This paper examines the efficient market hypothesis for the wine market using a novel unit root test while accounting for sharp shifts and smooth breaks in the monthly data. We find evidence of structural shifts and nonlinearity in the wine indices. Contrary to the results from conventional...

This study examines whether the long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) holds in transition economies (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Russia) using monthly data over the 1995 - 2011 period. We apply a recently introduced panel stationary test, which...

While previous studies focus on linear unit root test to study the convergence of carbon price in some developed countries and the results might be biased due to the lower power of these linear unit root tests. China provides an interesting arena to investigate its carbon price convergence due...

This note studies the long-run relationship between real estate and stock markets in the Taiwan context over the 1986Q3 to 2006Q4 period, using standard cointegration test of Johansen and Juselius (1990) and that of Engle-Granger (1987) as well as the fractional cointegration test of Geweke and...

In this study, we revisit the issue as to the presence of Rational Bubbles in the Korea stock market during the May 1996 to November 2007 period using three cointegration tests, namely JJ (Johansen and Juselius, 1990), KSS (Kapetanois et al., 2006) and BN (Bierens, 1997, 2004) approaches. The...

This study applies bootstrap panel causality, proposed by Kónya (2006), to investigate causal link between political uncertainty and stock price for seven OECD countries over the monthly period of 2001.01 to 2013.04. This modeling approach allows us to examine both the cross-sectional...

In this note, we use the newly-developed and refined panel stationary test with structural breaks, as advanced by Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2005), to investigate the time-series properties of per capita real GDP for 20 Latin American countries during the 1960-2000 period. The empirical results...

This study uses an enhanced powerful nonparametric cointegration test developed by Bierens (1997) to re-investigate whether there are long-run benefits from international equity diversification between the United States and BRICS countries (i.e., Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa),...
