The Monetary Transmission Mechanism: evidence and implications for European monetary union.
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1999-06)
We provide some evidence consistent with a heterogeneous credit channel of monetary
policy transmission in the European Union. Using the techniques of cointegration and
Error Correction Models, we have shown that the ...
On the Sustainability of Current Account Deficits: Evidence from Four ASEAN Countries
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2002)
This paper examines the sustainability of the current account imbalance for four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand) over the 1961-1999 period. To this end, we utilize the intertemporal ...
An empirical analysis of inward foreign direct investment flows in the European Union with emphasis on the market enlargement hypothesis
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1995-09)
We use a cross-section, time-series approach to study the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the European union with particular emphasis on the expectations of a Single Market following the Single European ...
Cointegration Tests of the Profit-maximising Equilibrium in Greek Manufacturing 1958-1991
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1997-05)
This paper applies the recently developed cointegration techniques to test for a
long-run equilibrium among real wages and the average productivity of labour
as implied by profit maximisation in the Greek manufacturing ...
Some evidence on the export-led growth hypothesis for Ireland
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1995-12)
The objective of this paper is to test, for the export-led growth hypothesis in Ireland over the last 40 years using the modern econometric analysis of nonstationary
time series. We find that over the 1950-1990 period ...
Are Greek budget deficits 'too large'?
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1995-09)
We use a residual-based cointegration test suggested by Gregory and Hansen
(1992) that allows for the determination of a structural break in the cointegrating
vector to test for the sustainability of Greek fiscal deficits ...
Testing for the sustainability of the current account deficit in two industrial countries
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1996-07)
The objective of this paper is to test for the sustainability of the current account
deficits in the U.S. and Canada over the 1973-1994 period. Using various unit
root and cointegration tests some of which allow for ...
Technology and Intermediation: the Case of Banking
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1998-04)
The aim of this paper is to look at ways in which the contribution of investment
in technology to consumer welfare might be measured. One useful
approach to this question is demonstrated by means of a simple spatial
model ...
Has the European Monetary System Led to More Exports? Evidence from Four European Union Countries
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1998-10)
We attempt to investigate whether the ERM period has coincided with an increase in intra-EU exports. We conclude that this has not been the case but it is likely that the elimination of nominal exchange rate variability ...
Tests for Interest Rate Convergence
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1997-05)
We use a new test for cointegration that allows for structural breaks in the cointegrating relationship to test for bilateral interest rate convergence in the European Monetary System. Contrary to previous studies that ...
