This study examines whether or not the convergence of per capita output—which is categorized as catching-up and long-run convergence, defined by Oxley and Greasley (1995)—exists within Asian newly industrializing economies (Asian NIEs), namely, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan....

This study investigates the existence of regional convergence of per capita outputs in China from 1952–2004, particularly focusing on considering the presence of multiple structural breaks in the provincial-level panel data. First, the panel-based unit root test that allows for occurrence of...

We examine the house prices convergence across twelve OECD countries over the period 1905-2016. Using novel quantile unit root tests which allow for smooth breaks via a Fourier expansion series, we find that nine countries show the presence of relative house price convergence at all the...

This paper examines the relative importance of the global and regional markets for financial markets in developing countries, particularly during the US financial crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis. We examine the way in which the degree of regional (seven African markets combined),...

We provide the first study of how large and persistent the Australian financial markets reacted to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Using the novel quantile copula coherency developed by Baruník and Kley (2019), our study properly detects short- and long-lived significant reactions of the stock...

We provide the first study on how COVID-19 vaccine rollout affects Australian financial markets. To examine the heterogeneous and asymmetric effects of vaccination rate on financial markets, we adopt the quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR). We also use the novel quantile copula coherency...
