SURADF and CADF panel unit root tests allowing for cross sectional dependence are used to determine whether output fluctuations are permanent or transitory. Contrary to the traditional view of business cycle, we find econometric evidence supporting the idea that the output fluctuations in MENA region are mostly permanent. These results also emphasize that the effectiveness of stabilization policies aimed at real output by the government should be reviewed to achieve longlasting results.</dc:description><dc:publisher>HRVATSKO DRUSTVO EKONOMISTA</dc:publisher><dc:date>2014-03</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/16574</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>0424-7558</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>EKONOMSKI PREGLED</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/16574</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
