On Asymmetric Business Cycle Effects on Convergence Rates: Some European Evidence

María-Dolores, Ramón; Sancho, Israel - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2004

In this paper, we provide empirical evidence for some European countries, over the period 1963-2000, on whether business cycle affects convergence process or catching-up. To do so, we first evaluate beta-convergence. We find evidence in favour of this type of convergence for six countries...

The catching up process in Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland is analyzed by investigating the integration properties of log-differences in per-capita GDP versus the EU15 and a Mediterranean country group. We account for structural changes by using unit root tests that allow for two endogenous...

The natural real interest rate and the output gap in the euro area: a joint estimation

Garnier, Julien; Wilhelmsen, Bjørn-Roger - 2005

The notion of a natural real rate of interest, due to Wicksell (1936), is widely used in current central bank research. The idea is that there exists a level at which the real interest rate would be compatible with output being at its potential and stationary inflation. This paper applies the...
