Empirical support for the long-run Fisher effect, a hypothesis that a permanent change in inflation leads to an equal change in the nominal interest rate, has been hard to come by. This paper provides a plausible explanation of why past studies have been unable to find support for the long-run...

In this paper we use a bivariate, fractionally integrated, autoregressive, moving average model of money and real output to extend Fisher and Seater (1993) long-run neutrality requirements to long-memory processes. We derive new restrictions on the order of the nominal and real variable and...

We rank institutions and researchers based on a standardized page count of their econometric theory publications over the last eleven years (1986-1996) in nine economics and statistics journals. Our ranking criteria differ from those employed by Hall (1987, 1990) and Baltagi (1998). We weight...

By design a wavelet's strength rests in its ability to simultaneously localize a process in time-scale space. The wavelet's ability to localize a time series in time-scale space directly leads to the computational efficiency of the wavelet representation of a N X N matrix operator by allowing...

In this paper we apply wavelet analysis to the class of fractionally integrated processes to show that this class is a member of the $1/f$ family of processes as defined by Wornell (1993) and to produce an alternative method of estimating the fractional differencing parameter. Currently the...

This paper develops a consistent OLS estimate of a fractionally integrated processes' differencing parameter, using continuous wavelet theory as constructed from smoothing kernels. We show that a log-log linear relationship exists between the variance of the wavelet coefficient and the level at...
