Abstract:
This paper re-examines the issue of long-run monetary neutrality by using fractional integration and allowing for a possible structural break in six countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Argentina. We use an extension of Fisher and Seater’s (1993) reduced-form test recently proposed by Bae, Jensen and Murdock (2005). The results show that long-run monetary neutrality holds for five countries when no structural breaks
