In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis to examine the resilience of tourism in Vietnam since the Doi Moi period. Using an augmented Solow framework, data from 1986 to 2020, and the ARDL approach, we estimate the long-run and short-run effects, whilst accounting for model-specific...

This paper focuses on the estimation and testing of multiple breaks that occur at unknown dates in multivariate long memory time series regression models, allowing for fractional cointegration. A likelihood-ratio based approach for estimating the breaks in the parameters and in the covariance of...

This paper revisits the effects of financial market openness and stock market returns on economic development in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries over the period 1993-2022. We performed the panel stationarity test advanced that accommodates the presence of multiple structural breaks and...

This paper analyzes possibly time-varying shock transmission in structural vector autoregressive (VAR) models when the reduced-form VAR coefficients are time-invariant and the shocks are identified through non-Gaussianity. To check for possible time-variation in the impulse responses, we propose...

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of persistence in real house prices at the quarterly frequency in 47 countries from the OECD Database using fractional integration methods. The sample period varies depending on data availability, the longest series being the Japanese one (from...

Illness, or the medical treatment of a family member, comprises an inherent part of human life, the occurrence of which often prevents employees from attending work. This article analyses the relationship between absence from work due to illness and the amount of an individual's income. The...

In this paper, tests for fractional cointegration that allow for structural breaks in the long-run equilibrium are proposed. Traditional cointegration tests cannot handle shifts in fractional cointegration relationships, a limitation addressed here by allowing for a time-dependent memory...

We extend the monitoring of structural breaks in classic cointegration proposed by Wagner and Wied (2017) to explicitly allow for fractional cointegration and breaks in these fractional relations with possible deterministic trends. To estimate the parameters we use a fully modified OLS estimator...

Purpose - The study aims to determine the long and short-term causal relationships between the variables associated with the adjustment of monetary policy and the stock market in India in the presence of structural breaks. Design/methodology/approach - The study employed the autoregressive...

This study examined the structural breakdowns and co-movements of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) cryptocurrencies from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bai-Perron test was used to determine the change in the mean and variance of the two principal actors regarding market capitalization...

Cryptocurrencies have become a popular investment option and the Ethereum has become a mainstream cryptocurrency because of the additional functionality that can be accomplished with the backing of the powerful Ethereum network compared to Bitcoin. The high volatility of Ethereum offers both...

This work investigates the hypothesis of fiscal sustainability for 18 Latin American countries from 1991 to 2022. We applied a panel cointegration methodology to evaluate the existence of a long-term relationship between government revenue and expenditures, incorporating cross-sectional...

When in proxy-SVARs the covariance matrix of VAR disturbances is subject to exogenous, permanent, nonrecurring breaks that generate target impulse response functions (IRFs) that change across volatility regimes, even strong, exogenous external instruments can result in inconsistent estimates of...

Quinoa has evolved considerably in the past decades, becoming consolidated as a fundamental pillar for Andean farming communities and emerging as a prominent actor in the global superfood market. Despite this, prices of this grain have been characterized by complex dynamics, with substantial...

The balanced growth theory and the neoclassical growth model predict that certain macroeconomic variables such as output, consumption, and investment grow at a constant rate. Analytically, it indicates that the consumption-output ratio and the investment-output ratio (termed "great ratios") must...

This paper attempts to study to what extent Tunisian industrial exports have been resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, we tested for structural breaks using the Bai-Perron test and monthly data on industrial exports from January 2014 to December 2022. Using the...

The introduction of Bitcoin as a distributed peer-to-peer digital cash in 2008 and its first recorded real transaction in 2010 served the function of a medium of exchange, transforming the financial landscape by offering a decentralized, peer-to-peer alternative to conventional monetary systems....

This paper develops a Stein-like combined estimator for large heterogeneous panel data models under common structural breaks. The model allows for cross-sectional dependence through a general multifactor error structure. By utilizing the common correlated effects (CCE) estimation technique, we...

Closed-end fund (CEF) prices often exhibit large and persistent deviations from their associated net asset values (NAVs), which is puzzling considering that NAVs are publicly observable for CEFs, which essentially represent repackaged financial assets. The persistence of these deviations is...
