This paper provides empirical evidence that there is no absolute convergence between the GDP per capita of the developing countries since 1950. Relying upon recent econometric methodologies (nonstationary long-memory models, wavelet models and time-varying factor representation models), we show...

This paper provides empirical evidence that there is no absolute convergence between the GDP per capita of the developing countries since 1950. Relying upon recent econometric methodologies (nonstationary long-memory models, wavelet models and time-varying factor representation models), we show...

The standard macroeconomic view links the equilibrium level of foreign exchange rates to the state of the macroeconomic fundamentals. Any deviation from the equilibrium level is viewed as temporary since there are forces ensuring quickly mean-reverting dynamics. The aim of this article is to...

The aim of this article is to study and quantify the transmission channels between the American and Mexican stock markets in the aftermath of the subprime crisis. To this end, we use a time-varying transition probability Markov-switching model, in which ?crisis? and ?non-crisis? periods are...

[eng] Non-linear Cointegration : a Discussion of Methodology.. The aim of this paper is to present recent contributions extending the classical concept of cointegration to non-linear cases. Thus, we look at a joint study of non-stationary and non-linear phenomena and offer a complete...

This paper applies quantile regression techniques to investigate how the impact of trade openness on the growth rate of per capita income varies with the conditional distribution of growth. Using formal robustness analyses, we first identify robust variables affecting economic growth...
