The more liberal a country's foreign exchange system, the more foreign direct investment is likely to be independent of current account and other capital flows.Fry, Claessens, Burridge, and Blanchet examine flows of foreign direct investment to 46 developing countriesto test whether such flows...

Suppose that the Ordinary Least Squares regressors X follow a vector Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, with growth matrix bA. The limiting sample variance matrix V is of interest. If A=kI, k[greater-or-equal, slanted]0, then [not partial differential]V/[not partial differential]b[greater-or-equal,...

Recent experimental results presented in Burridge and Taylor (2001a,b, and 2003) show that, as usually implemented, the Hylleberg et al. (1990) seasonal unit root tests can be rather liberal, with true level often substantially higher than nominal level. This effect is due to the presence of any...

We obtain an inequality for th esmaple varaince of a Brownian motion on [0,1] and an associated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The result is applied to a regression involving a near-integrated regressor, and establishes that in the limit the dispersion of the least squares estimator is greater in...
