios - 2015
This note describes how the (single-spell) identification result of the timing-of-events model by Abbring and Van den Berg (2003b) can be extended to a model that accommodates several competing exit risks. The extended model can be used for example to distinguish between the different effects of...

The last refuge of a scoundrel? : patriotism and tax compliance
Konrad, Kai A.; Qari, Salmai - 2009
We study the effects of patriotism on tax compliance. In particular, we assume that individuals feel a (random draw of) warm glow from honestly paying their taxes. A higher expected warm glow reduces the government's optimal audit probability and yields higher tax compliance. Second, individuals...

Real wages and the cycle : the view from the frequency domain
Hart, Robert A.; Malley, James R.; Woitek, Ulrich - 2001
In the time domain, the observed cyclical behavior of the real wage hides a range of economic influences that give rise to cycles of differing lengths and amplitudes. This may serve to produce a distorted picture of wage cyclicality. Here, we employ frequency domain methods that allow us...

Exploring the causality links between energy and employment in African countries
Arouri, Mohamed; BenYoussef, Adel; M'henni, Hatem; … - 2014
Using a bootstrap panel analysis that allows for cross-country dependence, without requiring the use of pre-tests for a unit root, we study the causality links between energy use and employment for a sample of 16 African countries over the 1991-2010 period (according to availability of...

Energy consumption and health outcomes in Africa
BenYoussef, Adel; Lannes, Laurence; Rault, Christophe; … - 2016
We examine causal links between energy consumption and health indicators (Mortality rate under-5, life expectancy, greenhouse effect, and government expenditure per capita) for a sample of 16 African countries over the period 1971-2010 (according to availability of countries' data). We use the...
