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 ...
Testing for real interest rate convergence in European countries
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1998-01)
We use cointegration tests that determine endogenously the regime shift to
test for bilateral short-term and long-term real interest rate convergence in
the European Monetary System in the 1979-1993 period. The results ...
An empirical analysis of short-run and long-run Irish export functions : does exchange rate volatility matter?
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1998-04)
We analyse the long-run and short-run relationship between merchandise
export volume and its determinants, foreign income, relative prices and
exchange rate variability, using the techniques of cointegration and ...
Are the US current account deficits really sustainable?
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1998-03)
We have tested for a long-run relationship between four US export measures
and analogous import measures (measured in nominal and real terms, levels
and deflated by GNP) in the 1967-1994 period using quarterly data. ...
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 ...
Real interest-rate parity under regime shifts: evidence for industrial countries.
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 1998-10)
We use recently developed cointegration tests that determine endogenously
the regime shift to test for bilateral real interest rate convergence (real interest
rate parity) in the G7 against the US in the 1974-1995 period. ...
