It is shown that the maximum likelihood estimator of a local to unity parameter can be consistently estimated with panel data when the cross-section observations are independent. Consistency applies when there are no deterministic trends or when there is a homogeneous deterministic trend in the...

This paper develops an asymptotic theory for residual based tests for cointegration. Attention is given to the augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and the Z(subscript "alpha") and Z(subscript "t") unit root tests. Two new tests are also introduced. The tests are shown to be asymptotically...

This paper provides a general framework which makes it possible to study the asymptotic behavior of FM regression in models with I(1) and I(0) regressors, models with unit roots, and models with only stationary regressors. This framework enables us to consider the use of FM regression in the...

This paper is concerned with model determination methods and their use in the prediction of economic time series. The methods are Bayesian but they can be justified by classical arguments as well. The paper continues some recent work on Bayesian asymptotic, develops embedding techniques for...
