Simple Tests for Cointegration in Dependent Panels with Structural Breaks∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops two very simple tests for the null hypothesis of no cointegration in panel data. The tests are general enough to allow for heteroskedastic and serially correlated errors, unit specific time trends, cross-sectional dependence and an unknown structural break in both the intercept and slope of the cointegrated regression, which may be located at different dates for different units. The limiting distributions of the tests are derived, and are found to be normal and free of nuisance parameters under the null. A small simulation study is also conducted to investigate the small-sample properties of the tests. In our empirical application, we provide new evidence concerning the purchasing power parity hypothesis. JEL Classification: C12; C32; C33; F40.

Cointegration Testing in Dependent Panels with Breaks
In this paper we propose panel cointegration tests allowing for breaks and cross-section dependence based on the Continuos-Path Block bootstrap. Simulation evidence shows that the proposed panel tests have satisfactory size and power properties, hence improving considerably on asymptotic tests applied to individual series. As an empirical illustration we examined investment and saving for a pan...
متن کاملExchange Rate and Stock Price Interaction in Major Asian Markets: Evidence for Individual Countries and Panels Allowing for Structural Breaks
This paper examines the relationship between exchange rates and stock prices in eight Asian countries using cointegration and Granger causality tests over the period 1991 to 2005. We test for cointegration and Granger causality for both individual countries using the Gregory and Hansen (1996) cointegration test that accommodates a structural break in the cointegrating vector, and for a panel us...
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 کاملSimple tests for the null of no cointegration with structural breaks
In this paper, a synthesis of the recently advanced Lagrange multiplier (LM)-based tests for the null of no cointegration which account for different patterns of breaks in the cointegrating relationship is provided. The limiting distributions of the test statistics are not only invariant to an intercept break and a break in the cointegrating vector, but are also invariant to a trend break in a ...
متن کاملTesting for cointegration in dependent panels via residual-based bootstrap methods
We address the issue of panel cointegration testing in dependent panels, showing by simulations that tests based on the stationary bootstrap deliver good size and power performances even with small time and cross-section sample sizes and allowing for a break at a known date. They can thus be an empirically important alternative to asymptotic methods based on the estimation of common factors. Po...
