In this paper we propose a stationary nonlinear dynamic functional coefficient panel data models with fixed effects and develops semiparametric estimation procedure using series approximation. Convergence rate and asymptotic distribution of the proposed series estimators are derived in which...

The policy of inflation targeting is a monetary regime which seeks inflation. His practice was marked by a high stability observed. A debate emerged on the effectiveness and economic performance of this regime. Many searches are interested in this issue without being able to even reach an...

We propose a three-step local polynomial procedure for a multivariate nonparametric regression in which the errors are autocorrelated. The proposed estimator uses all sample points to estimate m(x), the regression function evaluated at point x, but the contributions from all non-local points are...

In this note, we consider the relationship between oil price volatility and firm returns for 560 firms listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Using daily time series data from 2000 to 2008, we find that oil price volatility increases firm returns for the majority of the firms in our sample.

This paper tested the effects of the 2005 vehicle emission-control law issued in Japan on the market linkages between the U.S. and Japanese palladium futures markets. To determine these effects, we applied a cointegration test both with and without break points in the time series and found that...

Using intradistribution dynamics and panel unit root tests, this study considers the economic convergence processes of 53 African countries during the period 1950–2008. The stochastic evidence reveals no global convergence among African countries but provides indications of convergence...

The current paper considers a linear regression framework with two endogenous regressors, but only one instrument that is correlated with both. I demonstrate that under reasonable conditions, some of which are testable from the data, these different sources of endogeneity act in opposing...

Knowledge of dependence pattern in stock market has paramount importance for both theoretical and practical in financial markets. Their usefulness is wide, can be used in portfolio predictability (of portfolio) and risk management. The aim of this paper is to investigate the autoregressive...

This paper compares the goodness-of-fit of two new types of parametric income distribution models (PIDMs), the kappa-generalized (kG) and double-Pareto lognormal (dPLN) distributions, with that of beta-type PIDMs using US and Italian data for the 2000s. A three-parameter model kG tends to...

The simple linear regression model tries to explain the observed values of the dependent variable in terms of those of the explanatory variable. In particular, this note considers the assumption concerning the mean square deviation of the explanatory variable. It is showed that it is not a...
