Fisher hypothesis: East Asian evidence from panel unit root tests

Abstract

This study provides evidence supportive of Fisher hypothesis in East Asian economies using panel unit root tests, which allow for cross-country variations in the estimation. Among others, one important implication is that monetary policy will be more effective in influencing long-term interest rates and long-run macroeconomic stability in these East Asian economies under regional collaboration.Fisher hypothesis; panel unit root; univariate unit root; East Asian
