演講摘要 : Although conventional analysis of the linkages among interest rates has long relied on the linear cointegration approach, in this paper we argue that the conventional approach may not at all be appropriate since significant evidence to support threshold cointegration between different pairs of interest rates is found. With a threshold error-correction model, our empirical evidence supports the German dominance hypothesis for 2 out of 5 EMS countries. The violation of this hypothesis is presumably on account of abnormal changes in domestic interest rates.
