This paper re-examines the validity of the monetary exchange rate model during the post-Bretton Woods era for 18 OECD countries. Our analysis simultaneously considers the presence of both cross-sectional dependence and multiple structural breaks, which have not received much attention in...

Most empirical evidence suggest that the Fisher effect, stating that inflation and nominal interest rates should cointegrate with a unit slope on inflation, does not hold, a finding at odds with many theoretical models. This paper argues that these results can be attributed in part to the low...

One of the single most cited studies within the field of nonstationary panel data analysis is that of LLC (Levin, Lin and Chu, 2002. Unit Root\linebreak Tests in Panel Data: Asymptotic and Finite Sample Properties. \emph{Journal of Econometrics} 98, 1-24), in which the authors propose a test for...

This paper proposes new error correction based cointegration tests for panel data. The limiting distributions of the tests are derived and critical values are provided. Our simulation results suggest that the tests have good small-sample properties with small size distortions and high power...

This paper considers a cointegrated panel data model with common factors. Starting from the triangular representation of the model as used by Bai et al. (2008) a Granger type representation theorem is derived. The conditional error correction representation is obtained, which is used as a basis...

This paper illustrates analytically the effects of cross-unit cointegration using as an example the conventional pooled least squares estimate in the spurious panel regression case. The results suggest that the usual result of asymptotic normality depends critically on the absence of cross-unit...

This article proposes Lagrange multiplier-based tests for the null hypothesis of no cointegration. The tests are general enough to allow for heteroskedastic and serially correlated errors, deterministic trends, and a structural break of unknown timing in both the intercept and slope. The...
