Unit root methods have long been used in detection of financial bubbles in asset prices. The basic idea is that fundamental changes in the autocorrelation structure of relevant time series imply the presence of a rational price bubble. We provide cross-country evidence for performance of...

This paper provides an early warning indicator for bubbles in financial markets. The indicator is based on traditional unit root tests, more precisely on the augmented Dickey-Fuller test and may be used in a repeated manner with rolling samples. The performance of the indicator is tested...

The dividend yield ratio in the stock markets is, to an extent, comparable to the rent-price ratio in the housing market. Taking advantage of this definitional similarity, one can then use the traditional unit root test for log dividend yield - in this case, the log rent-price ratio - to test...
