Mixed Signals Among Panel Cointegration Tests
نویسنده
چکیده
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. As expected, there is weaker correlation between residual and system-based tests than between tests of the same group.

Mixed Signals among Tests for Cointegration
This paper illustrates that, under the null hypothesis of no cointegration, the correlation of p–values from a single–equation residual–based test (i.e. ADF or Ẑα) with a system– based test (trace or maximum eigenvalue) is very low even as the sample size gets large. With data generating processes under the null or ‘near’ it, the two types of tests can yield virtually any combination of p–value...
متن کاملCriticalvalues for Cointegration Tests in Heterogeneous Panels with Multiple Regressors
In this paper we describe a method for testing the null of no cointegration in dynamic panels with multiple regressors and compute approximate critical values for these tests. Methods for non-stationary panels, including panel unit root and panel cointegration tests, have been gaining increased acceptance in recent empirical research. To date, however, tests for the null of no cointegration in ...
متن کاملA Meta Analytic Approach to Testing for Panel Cointegration
We propose new tests for panel cointegration by extending the panel unit root tests of Choi [2001] and Maddala and Wu [1999] to the panel cointegration case. The tests are flexible, intuitively appealing and relatively easy to compute. We investigate the finite sample behavior in a simulation study. Several variants of the tests compare favorably in terms of both size and power with other widel...

متن کاملPanel Data, Cointegration, Causality and Wagner’s Law: Empirical Evidence from Chinese Provinces
This paper tests Wagner’s law of increasing state activity using panels of Chinese provinces. The paper’s main methodological contribution is in that we employ for the first time in the literature on Wagner’s law a panel unit root, panel cointegration and Granger Causality testing approach. Overall, we find mixed evidence in support of Wagner’s law for China’s central and western provinces, but...
