The study analyzed dynamics of the relationship between tourism, energy consumption, and climate change for 25 OECD countries during 1995-2005. For the analysis, Panel VAR (PVAR) model was used. Results of panel unit root-tests show that tourism is nonstationary in the level form but stationary...

Using data for SAARC region, we found real GDP per capita is nonlinear stationary implying that shocks to economy by economic policies (external or internal) have permanent effect on real per capita GDP of SAARC countries. This finding reveals that classical growth model works better to boost...

This study examines the integration of nine Asian stock markets using the new methodology of wavelet multiple correlation and multiple cross-correlation proposed by Fernandez (2012). This novel approach eliminates several limitations which are encountered when conventional pairwise wavelet...

This paper explores the effects of financial development, economic growth, coal consumption and trade openness on environmental performance using time series data over the period 1965–2008 in case of South Africa. The ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration has been used to test the long...

This paper investigates the unit root properties of electricity consumption per capita of 67 developed and developing countries for the period 1971–2010. To examine the stationary properties of electricity consumption per capita, we have adopted Lee and Strazicich (2003, 2004) test of unit...

The study attempts to analyze the static and dynamic causality between producers’ prices measured by wholesale price index (WPI) and consumers’ prices measured by consumers’ price index (CPI) in case of India. In doing so, we have applied the autoregressive distributed lag...

The literature devoted to the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis, which is of utmost importance for policymaking in emerging countries, provides mixed evidence for the validity of the hypothesis. Recent contributions focus on the time-dependence of the relationship between export and output...

This study analyzes the time-frequency relationship between oil price and exchange rate for Pakistan by using measures of continuous wavelet such as wavelet power, cross-wavelet power, and cross-wavelet coherency. The results of cross-wavelet analysis indicate that covariance between oil price...

The present study is an attempt to test whether sectoral indices of Bombay stock Exchange have diversification benefits in the same. For the analysis, we used daily data spanning from 2/1/1999to 3/31/2011. To test our hypothesis we used Fractional cointegration test. Study found that, ingeneral,...

The study analyzed Granger-causality between interest rate (IR) and share prices (SP) for the India by using monthly data covering the period of 1990M1 to 2009M3. The time-frequency relationship between IR and SP was decomposed through continuous wavelet approach for the first time in the study....
