Generalized Fractional Time Series Modelling of the Relationship between Consumption and Income in the UK.

Gil-Alana, Luis A.

We propose in this article a general time series model, whose components are modelled in terms of fractionally integrated processes. This specification allows us to consider the trend, the seasonal...

A Fractionally Integrated Exponential Model for UK Unemployment.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

Fractionally integrated models with the disturbances following a Bloomfield (1973) exponential spectral model are proposed in this article for modelling UK unemployment. This gives us a better...

Semiparametric Estimation of the Fractional Differencing Parameter of Measures of the U.K. Unemployment.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

The order of integration of different measures of the U.K. unemployment is investigated in this paper by means of semiparametric techniques. Several methods, such as the R/S statistic, along with...

Long-run and Cyclical Dynamics in the US Stock Market

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

This paper examines the long-run dynamics and the cyclical structure of the US stock market using fractional integration techniques, specifically a version of the tests of Robinson (1994a) which...

Testing the order of integration of the UK Unemployment

Gil-Alana, Luis A

Tests proposed by Robinson (1994a) for testing unit roots and other fractionally integrated hypotheses are applied in this article to several measures of the U.K. unemployment. The results clearly...

Real Exchange Rates: Evidence from Black Markets Using Fractionally Integrated Semiparametric Techniques.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

The behaviour of the real exchange rates (relative to the US dollar) is examined in this article using monthly data obtained from the black markets for foreign exchange of eight Asian developing...

Unemployment and Input Prices: A Fractional Cointegration Approach.

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A

This paper examines the relationship between unemployment, real oil price and real interest rates in Canada. Instead of following the classical approach based on I(0) stationarity or I(1)...

Confidence Intervals for Fractionally Integrated Hypotheses in the Real Output across Europe.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

Confidence intervals for the fractional differencing parameter are established in this article for the real output in several European countries. They are based on a testing procedure due to Robinson...

Seasonal Long Memory in the US Monthly Monetary Aggregate.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

The seasonal structure of the US monthly M1 monetary aggregate is investigated in this article by means of seasonal long memory processes. Using a version of the tests proposed by Robinson in 1994,...

Measuring Unemployment Persistence in Terms of I(d) Statistical Models.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

In the paper the unemployment rate series of nineteen countries are examined by means of fractionally integrated techniques. The results show that unemployment series are more persistent in some...

The Persistence of Unemployment in the USA and Europe in Terms of Fractionally ARIMA Models.

Gil-Alana, Luis A

This article examines the persistence of unemployment in the USA and four European countries by means of fractionally integrated ARMA (ARFIMA) models. In doing so, a type of flexibility in modelling...

Modelling the US, UK and Japanese unemployment rates: Fractional integration and structural breaks

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

A general procedure for fractional integration and structural breaks at unknown points in time is used, which allows for different orders of integration and deterministic components in each...

The Nature of Occupational Unemployment Rates in the United States: Hysteresis or Structural?

Candelon, Bertrand, Dupuy, Arnaud, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

This paper provides new evidence on the nature of occupational differences in unemployment dynamics, which is relevant for the debate between the structural or hysteresis hypotheses. We develop a...

The nature of the relationship between international tourism and international trade: the case of German imports of Spanish wine

Fischer, Christian, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

This paper deals with the relationship between international trade and tourism. We focus on the effect that German tourism to Spain has on German imports of Spanish wine. Due to the different...

International traveling and trade: further evidence for the case of Spanish wine based on fractional VAR specifications

Gil-Alana, Luis A., Fischer, Christian

This paper deals with the relationship between international travelling and trade. For this purpose we focus on a particular case study: the connection between the Spanish wine exports to Germany and...

Non-Linearities and Fractional Integration in the US Unemployment Rate

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

This paper proposes a model of the US unemployment rate which accounts for both its asymmetry and its long memory. Our approach, based on the tests of Robinson (1994), introduces fractional...
