TESTING THE VALIDITY OF WAGNER'S LAW IN BOLIVIA: A COINTEGRATION AND CAUSALITY ANALYSIS WITH DISAGGREGATED DATA

Nine versions of Wagner's law are examined employing annual time-series data on Bolivia for the period 1940-2010. The analysis is an advance over previous work in several ways. First, the stationarity properties and the order of integration of the data are investigated using the Augmented Dicke...
