This paper shows through a Monte Carlo analysis the effect of neglecting seasonal deterministics on the seasonal KPSS test. We found that the test is most of the time heavily oversized and not convergent in this case. In addition, Bartlett-type non-parametric correction of error variances did...

The aim of this paper is to explain why an efficient privatization policy should transit through stock markets. Indeed, in theory, this method can be considered as the best for several reasons: more justice, more equity, more transparency. Also, this modality has showed its ability to imply the...

This paper studies the dynamic effect of oil rents on industrial added value in a sample of countries with different levels of development. Using a SVAR model, we tested the effect of a real shock and a nominal shock on the variables of the model. The main obtained results are three. First, we...

Although economic growth is considered to be one of the most discussed and studied topics by economists, some questions are hitherto unexplored. In this article we will try to address one of these issues by studying the effect of hegemonic countries’ growth shocks on the growth of peripheral...

This study examines the short-run and long-run dynamics binding energy consumption to GDP using a structural vector error correction (SVECM) model during the period 1971-2009. In addition, a comparative study between Tunisia,the USA and Sweden is conducted. Results spread over two axes....

The purpose of this article is to question these alternative models and whether they would actually improve environmental quality. From the modeling, three main results emerged. First, Saudi Arabia is shown to be converging toward a model of sustainability and sustainable development, despite...

This paper studies the dynamic effect of oil rents on the industrial added value in a sample of countries with different development levels. Using a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model, we tested the effect of a real shock and a nominal shock on the variables of the model. The main...

Liberals and libertarians believe that justice is deeply embodied in liberalism. The famous physiocratic maxim "let them do business, let people and goods move: the world works by itself" relegated to second place some virtues such as justice and equity by considering them as mechanical outputs...
