[fre] Cet article compare les performances des filtres de Hodrick-Prescott et de Baxter-King avec une méthode de filtrage fondée sur les propriétés multi-résolution des ondelettes. Globalement, les trois méthodes restent comparables si la composante cyclique théorique est définie dans la...

This paper asks whether the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) provides economic incentives to reduce carbon emissions. If so, electricity producers should include the price of carbon in their cost functions. After identifying different sub-periods of the EU ETS during its pilot...

Test for unit root based in wavelets theory is recently defined (Gençay and Fan, 2007). While the new test is supposed to be robust to the initial value, we bring out by contrast the significant effects of the initial value in the size and the power. We found also that both the wavelets unit...

This article estimates the number of breaks and their locations in the covariance structure of a series based on the evolutionary spectral density and uses some standard information criteria. The adopted approach is non-parametric and does not privilege a priori any modelling of the series. One...

This paper deals with the concept of absorptive capacity and shows how much it matters for analysing the inward foreign direct investment spillovers on host countries. By leaning on the endogenous, competences and agglomerations theories, two aspects of the absorptive capacity are brought forth:...

In this paper two characteristics a priori contradictory and yet coexistent in the daily returns of exchange rate euro/US dollar are drawn. The non-stationarity of the covariance structure of the series is shown and, after the extraction of the unstable variance using the algorithm based on the...

This paper examines the causality relationship between immigration, unemployment and economic growth of the host country. We employ the panel Granger causality testing approach of Konya (2006) that is based on SUR systems and Wald tests with country specific bootstrap critical values. This...

This article examines the causal relations between non-European immigration and the characteristics of the housing market in host regions. We constructed a unique database from administrative records and used it to assess annual migration flows into France's 22 administrative regions from 1990...

This paper examines the causality relationship between immigration, unemployment and economic growth of the host country. We employ the bootstrap panel Granger causality testing approach of Kónya (2006) that allows to test for causality on each individual country separably by accounting for...
