Which OIC countries are catching up? Time Series Evidences with Multiple Structural Breaks

Abstract In this paper, income per capita convergence hypothesis is tested in selected OIC countries. For this purpose, we use the time series model and univariate KPSS stationary test with multiple structural breaks (Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2005)) over the period 1950-2008. The results show that most OIC countries could not catch up toward USA. Although because of some positive term of tra...

Which Countries are Catching up? New Evidences Using Flexible Fourier Stationary Test

In this paper, we tested the catching-up hypothesis toward the USA using Becker et al. (2006) flexible Fourier KPSS stationary test over the period 1960-2009. The mentioned test could control for unknown number and form of structural breaks using a selected frequency component of a Fourier function. Our results show almost poor countries stay poor and almost rich countries stay rich. South Kore...

Catching Up with Flu

The sniffles, sneezes, aches, and pains of flu are a dreaded part of the winter season. The fear of another deadly pandemic is ever imminent, and this issue’s Select looks at recent efforts to understand this ever-shifting virus. From efforts aiming to predict its geographical spread to those that elucidate the basic viral biology and host response, researchers are looking for new ways to stay ...
