This paper estimates aggregate short-run and long-run import demand functions for the Philippines using data for the period 1960-2006. Results indicate that import demand and its determinants are cointegrated in the long run. The import demand with respect to expenditure components is inelastic...

This paper examines the random walk hypothesis in the Visegrad Countries stock market as emerging stock markets. The results both from autocorrelation analysis and unit root tests imply that monthly stock price indices of the Visegrad Countries follow the random walk process. This means that the...

This chapter examines the problems of dealing with trending type data when there is uncertainty over whether or not we really have unit roots in the data. This uncertainty is practical – for many macroeconomic and financial variables theory does not imply a unit root in the data however unit...

There are a number of econometrics tools to deal with the different type of situations in which cointegration can appear: I(1), I(2), seasonal, polynomial, etc. There are also different kinds of Vector Error Correction models related to these situations. We propose a unified theoretical and...

This paper shows that the integrated modified OLS (IM-OLS) estimator developed for cointegrating linear regressions in Vogelsang and Wagner (2014a) can be straightforwardly extended to cointegrating multivariate polynomial regressions. These are regression models that include as explanatory...

In this note we establish the existence of the first two moments of the asymptotic trace statistic, which appears as weak limit of the likelihood ratio statistic for testing the cointe- gration rank in a vector autoregressive model and whose moments may be used to develop panel cointegration...

This paper considers estimation and inference in panel vector autoregressions (PVARs) with fixed effects when the time dimension is finite and the cross-sectional dimension is large. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator based on a transformed likelihood function is proposed and shown to be...
