This paper examines whether, in addition to standard unit root and cointegration tests, panel approaches also produce test statistics behaving erratically when applied to tests for PPP. We show that if appropriate tests (which are robust to cross-sectional dependence and more powerful than...

Present paper considers structural break in panel AR(1) model which allows instability in mean, variance and autoregressive coefficient. This model is extension of univariate model proposed by Meligkotsiduo et al. (2004) and review of existing panel data time series model considering break...

Applying the new panel unit root test developed in this paper, we can overcome the pitfalls of old-fashioned panel unit root tests and makes it possible for researchers testing individual series for a unit root while taking contemporaneous cross-sectional dependence into account. The proposed...

We used panel data analysis to evaluate the relative purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis of the ten ASEAN member countries between 1973 and 2015. We incorporated the cross-sectionally augmented panel unit root test as proposed by Pesaran (J Appl Econ 22:265-312, 2007). For panel...
