Cross-Country Interest Rate Trends: The Case of European Countries
Öz
In this study, we investigate the co-movements in interest rates for 16 European countries. For this purpose, we analyze the time series properties of short-term and long-term interest rates, both real and nominal. The evidence suggests that there is some degree of co-integration for the interest rates between European Countries. The number of countries that are co-integrated gets larger as we turn our attention from long-term interest rates to short-term interest rates. However, as we turn our attention from nominal interest rates to real interest rates the number of country pairs that are co-integrated gets smaller. When we investigate for common features, no common feature is found to exist between any of the country pairs investigated.
