This paper suggests a combination procedure to exploit the imperfect correlation of cointegration tests to develop a more powerful meta test. To exemplify, we combine Engle and Granger (1987) and Johansen (1988) tests. Either of these underlying tests can be more powerful than the other one...

We use recent advances in multiple testing to identify the countries for which Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) held over the last century. The approach controls the multiplicity problem inherent in simultaneously testing for PPP on several time series, thereby avoiding spurious rejections. It has...

This paper proposes a new panel unit root test based on Simes' [Biometrika 1986, An Improved Bonferroni Procedure for Multiple Tests of Significance] classical intersection test. The test is robust to general patterns of cross-sectional dependence and yet straightforward to implement, only...

Microarrays enable to measure the expression levels of tens of thousands of genes simultaneously. One important statistical question in such experiments is which of the several thousand genes are differentially expressed. Answering this question requires methods that can deal with multiple...
