The aim of this paper is to apply recent advances in the econometrics of non-stationary dynamic panel methods to examine the main long-run determinants of real exchange rate. We consider here a sample of 45 developing countries, divided into three groups according to geographical criteria :...

In this paper we estimate a structural var model for Morocco, Philippines and Uruguay and carry out the conventional inpulse response function analysis and variance decomposition of forecast errors. Our empirical investigations suggest that domestic shocks dominate real exchange rate...

Inflation convergence between the Euro Zone and its CEE partners is investigated using panel data methods that incorporate structural shifts. Strong rejections of the unit root hypothesis are found, and therefore evidence of PPP, in the East-European countries for the 1995:1 to 2000:4 period.

The aim of this paper is to apply recently developed panel cointegration techniques proposed by Pedroni (<i>Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics</i> 61 (1999): Supplement, 653-670; <i>Econometric Theory</i> 20 (2004): 597-625) and generalized by Banerjee and Carrion-i-Silvestre (Working Paper 591,...

The aim of this paper is to apply recently developed panel cointegration techniques proposed by Pedroni (1999, 2004) and generalized by Banerjee and Carrion-i-Silvestre (2006) to examine the robustness of the PPP concept for a sample of 80 developed and developing countries. We find that strong...
