This paper presents a family of simple nonparametric unit root tests indexed by one parameter, d, and containing Breitung's (2002) test as the special case d = 1. It is shown that (i) each member of the family with d 0 is consistent, (ii) the asymptotic distribution depends on d, and thus...

Central limit theorems are developed for instrumental variables estimates of linear and semi-parametric partly linear regression models for spatial data. General forms of spatial dependenceand heterogeneity in explanatory variables and unobservable disturbances are permitted. We discuss...
