Unemployment and real oil prices in Australia: a fractionally cointegrated approach

Author

Listed:
  • Luis Gil-Alana

Abstract

The article examines the relationship between unemployment and real oil prices in Australia using fractionally cointegrated techniques. Using a two-step procedure based on the univariate tests of Robinson, the results show that both variables are fractionally cointegrated, with the long-run equilibrium errors being nonstationary but mean reverting.
