We apply Peseran (2007) pairwise approach of convergence to 195 European regions for the period 1980-2002. An index of convergence shows a decline in the average per capita output gap over the period, mainly by convergence between regions of different countries. Next, we estimate the share of...

This paper measures the convergence or divergence of EMU inflation rates and industrial production by testing for the existence of fractional cointegration relations. The notion of fractional cointegration allows for long-term equilibria with a higher degree of persistence than allowed for in...

At the core of the formation of the European Union (EU) in 1993 was the economic goal to create a European Common Market to ensure freer trade and perhaps to create an egalitarian Europe. The post-1993 period saw the biggest enlargement of the EU to date from a meagre 3 member countries...

In this paper we contribute to the literature on determining the real exchange rate by using models that incorporate structural breaks and nonlinearities. We estimate cointegrated dynamic ordinary least squares regressions and quantile regressions. We find that the estimated coefficients for the...

This paper documents new results that the ability of structural breaks to explain away non-stationary long memory in the forward premium weakens considerably with higher-frequency data. For daily data, removing structural breaks does not make non-stationary long memory stationary, contrary to...
