Is Per Capita Real GDP Stationary?
) (Department of Banking and Finance, Tamkang University, Taipei Taiwan) Abstract In this study we use a more powerful nonlinear (logistic) unit root test advanced by Leybourne et al. (1998) to investigate the time-series propertities of per capita real GDP for 26 selected African countries for the period 1960-2000. We strongly reject the null of unit root process for over one-third the countries. These empirical results have important policy implications for selected African countries.
