We examine the effect of energy exports and globalization on economic growth using the bias-corrected least square dummy variable model in a panel of five South Caucasus countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Russia and Turkey) over the period of 1990–2009. We provide evidence that higher...

This study examines the non-linear cointegration relationship between real output and KOF indices of globalization (overall index and three main sub-indices) by employing the advanced quantile method. Based on using the annual data of G7 countries, our empirical results provide strong evidence...

This study examines whether mean reversion in REIT prices presents an asymmetric behavior across various quantiles. Distinguished from previous literature that applied the traditional linear unit-root test, a state-of-the-art quantile unit-root test is employed to identify financial asset...

This paper applies the distinct copula model specifications with time-invariant and time-varying dependence structures to investigate whether American depository receipts (ADRs) co-move more with the industry indexes of home country or the U.S. The evidence shows that ADR returns are more...

This paper applies a two-step Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to re-examine the causality between defense burden (MB) and real GDP (RY) for 137 countries. The findings indicate that a short-run causality running from MB to RY is found in lower-middle- and high-income countries and that from...

The United States economy suffers from persistent trade deficits, arising from the so-called 'global external imbalance'. Can the depreciation of the US dollar improve this phenomenon? This study for the first time applies the heterogeneous panel cointegration method to examine the long-run...

This paper analyzes the effect of household wealth (including housing and financial wealth) on housing sales and probes their long-run and short-run dynamic relationships. We further examine the short-run effect of financial wealth on housing sales by employing quantile regressions, restricted...
