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...

Due to data incompleteness and missing values, 21 Asia Pacific countries, presenting more than half of the world’s population, were selected fo...
متن کاملHysteresis Effect on Unemployment: Evidence from the Visegrad Countries
Hysteresis effect on unemployment is a much discussed topic in macroeconomics. However, empirical findings regarding the existence of hysteresis effect are contradictory. The present study investigates hysteresis in the unemployment rates of the Visegrad Group countries, namely: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.

متن کاملTrade Potential of Turkey with Asia-Pacific Countries: Evidence from Panel Gravity Model
As a result of recent developments, global economic centre of gravity has slide to Asia-Pacific region. It is predicted that Asia-Pacific countries will take place at the first row in global trade and nearly a half of the total trade will intensify in this region at the year 2030. On the other hand, the region covers countries from different levels of development. These features of the region p...
متن کاملInflation Revisited: New Evidence from Modified Unit Root Tests
We propose a simple modification to the general-to-specific lag-length selection method typically employed in a standard augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and apply it to examine the stationarity of OECD countries’ inflation rates. Instead of using the entire set of lags selected by the general-to-specific method, we suggest using only the lags that are statistically significant. Our Monte Car...
