The main aim of this study is to analyze stochastic convergence dynamics for selected East Asian and Pacific countries over the period 1960–2010, using a recently introduced unit root test with a Fourier function capable of capturing unknown form for structural breaks. Our test results show...

In this study, we employ a recently introduced unit root test with a Fourier function that is capable of capturing the unknown nature of structural breaks, to reexamine the stationarity properties of energy consumption per capita of 109 countries over the period 1960–2011. The results of the...
