The purpose of this paper is to examine all the kinds of temporal uncertainties that AGOA creates on the eligible countries and the theoretical relationship between these temporal uncertainties and its efficiency. The paper attempts to answer the critical question: does temporal uncertainty of...

The objective of this research is to examine empirically the relationship between the current account balance and the real exchange rate for economies with different levels of development. We use data from the annual time series of the period 1980-2015 from the Development Indicators (2017) of...

This paper tests empirically the Balassa-Samuelson (BS) hypothesis using annual data for Australia. We applied the ARDL cointegration technique developed by Pesaran et al. (2001) and found evidence of a significant long-run relationship between real exchange rate and Australia-US productivity...

The derivation of the Balassa-Samuelson effect allows for different empirical specifications that may have important economic implications. Problems related to spurious regression could arise from the mixed order of integration of the series used and from the lack of a long run stable...

Este artigo verifica o cumprimento da Lei do Preço Único (LPU) em mercados separados espacialmente, utilizando o enfoque de co-integração. Foram considerados os preços das cestas básicas nas quatro capitais da região Sudeste do Brasil. O teste de raiz unitária mostra que estas são...

We construct an aggregate data panel to estimate price and income elasticities of the Arab countries imports from and exports to euro zone. We study the non-stationarity of our series and verify the cointegration hypothesis among the variables using Pedroni's heterogeneous panel cointegration...

The paper basically aims to clarify the level of price competitiveness of the Turkish firms towards the EU Single Market in aggregate level. Thus it naturally examines the demand for exports and imports for Turkey in relation to the EU. In order to model the trade between Turkey and the EU, we...

This study attempts to investigate the evidence of twin deficits hypothesis, that is, the simultaneous existence of fiscal and foreign trade account deficits in Bangladesh. In this regard this paper examines the causal relationship between budget deficit and trade deficit based on annual time...

This paper challenges the common view that exports generally contribute more to GDP growth than a pure change in export volume, as the export-led growth hypothesis predicts. Applying panel cointegration techniques to a production function with non-export GDP as the dependent variable, we find...
