In this paper we investigate Dutch corporate liquidity management in general, and target adjustment behaviour in particular. To this purpose, we use a simple error correction model of corporate liquidity holdings applied to firm-level data for the period 1977-1997. We confirm the existence of...

This paper extends a New Keynesian model to include roles for currency and deposits as competing sources of liquidity services demanded by households. It shows that, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the Barnett critique applies: while a Divisia aggregate of monetary services tracks the...

The paper examines the unconditional sigma and time-series convergence of real GDP per capita (measured in national currencies and euros) for CEE8 countries during the 1995 : Q1 – 2011 : Q1 period by applying the unit root fra-mework using the DF-GLS test and the Lee and Strazicich (2003; 2004)...

The simulation of different macroeconomic policies depending on numerous objectives of national importance is a first order necessity for the Republic of Moldova, given the problems that it has to face in the transition period. Three macroeconomic models are presented and simulated: one of the...

Bu çalışmada enflasyon ve büyümenin GARCH modelleri kullanılarak enflasyon, büyüme ve reel-nominal belirsizlikler arasındaki Granger-nedensellik ilişkileri araştırılmıştır. Türkiye’de 1985:01-2003:11 dönemlerinde yüksek enflasyonun nominal belirsizlikleri artırdığı ve...

This paper investigates time series properties of the tourism revenues in Turkey over the period from 1997:01 through 2010:03. First, we determine the integration order by using different versions of Robinson tests. Second, we test if the tourism revenues show any structural changes over the...

In this study, a bi-variate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticty model is used in order to investigate the Granger causality relationships between output growth, inflation rate and their uncertainties. Our test results show that the existence of Granger-causality is observed...
