The authors consider a family of rank tests based on the regression rank score process introduced by C. Gutenbrunner and J. Jureckova (1992) to test the unit root hypothesis in economic time series. In contrast to tests based on least-squares methods, the rank tests are asymptotically Gaussian...

This study empirically examines the Purchasing Power Parity hypothesis using more than a century span of annual data of Australia, Canada and Britain and a battery of unit root tests. The study finds support for the validity of the Purchasing Power Parity hypothesis in the long-run within the...

The Fisherian theory of interest asserts that a fully perceived change in inflation would be reflected in nominal interest rates and stock returns in the same direction in the long run. This paper examines the Fisherian hypothesis of asset returns using alternative techniques of linear...

This paper estimates time-varying optimal hedge ratios (OHRs) using a bivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) error correction model. The GARCH specification accounts for time-varying distribution in asset returns while the error correction term preserves...

This paper examines the empirical characteristics of target-goal relationships between M0 on the one hand, and output, prices, interest rates and the current account balance on the other hand, in terms of a good intermediate target and informational variable. The results of a five-variate vector...

This study re-examines and reinterprets the empirical results of Brooks et al . (1999) which investigated the lead--lag relationship between stock indices and stock index futures markets. Contrary to the contention of Brooks et al . that the stock index futures market leads the stock market, it...
