Applies an error-correction model to demand for money in five African economies: Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritius, Morocco and Tunisia. Attention is given to a set of opportunity cost variables including expected inflation, domestic interest rate, foreign interest rate and expected exchange-rate...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address an econometric procedure which revises and updates the technical production coefficients of latest Turkish input/output (I/O) table, as new information about sectoral productions become available. Design/methodology/approach – Both maximum...

Investigates the doctrine of Relative Purchasing Power Parity. Mixed evidence is found supporting the concept when using a method analogous to that used by Lucas in testing the quantity theory of money. Relative Purchasing Power Parity is not consistently rejected in the long run between Canada...

Discusses a number of issues put forward by the other authors in this volume. In particular considers the potential role of real interest rates in unemployment models, the importance of the trade balance and related constraints in open economy models and the uniqueness and stability of...

Uses a disaggregated model of United Kingdom factor usage to provide estimates of demand and substitution elasticities for energy inputs. Estimates 19 sectors in a two-stage translog model including technical change, non-constant returns and four energy inputs. The results show considerable...

Provides a framework for understanding the relationships between alternative cointegrating estimators with special attention given to single equation procedures. The approach consists of augmenting the long-run model with general short-run dynamic specifications and identifying the specific...

Uses recently developed techniques in the estimation of non-stationary time series to construct money demand functions for four African economies, using quarterly data. Finds that money demand depends not only on income, inflation and interest rates, but also on variability of inflation and...

This article presents a general equilibrium model capable of assessing the impact of foreign price shocks on the real side of the oil-based developing economies. The theoretical model departs from previous work in this area at least in that (1) the model takes into account endogenous income and...
