Spurious regression and residual-based tests for cointegration in panel data
نویسنده
چکیده
In the first half of the paper I study spurious regressions in panel data. Asymptotic properties of the least-squares dummy variable (LSDV) estimator and other conventional statistics are examined. The asymptotics of LSDV estimator are different from those of the spurious regression in the pure time-series. This has an important consequence for residual-based cointegration tests in panel data, because the null distribution of residual-based cointegration tests depends on the asymptotics of LSDV estimator. In the second half of the paper I study residual-based tests for cointegration regression in panel data. I study Dickey—Fuller (DF) tests and an augmented Dickey—Fuller (ADF) test to test the null of no cointegration. Asymptotic distributions of the tests are derived and Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to evaluate finite sample properties of the proposed tests. ( 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.

Asymptotic and Finite Sample Properties of Pooled Time Series Tests with an Application to the Ppp Hypothesis
This paper studies asymptotic and finite sample properties of statistics devised to test for the null of no cointegration in nonstationary pooled time series panels as both the cross section and time series dimensions grow large. The paper finds that for panels with homogenous long run parameters, the spurious regression coefficient estimates become consistent even under the null of no cointegr...
متن کاملA note on power comparison of panel tests of cointegration – An application on health expenditure and GDP
This paper presents a comparison of power of panel tests of cointegration and show how the choice of most powerful test depends on the values of the sample statistics. Country-by-country and panel stationarity and cointegration tests are performed using a panel of 20 OECD countries observed over the period 1971-2004. Residual-based tests and a cointegration rank test in the system of health car...
متن کاملCointegration versus Spurious Regression and Heterogeneity in Large Panels
This paper provides an estimation and testing framework to identify the source(s) of spuriousness in a large nonstationary panel. This can be determined by two non mutually exclusive causes: pooling units neglecting the presence of heterogeneity and genuine presence of I (1) errors in some of the units. The paper proposes two tests that complement a test for the null of cointegration: one test ...
متن کاملMixed Signals Among Panel Cointegration Tests
Time series cointegration tests, even in the presence of large sample sizes, often yield conflicting conclusions (“mixed signals”) as measured by, inter alia, a low correlation of empirical p-values [see Gregory et al., 2004, Journal of Applied Econometrics]. Using their methodology, we present evidence suggesting that the problem of mixed signals persists for popular panel cointegration tests....
متن کاملStructural Spurious Regressions and A Hausman-Wu-type Cointegration Test∗
Economic models often imply that certain variables are cointegrated. However, tests often fail to reject the null hypothesis of no cointegration for these variables. One possible explanation of these test results is that the error is unit root nonstationary due to a nonstationary measurement error in one variable. For example, currency held by domestic economic agents for legitimate transaction...
