The paper features an examination of the link between the behaviour of oil prices and DowJones Index in a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) framework.The attraction of NARDL is that it represents the simplest method available of modelling combined short- and long-run asymmetries.The bounds tes
