Powerful Trend Function Tests That are Robust to Strong Serial Correlation with an Application to the Prebisch-Singer Hypothesis

Finite-sample Resampling-based Combined Hypothesis Tests, with Applications to Serial Correlation and Predictability

This paper suggests Monte Carlo multiple test procedures which are provably valid in finite samples. These include combination methods originally proposed for independent statistics and further improvements which formalize statistical practice. We also adapt the Monte Carlo test method to non-continuous combined statistics. The methods suggested are applied to test serial dependence and predict...

Serial Correlation Tests with Wavelets

This paper offers two new statistical tests for serial correlation with better power properties. The first test is concerned with wavelet-based portmanteau tests of serial correlation. The second test extends the wavelet-based tests to the residuals of a linear regression model. The wavelet approach is appealing, since it is based on the different behavior of the spectra of a white noise proces...

The Origins and Interpretation of the Prebisch-Singer Thesis

The Prebisch-Singer thesis is generally taken to be the proposition that the net barter terms of trade between primary products (raw materials) and manufactures have been subject to a long-run downward trend. The publication dates of the first two works in English that expounded the thesis were nearly simultaneous. In May 1950, the English version of The Economic Development of Latin America an...
