A number of panel unit root tests that allow for cross section dependence have been proposed in the literature, notably by Bai and Ng (2002), Moon and Perron (2003) and Phillips and Sul (2002) who use orthogonalization type procedures to asymptotically eliminate the cross dependence of the...

In this paper we provide simulation and theoretical results concerning the finite sample theory of QML estimators in ARCH models when we include an exogenous variable in the conditional variance equation. In this setting, we find theoretical and simulation support to suggest that if we consider...

A Monte Carlo experiment is undertaken to examine the small sample properties of three alternative estimators of a bivariate probit model with selection. The three estimators are the censored probit estimator, single-equation probit applied to the selected sub-sample and single-equation probit...
