In spite of the increased use of factor-augmented regressions in recent years, little is knownregarding the relative merits of the two main approaches to estimation and inference, namely, thecross-sectional average and principal components estimators. As a response to this, the currentpaper...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In this paper we investigate the validity of the univariate autoregressive sieve bootstrap appliedto time series panels characterized by general forms of cross-sectional dependence, including butnot restricted to cointegration. Using the final equations approach we show that while it ispossible...

With the development of real-time databases, N vintages are available for T observations instead of a single realization of the time series process. Although the use of panel unit root tests with the aim to gain in efficiency seems obvious, empirical and simulation results shown in this paper...

Panel unit root and no-cointegration tests that rely on cross-sectional independence of the panel unit experience severe size distortions when this assumption is violated, as has e.g. been shown by Banerjee, Marcellino and Osbat (2004, 2005) via Monte Carlo simulations. Several studies have...

In this paper we consider the issue of unit root testing in cross-sectionally dependent panels. We consider panels that may be characterized by various forms of cross-sectionaldependence including (but not exclusive to) the popular common factor framework. Weconsider block bootstrap versions of...
