چکیده

This paper analyzes an approach to correcting spurious regressions involving unit-root nonstationary variables by generalized least squares (GLS) using asymptotic theory. This analysis leads to a new robust estimator and a new test for dynamic regressions. The robust estimator is consistent for structural parameters not just when the regression error is stationary but also when it is unit-root nonstationary under certain conditions. We also develop a Hausman-type test for the null hypothesis of cointegration for dynamic ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation. We demonstrate our estimation and testing methods in three applications: (i) long-run money demand in the U.S., (ii) output convergence among industrial and developing countries, and (iii) purchasing power parity (PPP) for traded and non-traded goods. r 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Structural 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...

Cointegration 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 ...

Identication Robust Inference in Cointegrating Regressions

In cointegrating regressions, available estimators and test statistics are nuisance parameter dependent. This paper addresses this problem as an identi…cation failure. We focus on set estimation of long-run coe¢ cients (denoted ). We check whether and to what degree popular estimation methods, speci…cally the Maximum Likelihood of Johansen (1995), Fully Modi…ed OLS [Phillips and Hansen (1990); ...

Spurious regression and residual-based tests for cointegration in panel data

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, ...
