The objective of this article is to compare the size and power properties of two modifications of the KPSS test of Kwiatkowski <italic>et al</italic>. (1992) proposed by Sul <italic>et al</italic>. (2005) and by Harris <italic>et al</italic>. (2007), using Monte Carlo simulations, in order to decide which version to use in applied research. The...

This article analyses not only the determinants of the height of Spain's male populations between 1859 and 1960 but also the influence that social inequality had upon biological well-being. The height data of 82,039 conscripts constitute the principal source for this analysis. The study area...

This paper analyzes wood consumption in Britain over the period 1850–1938. We calculate the apparent consumption of wood, taking into account both net imports of wood and the home harvest. We then develop some quantitative exercises that correlate wood consumption with GDP, with prices of wood...

This article examines how globalization and industrialization offered the nations of the European periphery opportunities to develop exports in sectors where they enjoyed a comparative advantage. As a case in point, we consider Spanish exports of Mediterranean horticultural products (MHP). Two...

This paper is dedicated to analysing the conditions for weak exogeneity in partially nonstationary models. After adopting a particular identification regime which is based on a triangularization of the parameters of the cointegration relations, we show that the conditions for weak exogeneity...

In this paper the behaviour of various non-nested hypothesis testing procedures are studied, namely the J and JA tests and the same bootstrap-adjusted tests, using graphical methods. These methods are the P value plot, the P value discrepancy plot and the size-power graph. The size and power of...
