This study applies panel SURKSS tests, proposed by Wu and Lee (2009), to investigate the properties of long-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in a sample of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)-8 countries over the period January 1999 to June 2008. The empirical results from several...

In this study, the panel Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Augmented Dickey-Fuller (SURADF) tests advanced by Breuer et al. (2001) are used to test the validity of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for G-7 countries over the period 1980M1 to 2008M5. The empirical results from several panel-based unit...

In this study, we apply the panel Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Augmented Dickey-Fuller (SURADF) tests developed by Breuer et al. (2001) to revisit the validity of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for 16 Latin American countries. The empirical results from several panel-based unit root tests...

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for transition economies is tested using Panel Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Augmented Dickey-Fuller (SURADF) tests of Breuer et al. (2001) for the period of January 1995 to December 2008. Although the other panel-based unit-root tests are joint tests of a unit...

The hysteresis hypothesis in unemployment for ten European countries are tested using newly developed Panel SURADF tests of Breuer et al. (2001) for the 1961-1999 period. While the other Panel-based unit root tests are joint tests of a unit root for all members of the panel and are incapable of...

This note uses the newly developed panel SURADF tests advanced by Breuer et al. (2001) to investigate the time-series properties of real GDP for 47 African countries for the period 1980 to 2004. While the other Panel-based unit root tests are joint tests of a unit root for all members of the...

In this study, we revisit the issue as to the presence of rational bubbles in the US stock market during the 1871 to 2002 period using both the Johansen cointegration and the Bierens 1997 nonparametric cointegration tests. The results from the conventional Johansen cointegration test fully...

This study applies a simple and powerful nonlinear unit-root test proposed by Sollis (2009) to test the validity of long-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for Germany's real exchange rate <italic>vis-à-vis</italic> its trading partner countries. The empirical results indicate that PPP holds for Germany relative...

This study applies the Sequential Panel Selection Method (SPSM) to test the mean reversion properties in the real interest rates for the G-10 countries (i.e. Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States) over the period 1980M1...

This study applied the nonlinear Kapetanios <italic>et al.</italic> (2003) test with a Fourier function (capturing the smooth breaks) to test the validity of long-run Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for G-7 countries over the period January 1994 to April 2010. The empirical results indicate that PPP holds for all...
