We propose an alternative approach to examine the nonlinear (asymmetric) behaviour of interest rates which can be both size and sign dependent. Compared to other widely used approaches, our model performs quite well based on two model selection criteria.

This paper presents evidence that the price of oil does not respond contemporaneously to shocks to the US gasoline market. We find no support for the hypothesis of feedback from the US gasoline market to the price of oil, justifying the identification of impulse response functions by applying a...

We reinvestigate the "rockets and feathers" effect between retail gasoline and crude oil prices in a new framework of fractional integration, long-term memory and borderline (non)stationarity. The most frequently used error-correction model is examined in detail and we find that the prices...

This paper investigates the direction of causal relationship between taxes and expenditure in South Africa, using quarterly data for the period 1960:1-2006:2, and annual data for 1960 to 2005. For both frequencies, gross domestic product and government debt are included in the VAR system as...

The purpose of this paper is to give a systematic account of the maximum likelihood inference concerning cointegration … vectors in non-stationary vector value autoregressive time series with Gaussian errors. The hypothesis of r cointegration … vectors is given a simple parametric formulation in terms of cointegration vectors and their weights. We then estimate and …

In this paper we propose a new test for efficiency of spot and forward markets where returns are nonstationary and cointegrated. The test for market efficiency is developed within the framework of a vector error correction (VEC) representation of a bivariate vector autoregression (VAR) model....
