Long memory in Turkish unemployment rates

Gil-Alaña, Luis A.; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Tansel, Aysıt - 2017

In this paper we have examined the unemployment rate series in Turkey by using long memory models and in particular employing fractionally integrated techniques. Our results suggest that unemployment in Turkey is highly persistent, with orders of integration equal to or higher than 1 in most...
