We examine the validity of popular exchange rate models such as the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis and the monetary model for Korean won/US dollar exchange rate. Various specification tests demonstrate that Korean data are more favorable for both models based on time-varying cointegration coefficients as compared to those based on constant cointegration coefficients. When the abilities to predict future exchange rates between those models based on time-varying cointegration coefficients are compared, an in-sample analysis shows that the time-varying PPP (monetary model) has better predictive power over horizons shorter (longer) than one year. Results from an out-of-sample analysis indicate that the time-varying PPP outperforms models based on constant cointegration coefficients when predicting future exchange rate changes in the long run.

This paper analyzes the economic effects of the S&T Innovation, R&D, human resources and investment on the economic growth using 18 countries. We have obtained the somewhat mixed results on the existence of unit root roots in variables. While most of Pedroni cointegration tests show that there are no panel cointegration among the variables, Kao cointegration test shows that there is the panel cointegration among the variables such as GDP, human capital, R&D investment and patent. Kao cointegration test result shows that human capital, R&D investment, patent economic growth seem to have the panel cointegration or the long-run relationship among them as a whole. The estimation results of individual OLS and panel estimation show that the human capital, R&D investment and technology innovation or patent had positively significant effects on economic growth or GDP.

We propose new cointegration tests using signs of the regressors as instrumental variable. Our tests have the asymptotic standard normal distribution and are free from the dimension of regressors under the null hypothesis of no cointegration. A Monte-Carlo simulation shows that the proposed tests have a stable size and an improved power. Particulary, the tests have better power for small numbers of observations.

This paper considers a feasible two-step estimator for seasonal cointegration as the extension of $Br{\ddot{u}}ggeman$ and $L{\ddot{u}}tkepohl$ (2005). It is shown that the reducedrank maximum likelihood(ML) estimator for seasonal cointegration can still produce occasional outliers as that for non-seasonal cointegration even though the sizes of them are not extreme as those in non-seasonal cointegration. The ML estimator(MLE) is compared with the two-step estimator in a small Monte Carlo simulation study and we find that the two-step estimator can be an attractive alternative to the MLE, especially, in a small sample.

본 연구는 중국의 에너지 수요함수를 추정하기 위해 다양한 방법 중 Dynamic OLS(DOLS) 모형을 이용하고, 그 결과를 표준 공적분 모형과 비교하였다. 내생성을 고려한 DOLS 모형은 Johansen 방법과 비슷한 추정값을 보이지만, Engle-Granger(EG) 모형은 편의를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. DOLS 모형의 결과를 중심으로 살펴보면 중국의 에너지 수요함수 추정결과 노동인구 1인당 실질 GDP가 1% 상승하면 에너지 소비가 0.83% 증가하고, 에너지 가격 1%가 상승하면 에너지 수요는 0.45% 정도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 중국의 에너지 소비는 지속적으로 성장할 것으로 예상되며, 우리나라는 세계 에너지 수요 증가와 온실가스 저감에 대비하는 에너지 정책을 수립해야 한다.

For long-span bridges with a structural health monitoring (SHM) system, environmental temperature-driven responses are proved to be a main component in measurements. However, anomalous structural behavior may be hidden incomplicated recorded data. In order to receive reliable assessment of structural performance, it is important to study therelationship between temperature and monitoring data. This paper presents an application of the cointegration based methodology to detect anomalies that may be masked by temperature effects and then forecast the temperature-induced deflection (TID) of long-span suspension bridges. Firstly, temperature effects on girder deflection are analyzed with fieldmeasured data of a suspension bridge. Subsequently, the cointegration testing procedure is conducted. A threshold-based anomaly detection framework that eliminates the influence of environmental temperature is also proposed. The cointegrated residual series is extracted as the index to monitor anomaly events in bridges. Then, wavelet separation method is used to obtain TIDs from recorded data. Combining cointegration theory with autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model, TIDs for longspan bridges are modeled and forecasted. Finally, in-situ measurements of Xihoumen Bridge are adopted as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the cointegration based approach. In conclusion, the proposed method is practical for actual structures which ensures the efficient management and maintenance based on monitoring data.

환율 결정 모형의 근간이 되는 이론으로 널리 알려져 온 화폐모형은 두 국가 간의 환율이 각국의 통화량과 소득 수준에 의해 결정된다고 설명하고 있다. 그러나 이 이론이 성립하려면 이 모형에 내포된 변수 간에 공적분이 성립해야 하는데, Rapach and Wohar(2002)의 논문은 10개 국가의 자료 중 대 여섯개의 자료에만 (선형) 공적분이 존재한다는 결과를 제시하였다. 본 논문은 그들이 사용한 100년간에 걸친 자료를 사용하되, 환율 결정과정에서 발생할 수 있는 비대칭적 조정과정을 감안하여 비선형 공적분이 성립하는가를 검증하였다. 또한 독립변수가 불안정적이 아닐 경우에는 공적분 관계를 설정하기 곤란하다는 이유로 누락시키는 경우가 많은데 본 논문에서 사용되는 방법론에서는 그러한 문제가 제기되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 선형 공적분 검정 결과에 비해 더 많은 경우에 있어서 비선형 공적분 관계가 있다는 검정 결과가 산출되었다.

To provide empirical evidence on the impact of export instability on economic growth in developing countries, this study estimated the neoclassical production function using data of the Jordanian economy for the period 1995-2019. Real exports, real capital, and export instability were the independent variables in the production function. To determine the appropriate methodology for estimating the production function, the study conducted some preliminary tests, including the Augmented-Dickey Fuller (ADF), on the study data. The results of this test indicated that all study variables were stationary at first difference. Therefore, the Johanson cointegration test was applied to determine that there was cointegration between the study variables since the results of the former test indicated that there was one cointegration vector between these variables. The cointegration equation revealed a positive and statistically significant impact of real capital, real exports, and an indicator of export instability on economic growth. The most important policy implications for these results would be reducing the geographical concentration of exports through the expansion of free trade agreements (FTA) to enhance the positive impact of the instability of exports on economic growth. Moreover, the study recommends strengthening export-oriented actions to achieve higher levels of economic growth.

Despite the importance of the insurance business for financial and economic development, few studies have looked at the factors that influence its growth. This research adds to the body of knowledge by empirically examining the impact of numerous factors on the development of the insurance business in 15 Middle East and North African (MENA) countries from 2000 to 2017. The study looks at macroeconomic, demographic, and institutional factors as potential drivers of the insurance industry's growth, with the insurance premium as a percentage of GDP as the dependent variable. All variables are stationary at the first difference, according to the IPS panel unit root test. The Pedroni residual cointegration test, Kao residual cointegration test, and Johansen-Fisher panel cointegration tests are then used to look for long-run associations. The cointegration tests strongly suggest that the insurance premium and the various variables have long-run correlations. Findings from the Fully-Modified OLS imply that GDP per capita, gross capital formation, and the KOF economic globalization index have a positive long-term impact on the insurance business. The insurance business is also driven by combating corruption and the rule of law. The population and regulatory quality, on the other hand, have no significant impact.
