Robust Unit Root and Cointegration Rank Tests for Panels and Large Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: This study develops new tests for unit roots and cointegration rank in heterogeneous time series panels using methods that are robust to the presence of both incidental trends and cross sectional dependency of unknown form. Furthermore, the procedures do not require a choice of lag truncation or bandwidth to accommodate higher order serial correlation. The cointegration rank tests can also be implemented in relatively large dimensioned systems of equations for which conventional VECM based tests become infeasible. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the procedures have high power and good size properties even in panels with relatively small dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Testing for cointegration in high-dimensional systems
This paper considers cointegration tests for dynamic systems where the number of variables is large relative to the sample size. Typical examples include tests for unit roots in panels where the units are linked by complicated dynamic relationships. It is well known that conventional cointegration tests based on a parametric (vector autoregressive) representation of the system break down if the...

This paper provides a review of the literature on unit roots and cointegration in panels where the time dimension (T ), and the cross section dimension (N) are relatively large. It distinguishes between the rst generation tests developed on the assumption of the cross section independence, and the second generation tests that allow, in a variety of forms and degrees, the dependence that might ...

متن کاملAsymptotic 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 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 ...
