본 연구는 혼합주기모형을 해운경기 예측에 활용하기 위해 기존의 비선형 장기균형관계분석에서 통계적으로 유의한 요인들을 단기모형에 적용하였다. 가장 일반적인 단일변수(univariate) AR(1) 모형과 혼합주기모형으로부터 각각 표본외 예측을 실시하여 예측오차와 비교한 결과 혼합주기모형의 예측력이 AR(1) 모형보다 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 실증분석은 새로운 고차원 혼합주기모형이 해운경기변동 예측에 유용한 모형임을 의미하며, 즉, 최근 다변수 시계열 자료가 주로 장기균형관계(long-run equilibrium)를 대상으로 하고 있는데, 고차주기와 같은 정보를 분석에 포함할 경우 단기 해운경기 분석모형의 예측력이 향상될 수 있음을 의미하는 분석결과이다.

본 논문은 1997년 1월부터 2008년 7월까지의 주별 휘발유가격에 장기적 단기적 가격비대칭성이 존재하는지를 연구한다. 어떤 형태의 가격비대칭이 어느 단계에서 발생하는지 파악하기 위해 생산에서 소비에 이르는 과정을 도매단계와 소매단계로 분리해서 분석한다. TAR와 M-TAR 공적분모형과 거기에 대응하는 비대칭적 오차수정모형에 근거한 분석방법을 이용한다. 도매가격에 있어서는 원유가격 및 환율과 연관된 비대칭성이 두 형태의 오차수정모형에서 장기와 단기에 모두 발견된다. 단기적인 가격비대칭성을 설명하는데는 환율이 원유가격보다 더 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타난다. '로켓과 깃털'에서 예상되는 대폭의 즉각적인 조정과는 달리 원유가격이나 환율의 상승은 도매가격의 인상 후 2주가 되어서야 통계적으로 유의한 주된 영향을 미친다. 그리고 특이하게도 비대칭적으로 원유가격이나 환율의 하락은 같은 기에 도매가격에 통계적으로 유의한 효과를 전혀 미치지 못한다. 소매가격에 있어서는 도매가격과 관련된 비대칭성이 오직 장기에서만 드러난다. 단기적으로는 대칭적으로 가격조정이 이루어진다고 할 수 있다. 도매단계에서 발견된 장기적 비대칭성과는 대조적으로 균형으로부터의 음(-)의 이탈이 양(+)의 이탈보다 장기적 균형 수준을 향해서 더 빠르게 조정되는데 이는 소비자에게는 불리한 현상으로 보인다. 국내 주별 휘발유가격 분석에서 TAR 과정 및 M-TAR 과정으로 나타낸 장기적 가격비대칭이 존재하는 것을 추정된 threshold를 이용해 확언한 것 그리고 장기 및 단기의 가격비대칭을 같은 모형에서 분석한 것은 본 연구가 처음으로 시도했다는 의미를 가진다.

The study makes an attempt to investigate the causal nexus between carbon dioxide emissions, GDP per capita, industrialization and population with an evidence from Rwanda by employing a time series data spanning from 1965 to 2011 using the autoregressive distributed lag model. Evidence from the study shows that carbon dioxide emissions, GDP per capita, industrialization and population are co-integrated and have a long-run equilibrium relationship. Evidence from the Granger-causality shows a unidirectional causality running from industrialization to GDP per capita, population to carbon dioxide emissions, population to GDP per capita and population to industrialization. Evidence from the long-run elasticities has policy implications for Rwanda; a 1% increase in GDP per capita will decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 1.45%, while a 1% increase in industrialization will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 1.64% in the long-run. Increasing economic growth in Rwanda will therefore reduce environmental pollution in the long-run which appears to support the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. However, industrialization leads to more emissions of carbon dioxide, which reduces environment, health and air quality. It is noteworthy that the Rwandan Government promotes sustainable industrialization, which improves the use of clean and environmentally sound raw materials, industrial process and technologies.

The study aims to investigate the pattern of relationships such as symmetric or asymmetric, between exchange rate and foreign direct investment in Bangladesh by applying Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) and nonlinear ARDL. In this study, we employed quarterly data for the period of 1974Q1 to 2016Q4. Data were collected and aggregated from various sources namely, Bangladesh Economic Review published by Ministry of Finance and statistical yearbook published by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics and an annual report published by Bangladesh Bank. The relationship between exchange rate and FDI inflows attract immense interest in the recent periods, especially for developing countries' perspective. The results of the study ascertain the long run relationship between FDI, exchange rate, monetary policy, and fiscal policy. Considering the asymmetric assumption, the findings from NARDL confirm the existence of a long-run asymmetric relationship in the empirical equation. In the long run, it is observed that positive change that is the appreciation of exchange rate against USD decrease FDI inflows and negative shocks results in grater inflows of FDI, however, the positive shocks produce higher intensity that negative shocks in Exchange rate. For directional causality, the coefficients of error correction term confirm long-run causality, in particular, bidirectional causality unveiled between FDI and exchange rate.

The study estimated the relationship between carbon dioxide, crop and livestock production index in Ghana: Estimating the long-run elasticities and variance decomposition by employing a time series data spanning from 1960-2013 using both fit regression and ARDL models. There was evidence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, crop production index and livestock production index. Evidence from the study shows that a 1% increase in crop production index will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 0.52%, while a 1% increase in livestock production index will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 0.81% in the long-run. There was evidence of a bidirectional causality between a crop production index and carbon dioxide emissions and a unidirectional causality exists from livestock production index to carbon dioxide emissions. Evidence from the variance decomposition shows that 37% of future fluctuations in carbon dioxide emissions are due to shocks in the crop production index while 18% of future fluctuations in carbon dioxide emissions are due to shocks in the livestock production index. Efforts towards reducing pre-production, production, transportation, processing and post-harvest losses are essential to reducing food wastage which affects Ghana's carbon footprint.

This paper investigates the long run hedging ability of precious metals against the risks associated with adverse conditions of economic and financial variables for Pakistan, the USA, China, and India. Monthly data of gold, silver, platinum, stock returns, exchange rate, industrial production, and inflation was collected for the selected economies. Saikkonen and Lutkepohl (2002) unit root test was employed to access the unit root properties of the data series and identify the break dates. Furthermore, this study used the Johansen cointegration test with and without structural breaks to identify the long-run relationship between metals prices and different financial and economic variables. The findings suggest that the time series under study have unit root problem at level with and without structural breaks. Without considering structural breaks, the Johansen trace test indicates that in Pakistan and China, gold, silver, and platinum hold a cointegrating relationship with macroeconomic and financial variables. For the US, gold indicates cointegration which supports the hedging ability of gold against inflation, stock, and industrial production in the long run. The results of the cointegration test after incorporating the structural breaks provide even stronger evidence of the long-run relationship of precious metals and consumer prices, exchange rate, and stock prices.

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.

The study explores the nexus between foreign direct investment (FDI), financial innovation, and exchange rate volatility in selected South Asian countries for 1980 to 2017. The study applies the unit root test, Autoregressive Distributed Lagged, nonlinear ARDL, and causality test following Toda-Yamamoto. Unit root tests ascertain that variables are integrated in a mixed order; few variables are stationary at a level and few after the first difference. Empirical model estimation with ARDL, Long-run cointegration revealed with the tests of FPSS, WPSS, and tBDM by rejecting the null hypothesis of "no cointegration." This finding suggests that, in the long-run financial innovation, FDI inflows, and exchange rate volatility move together. Moreover, study findings established adverse effects running from FDI inflows and financial innovation to exchange rate volatility in the long run. These findings suggest that continual FDI inflows and innovativeness in the financial system assist in lessening the volatility in the foreign exchange market. Furthermore, nonlinear ARDL confirms the presence of asymmetric cointegration in the model. The standard Wald test established asymmetric effects running from FDI inflows and financial innovation to exchange rate volatility, both in the long and short run. Directional causality unveils feedback hypothesis holds for explaining causality between FDI, financial innovation, and exchange rate volatility.

Achieving sustainable development requires an increasing share of green technologies. World energy demand is expected to rise significantly especially in developing economies. The increasing energy demands will be entertained with conventional energy sources at the cost of higher emissions unless eco-friendly technologies are used. This study examines the asymmetric effects of nuclear energy on carbon emissions for Pakistan from 1974 to 2019. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips Perron (PP) unit root tests suggest that variables are integrated of order one and bound test of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and nonlinear ARDL confirm a long-run relationship among selected variables. The ARDL, Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) results show that the coefficient of nuclear energy has a negative and significant impact on emissions in both short and long run. Further, the NARDL finding shows that there exists an asymmetric long-run association between nuclear energy and CO₂ emissions. The vector error correction method (VECM) results indicate that there exists a bidirectional causal relationship between nuclear energy and carbon emissions in both the short and long run. Additionally, the impact of nuclear energy on ecological footprint has been examined and our findings remain robust.

The aim of this study is to find out the time-series nexus of public debt and economic growth in Malaysia. For an upper-middle income country, Malaysia had experienced over 50% ratio of debt to GDP since 2009 until now. The question arises is whether this trend is healthy to the economy. With a focus into the debt-to-GDP ratio from 1970-2015, this study investigates the short-run and long-run relationship between public debt and economic growth in Malaysia. This study used secondary data by collecting time-series data (1970-2015) from the World Bank Data and Bank Negara Malaysia. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is applied in this study to examine the relationship between debt and economic growth. Based on ARDL framework, it shows that there is a long-run effect between the debt and economic growth in Malaysia. While the significance value of Error Correction Term shows that there is a long-run adjustment in the short run. Generally, this study found government expenditures, in the long run, strongly influence the GDP per capita. Through the findings, the government expenditures could increase the GDP per capita. The study also reveals that any increment of the debt ratio will result in reduction of the GDP per capita.
