The paper introduces the appropriate within estimators for the most frequently used three-dimensional fixed effects panel data models. It analyzes the behavior of these estimators in the cases of no self-flow data, unbalanced data, and dynamic autoregressive models. The main results are then...

This paper extends the FIGARCH long-memory volatility model to a multivariate framework. The proposed quasi maximum likelihood estimator for the parameters of the model is analyzed through Monte Carlo simulations and is found to perform satisfactorily. A trivariate specification is applied for...

The aim of this paper is to study the potentially simultaneous relationship between income inequality and growth volatility for seventy countries between 1960 and 2002. Two types of analysis are performed; a cross-sectional analysis based on country averages of all available annual observations,...

This paper investigates the possibility of Granger causality between the logarithms of real exports and real GDP in twenty-five OECD countries, between 1960 and 1998. Two complementary testing strategies are applied. First, depending on the time series properties of the data, causality is tested...

Using several different unit root/stationarity tests on single time series Konya (2000) found the logarithm of real GDP of most OECD countries behaving as a random walk during the last four decades. This outcome, however, might be due to the generally low power of these tests. The aim of this...
