Signalling, Wage Controls and Monetary Disinflation Policy
Persson, Torsten; van Wijnbergen, Sweder - 2021
Wage and price controls have a long and somewhat disreputable history, presumably because of their frequent use in many countries as short run substitutes for measure~ with more lasting effects on the inflation rate. But, in 1985 and 1986, Argentina, Brazil, and Israel used extensive wage-price...

The Effects of Incomes Policies on the Frequency and Size of Wage Changes
Pencavel, John H. - 2021
Along with house rents, wages have frequently been described as the "stickiest" prices in the economy, rarely adjusted more than once a year. Because of this stickiness (which arises from the transactions costs involved in changing wages), a distinction exists between the adjustment of wages and...

The Macroeconomic Effects of Oil Shocks : Why are the 2000s so Different from the 1970s?
Blanchard, Olivier J. - 2014
We characterize the macroeconomic performance of a set of industrialized economies in the aftermath of the oil price shocks of the 1970s and of the last decade, focusing on the differences across episodes. We examine four different hypotheses for the mild effects on inflation and economic...

Low-Frequency Econometrics
Müller, Ulrich K. - 2015
Many questions in economics involve long-run or trend variation and covariation in time series. Yet, time series of typical lengths contain only limited information about this long-run variation. This paper suggests that long-run sample information can be isolated using a small number of...

Low-Frequency Robust Cointegration Testing
Müller, Ulrich K. - 2009
Standard inference in cointegrating models is fragile because it relies on an assumption of an I(1) model for the common stochastic trends, which may not accurately describe the data's persistence. This paper discusses efficient low-frequency inference about cointegrating vectors that is robust...

Cointegration and Tests of Present Value Models
Campbell, John Y. - 2010
In a model where a variable Y[sub t] is proportional to the present value, with constant discount rate, of expected future values of a variable y[sub t] the quot;spreadquot; S[sub t]= Y[sub t] - [theta sub t] will be stationary for some [theta] whether or not y[sub t]must be differenced to...

Non-Cointegration and Econometric Evaluation of Models of Regional Shift and Share
Brown, Scott J.; Engle, Robert F.; Coulson, N. Edward - 2021
This paper tests for cointegration between regional output of an industry and national output of the same industry. An … equilibrium economic theory is presented to argue for the plausibility of cointegration, however, regional economic forecasting … using the shift and share framework often acts as if cointegration does not exist. Data analysis on broad industrial sectors …

Are Macroeconomic Forecasts Informative? Cointegration Evidence from the Asa-Nber Surveys
Cheung, Yin-Wong; Chinn, Menzie David - 2021
We examine the properties of the ASA-NBER forecasts for several US macroeconomic variables, specifically: (i) are the actual and forecast series integrated of the same order; (ii) are they cointegrated, and; (iii) is the cointegrating vector consistent with long run unitary elasticity of...

Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Cointegrating Regression
Mark, Nelson C.; Ogaki, Masao; Sul, Donggyu - 2021
Multiple cointegrating regressions are frequently encountered in empirical work as, for example, in the analysis of panel data. When the equilibrium errors are correlated across equations, the seemingly unrelated regression estimation strategy can be applied to cointegrating regressions to...
