The main aim of this study is to analyze stochastic convergence dynamics for selected East Asian and Pacific countries over the period 1960–2010, using a recently introduced unit root test with a Fourier function capable of capturing unknown form for structural breaks. Our test results show...

Bu calisma, Turk sermaye piyasasinda hisse senedi fiyatlari ile islem hacmi arasindaki nedensellik iliskisini gunluk veriler araciligiyla 1990-2012 donemi icin arastirmaktadir. Literaturdeki onceki calismalardan farkli olarak, pozitif ve negatif soklara verilen tepkilerin farkli olabilecegi ve...

In this study, we analyze the validity of Halloween effect in Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) between January 1990 - December 2010 which implies stock returns are lower during the May-October period versus the November-April period. As well as the Least Squares Method, we use Huber’s M-estimator...

This study investigates the effect of per capita income on per capita health expenditures in Turkey over the period 1975–2007 by using ARDL bounds test approach to the cointegration considering both demand and supply side variables. Since we reject the null hypothesis that there is no...

Turkiye ekonomisi icin kilit sektorleri bulmak amaciyla girdi-cikti analizinin kullanildigi bu calismada, Bulmer-Thomas in onermis oldugu baglanti etkileri kullanilmistir. Elde edilen sonuclara gore; Tarim, Ticaret, Ulasim-Haberlesme ve Kisisel Hizmet sektorleri Turkiye ekonomisi icin kilit...

This paper aims to reexamine the causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth for 20 OECD countries. To that end, we employ a Granger causality test in the frequency domain which allows us to distinguish short (temporary) and long-run (permanent) causality. The empirical...

In this study, we employ a recently introduced unit root test with a Fourier function that is capable of capturing the unknown nature of structural breaks, to reexamine the stationarity properties of energy consumption per capita of 109 countries over the period 1960–2011. The results of the...

This study considers the issue of income convergence among the MENA (Middle East and North African) countries by using real per capita incomes over the period 1950–2006. We employed (Kapetanios et al. 2003) [21] unit root test by incorporating an additive constant and a trend component as...

In this study, we test whether there is income convergence among the regions of Turkey at the NUTS-2 level over the period 1991-2000. We use the random coefficient model for this purpose, which have been developed instead of fixed coefficient models and assumes economical relationships varies...

In this study, we test the linearity of G7 macroeconomic time series over the period 1959Q1-1999Q4. The stationarity properties of this dataset was before tested by Aksoy and Ledesma (2008) employing unit root tests which are based on linear and nonlinear models. Aksoy and Ledesma (2008)...
