This study measures the degree of financial integration between Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Turkey on the one hand and the United States and United Kingdom on the other hand. Using cointegration, error correction, and Granger causality tests I find that only the Turkish equity market is...

In recent years, analysts have used cointegration tests in determining whether the residuals of the purchasing power parity (PPP) model are mean-reverting. Cointegration methods, however, rest on the binary selection of the series as either stationary or integrated of degree one. This approach...

Purpose – This study seeks to explore the nature of a data-generating process for four dollar exchange rates. Design/methodology/approach – Using a discrete parametric modeling approach, an efficient test statistic was computed for nonlinearity in terms of variance of the residuals of the...

Purpose – This paper aims to critically examine China's exchange rate policy debate and discuss Chinese financial and capital control reform of recent years. Furthermore, using the empirical results based on a regional general equilibrium model, alternative methods are suggested of addressing...

Two series, German mark/US dollar exchange rate and US consumer price index, are tested to illustrate if nonlinear noise reduction could help to improve prediction. Three nonlinear noise reduction methods, local projective (LP), singular value decomposition (SVD) and simple nonlinear filtering...
