In this paper we specify a multi-factor long-memory process that enables us to estimate the fractional differencing parameters at each frequency separately, and adopt this framework to model quarterly prices in three European countries (France, Italy and the UK). The empirical results suggest...

This paper considers a general model which allows for both deterministic and stochastic forms of seasonality, including fractional (stationary and nonstationary) orders of integration, and also incorporating endogenously determined structural breaks. Monte Carlo analysis shows that the suggested...

This paper examines the relationship between the logarithms of CO2 emissions and real GDP in China by applying fractional integration and cointegration methods. The univariate results indicate that the two series are highly persistent, their orders of integration being around 2, whilst the...

Tourism is one of the most important factors in the productivity of the Mexican economy with significant multiplier effects on economic activity. This paper investigates possible causal relationships between tourism expenditure, real exchange rate and economic growth by using quarterly data....

International tourism is an important foreign exchange earner and an export for many low income countries as well as for developed ones. Nowadays many developing countries pay attention to economic policies for promoting international tourism as a potential strategic factor to development and...

In this paper we investigate the contribution of tourism to economic growth in Colombia. We first use the growth of real GDP per capita disaggregating it into economic growth generated by tourism and by other industries. This measure gives information of past performance of tourism in Colombia...

Argentine is the principal source of tourism in the Uruguayan case. Its effects in the economic growth is analyzed in the present paper by using quarterly data from 1987.I to 2006.IV. Co-integration analysis shows the existence of one cointegrated vector among real per capita GDP, Argentinean...

This short paper investigates the causal relations between tourism growth, relative prices and economic expansion for the Trentino-Alto Adige/Sidtirol, a region of northeast Italy bordering on Switzerland and Austria. Johansen cointegration analysis shows the existence of one cointegrated vector...
