This paper adopts recently developed panel unit root test that is cross-sectionally robust. Cointegration test is also used to find whether regional house prices are in line with gross regional domestic production (GRDP) in the long run in Korea during 1989-2009. Based on the panel VECM and the panel ARDL models, we examine causal relationships among the variables and estimate the long-run elasticity. We find evidence of cointegration and bidirectional causal relationships between regional house prices and GRDP. The results of long-run estimates, using both fixed effect and ARDL models, show that house prices positively and significantly influence on the GRDP and vice versa. Together with these results, the findings of ARDL-ECM imply that there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between house prices and regional economic variables even if there is a possibility of short-run deviation from its long-run path.

Under the WTO system, direct export support system that provides financial and tax related support is altogether prohibited. This presented an obstacle in strengthening competitiveness of Korean export business and in increasing exports continuously. One of the methods used to solve this problem was to actively leverage export insurance. In Korea, export insurance services have been conducted by the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (k-sure) to promote export. Korea has been among the world's active users of the export insurance system. Given this situation, this paper examines the effectiveness of the Korea export insurance system in the promotion of export. In particular, this study analyzed about discriminating effects of the export insurance on the export of big and small-medium business. In order to analyze, We introduce a Export Supply Function model. In this paper, We construct two model. The one is about big business, the other is small-medium business. For empirical analysis, unit-root test was conducted to understand the safety of time series. The results show that all variables are not I(0) time series. Instead, they are I(1) time series. To this, cointegration verification was conducted based on the use of Johansen verification method to define the existence (or non-existence) of long-term balance relationship among variables. The results come out as follows. The export insurance of big business has a stronger effect on export than that of small-medium business. The cause of these results is due to the distinct structure of Korea industries. In view of the fact that the insurance can make the risk decreased. We can say that the export insurance affects the export of a high-risk country.

The objective of this study is to estimate highway trip demand functions in Korea. In order to estimate them, I propose various socio-economic variables that affect the highway trip demand functions. I use the unit root test for each variable and the cointegration test to and the relationships among variables. Finally, I use the vector error correction model, to get the highway trip demand functions. The implication which I derive from the estimation is that real GDP and highway tolls have positive and negative effects, respectively. on the highway trip demand.

This papers studies the causalities and effects on the relationship between international trade and economic growth in China for the period of 1950-2007, using the unit root test, the Granger causality test, the cointegration test, VAR model, and VECM. The results of this study are as follows: Firstly, in the unit root test, I found that each time series was unstable one that has unit root. Secondly, in the Granger Causality test, this papers shows that variable dlexp and dlinp influence on dlgdp and dlgdd, while bilateral causality relation between dlexp and dlgdp, dlexp and dlgdd for the whole period, for the whole period, pre-reform period and post-reform period. Thirdly, there is no cointegraion relation between lgdp(or dlgdp, lgdd, dlgdd) and lexp, linp for lgdd-limp in the whole period, and pre-reform period, while no cointegration relation for the post-reform period. Finally, in the impulse-response test, it was proved that lgdp represents (-) correlation with lexp for the whole period. Thorough the variance decomposition test, it was proved that linp(or dlinp) is the most affected variable of the each data and relation between linp(or dlinp) and lexp(or dlexp) has become bigger recently.

This paper compares long term equilibrium relation of KOSPI 200 which is underling stock and its futures by using general method fractional cointegration instead of existing integer cointegration. Existence of integer cointegration between two price time series gives much wider information about long term equilibrium relation. These details grasp long term equilibrium relation of two price time series as well as reverting velocity to equilibrium by observing difference coefficient of error term when it renounces from equilibrium relation. The result of this study reveals existence of long term equilibrium relation between KOSPI200 and futures which follow fractional cointegration. Difference coefficient, d, of 'two price time series error term' satisfies 0 < d < 1/2 beside bandwidth parameter, m(173). It means two price time series follow stationary long memory process. This also means impulse effects to balance price of two price time series decrease gently within hyperbolic rate decay. It indicates reverting speed of error term is very low when it bolts from equilibrium. It implies to market maker, who is willing to make excess return with arbitrage trading and hedging risk using underling stock, how invest strategy should be changed. It also insinuates that information transition between KOSPI 200 Index market and futures market does not working efficiently.

This paper is to explore the relationship between the San-Nong expenditure and Quality of life of rural residents in China for the period of 1978-2013, using the unit root test, the Granger causality test, the cointegration test, VAR model, and VECM. The results of a study on the relationship between two variables show that an obvious mutually causal relationship exits between the financial expenditure for San-Nong(san) and gross output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery(apro) in China. But the case of per capita ploor space of newly built residential buildings in rural area(rho) and per capita consumption expenditure of rural households(rli) show that the financial expenditure for San-Nong(san) press for improvement in the quality of life of rural residence, while rho and rli have not yet apparent effect to san. On the other hand, It showed that the financial expenditure for San-Nong(san) and the number of medical personnel(prdo) do not have a causal relationship with each other. Therefore, the government needs to find ways for a variety of San-Nong expenditure to improve the quality of life of rural residents.

This study analyzes the relationship between shipping profit and market return in the tramp trade from January 2000 to October 2014. First, we carry out the causality test and find a causal relationship between the studied variables. Second, the estimates from the Johansen cointegration test show that shipping profit is cointegrated with market return, which implies that a long-run relationship exists among the variables. The empirical results thus imply that shipping firms need diverse risk management strategies.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 금융자산, 특히 회사채와 주식이 인플레이션과 관련하여 어떠한 행태를 보이는가를 실증적으로 살펴본다. 1976년부터 1992년까지의 기간중 채권 및 주식수익률에 피서가설이 성립하는가의 여부, 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션과 관련된 Fama의 허구성가설 및 Geske & Roll의 역인과성가설 등을 공적분관계검정 및 VAR모형의 예측오차 분산분해등을 통하여 포괄적으로 결정한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 다음과 같은 순서로 진행하였다. 첫째, 단순정태회귀분석을 통하여 우리나라 금융시장에서 주식이나 채권이 기대된 인플레이션이나 예상치 못했던 인플레이션에 대해 얼마나 인플레이션방어수단으로 유효한지를 살펴보았다. 우선, 회사채수익률의 경우 피서가설의 성립을 기각하기 어려웠다. 반면, 주식의 경우에는 피서가설이 성립될 수 없음은 물론이고, 대부분의 선진국가들처럼 기대인플레이션에 주식수익률이 만대방향으로 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 주식수익률을 설명하는 변수에 예상되는 산업생산증가나 통화량증가를 나타내는 변수들을 추가하여도 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션간의 부의 관계는 여전히 유의적인 것으로 남아있었다. 따라서 파마의 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션간의 허위관계가설은 우리나라 주식시장에서는 적용되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 단순정태분석에서 활용된 여러 회귀식들이 가성적회귀관계(假性的回歸關係)를 나타내는 경우를 확인하기 위하여 공적분관계가 형성되는지를 검정하였다. 그 결과, 회사채수익률과 인플레이션은 공적분관계가설이 기각되지 않았으나, 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션간에는 공적분관계가 나타나지 않았다. 공적분관계에 입각하여 오차수정모형을 추정한 결과, 회사채수익률의 변화는 단기적인 인플레이션의 동태를 예측하는데 있어서 도움을 주지만, 기대인플레이션 및 예상산업생산증가률의 변화는 주식실질수익률의 단기적 동해예측에 개별적으로는 도움이 되지 못하였다. 마지막으로 여러 변수들의 관계를 사전적으로 설정하지 않고 VAR 모형의 오차분해를 통하여 인과관제를 분석한 결과, 주식수익률과 기대인플레이션이 허구적(虛構的)인 관계가 아님을 시사하고 있다. 그러나, 주식수익률변동은 예상산업생산증가에 의하여 어느정도 설명이 가능하고 대부분의 경제변수에 대하여는 외생적인 성격을 강하게 보여주고 있어서, 기대인플레이션과의 인과관계에 있어서도 선행적인 위치를 지지하고 있다.

This research applies an panel data stationarity and stochastic convergence test developed by Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2005), which has the advantage of considering multiple structural breaks and the presence of cross-section dependence in order to investigate the hypothesis that relative emission $CO_2$ per capita stochastically converge for 11 Asian countries from 1971~2007. We find that relative emission $CO_2$ per capita is stationary after the structural breaks and cross-section dependence are introduced into the model. We also investigate whether Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis exists in 11 Asian countries. For EKC test, using the panel cointegration tests of Banerjee and Carrion-i-Silvestre (2006) and Westerlund and Edgerton(2007), we find that relative emission $CO_2$ per capita and relative GDP per capita are cointegrated. However EKC hypothesis in 11 Asian countries is not supported.
