Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 經濟學系 === 85 === Since Fisher (1930) introduced Fisher equation,many works had been focused on tests of the Fisher effect.Following Mishkin (1992),this thesis attempts to test whether Fisher effects exists Taiwan and U.S.A. by using two methods which are thecointegration methodology of Engle and Granger (1987) and the real interestrate''s regression.What is different is that we introduce ARFIMA (AutoRegressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Average)model.We use the data of Taiwan and what is used by Mishkin (1992).The results shown that Fisher effect does not exist for Taiwan''s data,while it exists for US data by utilizingthe cointegration methodology.The latter is due to that real interest rate is meanreverting and nominal interest rate and inflation rate are ''fractional cointegrated".This is not considered in Mishkin (1992).By using the real interest rate''s regressions we find real interestrate and nominal interest only have weak poistive correlation,while real interestrate and inflation have strong correlation in American data.
