In this study, we specify a set of sufficient parity conditions for real interest rates to be equalized internationally, what we call real interest parity (RIP). Using multivariate unit root tests, which have significantly greater power than univariate alternatives, we demonstrate that these...

This article investigates the long-run relationship between prices and wage-adjusted productivity as well as between real wages and average labor productivity at the industry level for a panel of 459 U.S. manufacturing industries over the period 1956–1996. Panel cointegration test results...

In this paper, we show that the data have difficulty distinguishing a stock price decomposition in which expectations of future real dividend growth is a primary determinant of stock price movements from one in which expectations of future excess returns are a primary determinant. The data...

This paper investigates the near unit root behavior of interest rate differentials across countries using a symmetric Band–TAR model that allows for a heteroscedastic error process. We find that the time series properties of monthly short-term interest differentials over the period 1974–2005...
