''Fractional cointegration in the consumption and income relationship using semiparametric techniques''
( 2004, Vol. 3 No.47 )
 
 
This paper deals with the issue of the Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH) and we show that consumption and income may be fractionally cointegrated. We use a semiparametric frequency domain procedure of Robinson (1995a), and the results show that the UK and the Japanese consumption and income are related in the long run throughout a fractional model.
