In this paper, we re-examine the stochastic behaviour of per capita total primary energy consumption across 178 countries around the world. For this purpose, in addition to conventional unit root tests, we apply newly developed tests that allow for nonlinear adjustments and structural breaks in...

Stationarity properties of real interest rates are examined for 21 transition economies. Owing to transaction costs and other frictions, it is quite plausible that we deal with potential non-linearities in the real interest rate. Therefore we examine stationarity of real interest rate allowing...

This article tests the validity of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. For this purpose we test whether the real exchange rate series of 10 CIS countries vis-a-vis the US dollar follow a stationary process. Considering the fact that the CIS...

The purpose of this article is to re-examine the validity of the long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis for Jordan. Using a Markov-switching model, we provide some evidence that the real exchange rate of Jordan is stationary during periods of low real exchange rate volatility and...

The relationship between inflation and different sources of inflation uncertainty is investigated in Turkey during the period of 1995:3-2000:12. A time-varying parameter model of inflation with heteroscedastic disturbances is used to generate different sources of inflation uncertainty and then...
