We examine the hypothesis of nonlinear rental price convergence using relative rental price index of three major cities of Turkey namely, Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara span from the period from January 1994 to February 2010. Our results indicate that all cities exhibit rental price convergence towards its national mean level for the period of January 1994 to December 2004. In contrast, none of the cities show evidence of convergence from January 2005 to February 2010. The evidence clearly shows rental price divergence in Turkish property market. Santruka Darbe tikrinama triju pagrindiniu Turkijos miestu — Stambulo, Izmiro ir Ankaros — netiesines rentos kainu konvergencijos hipoteze nuo 1994 m. sausio men. iki 2010 m. vasario men., taikant santykini rentos kainu indeksa. Tyrimu rezultatai rodo, kad nuo 1994 m. sausio men. iki 2004 m. gruodžio men. visuose miestuose rentos kainos artejo prie vidutinio nacionalinio lygio. Priešingai, tokios konvergencijos irodymu negauta ne vieno miesto atžvilgiu nuo 2005 m. sausio men. iki 2010 m. vasario men. Faktai aiškiai rodo Turkijos nekilnojamojo turto rinkos rentos kainu divergencija.

This paper studies the dynamic behaviour of transportation price in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah from 2004 to 2015 using disaggregated monthly price data of consumer price index (CPI). For that, unit root tests and cointegration tests with structural breaks are incorporated. The findings indicated that (i) both Zivot and Andrews unit root test and Perron unit root test provided fairly similar results; most of the break points occurred in 2008, (ii) the variables cointegrate in the Johansen cointegration test which indicates that there is a long-run relationship and (iii) the Gregory and Hansen test also demonstrated some form of cointegration with structural break(s), especially in 2008. Overall, this study intends to match the structural break points with the comparable critical economic events
