The basic aim of the study is to examine both the short run and long run relationship between fiscal deficit and economic growth in India by covering the time period from 1970-71 to 201112. Johansen Cointegration test, Granger Causality test, And Vector Error correction Model (VECM) technique are adopted in order to examine the objectives of this study. The Johansen methodology confirms the exi...

Economic Integration in Interwar Poland - A Threshold Cointegration Analysis

In this paper we study the issue of economic integration in Poland between 1924 and 1937 by means of a threshold cointegration analysis of the law of one price. We find that the interwar economy can be regarded as integrated but with obvious restrictions which refer to the existence of relevant transaction costs for arbitrage and differences in the level of prices between cities. Moreover, the ...

Genetic structure, consanguineous marriages and economic development: Panel cointegration and panel cointegration neural network analyses

Consanguineous marriages and their effects on human beings in light of biological effects of genetic sicknesses are discussed in many studies. Among many, the likelihood of sicknesses such as phenylketonuria, thalassemia, Landsteiner–Fanconi–Anderson’s syndrome, hemophilia and many neuro system anomalies increase drastically in countries with consanguineous marriage practices resulting in incre...

Long Term Economic Relationships from Cointegration Maps

We employ the Bayesian framework to define a cointegration measure aimed to represent long term relationships between time series. For visualization of these relationships we introduce a dissimilarity matrix and a map based on the Sorting Points Into Neighborhoods (SPIN) technique, which has been previously used to analyze large data sets from DNA arrays. We exemplify the technique in three dat...
