Is the consumption-income ratio stationary? Evidence from linear and nonlinear panel unit root tests for OECD and non-OECD countries by Cerrato, Mario, Peretti, Christian de, Stewart, Chris

“…This extends evidence provided in the recent literature to consider both linear and nonlinear adjustment in panel unit root tests, to addresst he issue of cross-sectional dependence, and to substantially expand both time-series and cross sectional dimensions of the data analysed. We find that the majority (65%) of the series are nonstationary with slightly fewer OECD countries’ (61%) series exhibiting a unit root than non-OECD countries (68%).…”

Interest and exchange rate risk and stock returns : a multivariate GARCH-M modelling approach by Beirne, John, Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Spagnolo, Nicola

“…The econometric framework is a four-variate GARCH-in-mean model, which incorporates long-and short-term interest rates in turn. We find in most cases a positive effect of stock market returns on mean returns in each sector; by contrast, interest rates and exchange rates have a significant effect only in a few cases, respectively negative and without a clear sign pattern. …”
