Rational bubbles and fractional integration

Kruse, Robinson - 2008

In this article we provide evidence for a rational bubble in S\&P 500 stock prices by applying a test for changing … persistence under fractional integration proposed by Sibbertsen and Kruse (2007). We find strong evidence for stationary long …

On the role of sectoral and national components in the wage bargaining process

Dreger, Christian; Reimers, Hans-Eggert - 2010

This paper provides an empirical analysis on the determination of wages at the sectoral level in main industrial economies. Nominal wages are bargained between labour unions and employers in imperfect competitive markets, where spillovers across sectors might occur. Using a principal component...

Multi-factor Gegenbauer processes and European inflation rates

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Gil-Alana, Luis A. - 2009

In this paper we specify a multi-factor long-memory process that enables us to estimate the fractional differencing parameters at each frequency separately, and adopt this framework to model quarterly prices in three European countries (France, Italy and the UK). The empirical results suggest...

Modelling Ireland's exchange rates: From EMS to EMU

Bond, Derek; Harrison, Michael J.; O'Brien, Edward J. - 2007

This paper attempts to model the nominal and real exchange rate for Ireland, relative to Germany and the UK from 1975 to 2003. It offers an overview of the theory of purchasing power parity (Ppp), focusing particularly on likely sources of nonlinearity. Potential difficulties in placing the...

Toward a theory of evaluating predictive accuracy

Kunst, Robert M.; Jumah, Adusei - 2004

We suggest a theoretical basis for the comparative evaluation of forecasts. Instead of the general assumption that the data is generated from a stochastic model, we classify three stages of prediction experiments: pure non-stochastic prediction of given data, stochastic prediction of given data,...

Uncover Latent PPP by Dynamic Factor Error Correction Model (DF-ECM) Approach: Evidence from Five OECD Countries

Qin, Duo - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 2 (2008) 2008-7, pp. 1-26

This study explores a new modelling approach that bridges the gap between multilateral country-level data and the bilateral-model based, goods-market specific purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis. Under this approach, PPP is embedded in latent common factors, extractable from a large set of...
