Unit roots: Identification and testing in micro panels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a number of unit root tests for micro panels where the number of individuals is typically large, but the number of time periods is often very small. As we discuss, the presence of a unit root is closely related to the identification of parameters of interest in this context. Calculations of asymptotic local power and Monte Carlo evidence indicate that two simple t-tests based on ordinary least squares estimators perform particularly well. JEL Classification: C12, C23

Jörg Breitung and M. Hashem Pesaran Unit Roots and Cointegration in Panels
This paper provides a review of the literature on unit roots and cointegration in panels where the time dimension (T ), and the cross section dimension (N) are relatively large. It distinguishes between the rst generation tests developed on the assumption of the cross section independence, and the second generation tests that allow, in a variety of forms and degrees, the dependence that might ...

متن کاملTesting for Unit Roots in Small Panels with Short-run and Long-run Cross-sectional Dependencies
An IV approach, using as instruments nonlinear transformations of the lagged levels, is explored to test for unit roots in panels with general dependency and heterogeneity across cross-sectional units. We allow not only for the cross-sectional dependencies of innovations, but also for the presence of cointegration across cross-sectional levels. Unbalanced panels and panels with differing indivi...
متن کاملTesting for seasonal unit roots in monthly panels of time series
We consider the problem of testing for seasonal unit roots in monthly panel data. To this aim, we generalize the quarterly CHEGY test to the monthly case. This parametric test is contrasted with a new nonparametric test, which is the panel counterpart to the univariate RURS test that relies on counting extrema in time series. All methods are applied to an empirical data set on tourism in Austri...
متن کاملTesting for unit roots in panels by using a mixture model
This paper introduces a dynamic panel data model with exogenous variables where the dynamic behavior is allowed to differ between cross-section units. The framework is a mixture model obtained by mixing two regression model with different paramters according to some mixing weights. The parameters in the model are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood, and it is shown that the maximum li...
