Recent papers by Charemza and Syczewska (1998) and Carrion, Sansó and Ortuño (2001) focused on the joint use of unit root and stationarity tests. In this paper, the discussion is extended to the case of cointegration. Critical values for testing the joint confirmation hypothesis of no...

This paper presents a likelihood-based panel test of cointegrating rank in heterogeneous panel models based on the mean of the individual rank trace statistics. The existence of the first two moments of the asymptotic distribution of the individual trace statistic is established. Based on this,...

Evidence in favor of the monetary model of exchange rate determination for the South African Rand is, at best, mixed. A co-integrating relationship between the nominal exchange rate and monetary fundamentals forms the basis of the monetary model. With the econometric literature suggesting that...

This paper presents a generalized autoregressive distributed lag (GADL) model for conducting regression estimations that involve mixed-frequency data. As an example, we show that daily asset market information - currency and equity market movements - can produce forecasts of quarterly commodity...

Financial time series analysis has focused on data related to market trading activity. Next to the modeling of the conditional variance of returns within the GARCH family of models, recent attention has been devoted to other variables: First, and foremost, volatility measured on the basis of...

We show that extending the estimation window prior to structural breaks in cointegrated systems can be beneficial for forecasting performance and highlight under which conditions. In doing so, we generalize the Pesaran & Timmermann (2005)’s forecast error decomposition and show that it depends...

The main objective of this study was to find out the impact of Chinese FDI on the economic growth of Bangladesh where yearly time series data is used over a period from 1997 to 2020. To obtain those objectives, this study implies the Johansen Co-integration test and vector error correction model...

The purpose of the study is to put forward the long-term and causality relationship between the BIST Industrial Index and the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the period January 2008-December 2018 in Turkey. First of all,the existence of a long-run relationship between variables has been...

This paper investigates the relationships among the European Monetary Union capital markets taking into account possible structural changes with respect to the harmonization procedure of the International Accounting Standards (IAS). According to many analysts, IAS could possibly contribute to...

With the aid of econometric modeling, I investigate whether rapidly increasing house prices necessarily imply the existence of a bubble that will eventually burst. I consider four alternative econometric methods to construct indicators of housing market imbalances for the US, Finland and Norway....
