The standard macroeconomic view links the equilibrium level of foreign exchange rates to the state of the macroeconomic fundamentals. Any deviation from the equilibrium level is viewed as temporary since there are forces ensuring quickly mean-reverting dynamics. The aim of this article is to...

The aim of this article is to answer the following question: can the considerable rise in the volatility of the LAC stock markets in the aftermath of the 2007/2008 crisis be explained by the worsening financial environment in the US markets? To this end, we rely on a time-varying transition...

This article contributes to the recent empirical literature on financial repression and focuses on the French case since the end of World War II. We find that the fiscal adjustment needed to lower the debt ratio has been smaller during the years of financial repression in comparison with those...

[eng] Non-linear Cointegration : a Discussion of Methodology.. The aim of this paper is to present recent contributions extending the classical concept of cointegration to non-linear cases. Thus, we look at a joint study of non-stationary and non-linear phenomena and offer a complete...

This book provides new insights on nonlinear cointegration and error correction models. It seeks to bring together recent developments on the subject that are, up until today, scattered throughout the literature. The authors demonstrate the importance of NECM models for studying partial...

The asymmetric and persistent adjustment of the European real exchange rates is investigated using the framework of non-linear cointegration. The episodes of slow mean-reversion dynamics over the period from 1979 to 1999 are explained. A test of unit root against STAR cointegration is proposed...
