Using data from 11 main manufacturing industries in 17 OECD countries, this paper empirically investigates the determinants of cross-country differences in the persistence of productivity differentials Specifically, we focus on the effects of product market structure and technology diffusion. It...

This article presents a systematic and extensive empirical study on the presence of Markov switching dynamics in three dollar-based exchange rates. A Monte Carlo approach is adopted to circumvent the statistical inference problem inherent to the test of regime-switching behavior. Two data...

A strand of exchange rate models postulate exchange rate fluctuations are driven by saddle-path dynamics and the related overshooting behavior. Using a bivariate system, the paper illustrates the relationship of the cointegration, saddle-path, and stationarity dynamics. Monte Carlo results...
