Three classes of structural change tests (or tests for parameter instability) that have been receiving much attention in both the statistics and the econometrics communities but have been developed in rather loosely connected lines of research are unified by embedding them into the framework of...

This paper presents results on the size and power of first generation panel unit root and stationarity tests obtained from a large scale simulation study. The tests developed in the following papers are included: Levin et al. (2002), Harris and Tzavalis (1999), Breitung (2000), Im et al. (1997,...

This article presents results concerning the performance of both single equation and system panel cointegration tests and estimators. The study considers the tests developed in Pedroni (1999, 2004), Westerlund (2005), Larsson et al. (2001), and Breitung (2005) and the estimators developed in...
