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,...

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...
