Structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) techniques are used to identify the sources of fluctuations in nominal and real exchange rates of the Greek drachma. The results indicate that, in most cases, supply shocks are the dominant sources of exchange rate volatility.

This paper by using error correction (EC) methodology, along with Chow stability tests, examines whether three cases of policy announcements in Greece, over the 1975-1995 period, have been considered credible or not by the public. Focusing on the Phillips curve trade-off, the empirical findings...

This article analyses the dynamic effects of specific macroeconomic variables, for example housing loan rates, inflation, employment and money supply, on the price of new houses sold in Greece. An error correction vector autoregressive (ECVAR) model is used in modelling the impact of the above...

The paper explores the linkages between labor productivity, innovation and technology spillovers in a panel of manufacturing industries. The roles of R&D, human capital and international trade are considered in stimulating innovation and/or facilitating technology transfer. Using panel-based...

This paper examines whether the efficiency market hypothesis for the Greek sovereign debt holds. As in Blanco et al. (2005) we test the theoretical equivalence of credit default swap (CDS) and spreads that dictates a cointegration relationship between the two. The main innovation of the present...

This study analyses the dynamic effects of specific macroeconomic variables, i.e. housing loan rates, inflation, employment, and money supply, on the price of new houses sold in Greece. An error correction vector autoregressive (ECVAR) model is used in modelling the impact of the above...

This study extends the empirical literature on the determinants of renewable energy consumption in the case of 25 OECD countries for the period 1980-2011. Preliminary analysis suggests the presence of cross-sectional dependence within the panel data. As a result, second-generation panel unit...

In this paper we explore convergence of real per capita output and health expenses across the Indian States. The new panel convergence methodology, developed by Phillips and Sul (Econometrica 75:1771–1855, <CitationRef CitationID="CR44">2007</CitationRef>), is employed. The empirical findings suggest that these States form distinct...</citationref>
