A stable and predictable demand for money function is a pre-requisite for the use of targets for monetary aggregates as … themselves in the estimation of such money functions, empirical interest has been renewed over the last decade driven by the … belief that a stable long-run money demand relationship continues to exist. This revival of activity in this area was aided …

We test for the presence of long memory in daily stock returns and their squares using a robust semiparametric procedure. Spurious results can be produced by nonstationarity and aggregation.

Most hypotheses in binary response models are composite. The null hypothesis is usually that one or more slope coefficients are zero. Typically, the sequence of alternatives of interest is one in which the slope coefficients are increasing in absolute value. In this papar, we prove that the...

The optimal minimum distance (OMD) estimator for models of covariance structure is asymptotically efficient but has much worse finite-sample properties than does the equally-weighted minimum distance (EWMD) estimator. This paper shows how the bootstrap can be used to improve the finite-sample...

This paper makes two contributions to the literature on equilibrium search models. We cast the problem of determining the number of productivity types into a search for modes of the wage distribution and we use recent techniques of mode hunting to estimate the number and location of these modes.

This paper re-examines the findings of Alogoskoufis and Smith (1991), who argue that sharp increases in inflation persistence can be attributed to changes in the exchange rate regime. Using long time series data from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Sweden, we suggest that these...
