In this study we show that a random walk model with drift and first order autocorrelated errors, AR(1), behaves like an ARIMA(1,1,0). The last one is extracted from the unrestricted model of the Augmented Dickey Fuller test using as an explanatory variable a lag of order one difference of the...

In this study, using Monte Carlo simulations, we evaluate three alternative methods for constructing confidence intervals for the population mean in the case of a stationary first order autoregressive process, AR(1), with parameter ф. Differentiating the three methodologies with respect to the...

This paper explores the dynamics of the Greek public debt. It supports that, first, the public debt is unsustainable and, second, the reduction in government expenditures and the cut in unit labour costs in the private sector seems to be the only available, al-though too little too late...

The purpose of this thesis is to describe the influence of the Common European Fiscal Framework (Maastricht Treaty) on the Economic Growth of Greece. Under specific hypotheses, we use the standard neoclassical growth theory model of Ramsey – Cass – Koopmans. For a period of 2000 till 2006,...

Using input-output data from the World Input-Output Database (172 Symmetric Input-Output Tables of 43 countries, spanning the period 2000-2014), this paper estimates the degree and rank of Kalman controllability of the relevant Sraffian price systems. The findings suggest that: (i) the degree of...
