We examined whether the combination of uncertainty (lack of work-time control, and negative changes at work) and organizational justice (i.e., justice of decision-making procedures and interpersonal treatment at work) contributes to sickness absence. A total of 7083 male and 24,317 female...

We present a pricing-to-market model, in which the average mark-up depends on the foreign competition. We propose that the exchange rate changes affect the degree of competition and this effect increases exchange rate pass-through to the import prices. We test the implications of our model on 10...

We examine exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) into aggregate import prices for nine OECD countries in view of Taylor's [Taylor, J., (2000). Low Inflation, Pass-through, and the Pricing Power of Firms, European Economic Review 44 (7), 1389–1408] suggestion that the degree of pass-through is...

Price of a dwelling consists of the physical structure together with the value of land upon which the house is build. Similarly, the growth rate of the price of a house is the weighted average of increase in the value of the structure and appreciation of land. The price of the structure is...

In this article, we propose to augment the traditional relationship between real exchange rates and real interest rates (RERI) by adding the stock market equilibrium condition to it. We introduce the relative dividend yield as the new information variable. In the empirical analysis, we use...

In this paper we build an open economy extension of the Gordon (1962) valuation model that suggests a simple forecasting system for three macroeconomic variables; the real growth, inflation and real exchange rate. All the forecasting equations in our system utilize current financial market...

In this paper we analyze the existence of nonlinear relationships between macroeconomic fundamentals and exchange rates for some major industrialized countries using an error correction model with time-varying parameters for the post Bretton Woods period. We find that inflation rate...

There is twofold contribution in this paper. First, by using monthly data for 8 industrialized countries for the period 1973-2011 we find evidence of time-varying cointegration relationship between effective exchange rates and national stock market indices. Second, we show that stock markets...
