In this study we examine the widely used Brock, Dechert and Scheinkman (BDS) test when applied to the logarithm of the standardized residuals of an estimated GARCH(1,1) model as a test for the adequacy of this specification. We review the conditions derived by De Lima (1996, Econometric Reviews,...

This paper employs a new methodology for measuring the contribution of growth and interest rate differentials to the half-life of deviations from Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). Our method is based on directly comparing the impulse response function of a VAR model, where the real exchange rate is...

This paper investigates the Purchasing Power Parity Puzzle in the context of a Vector Autoregressive(VAR) model, where the real exchange rate is Granger caused by macroeconomic variables, suggested by 'sticky-price' theories of exchange rate determination. By doing this, we are able to discern...
