This paper applies conventional panel unit root tests and panel stationarity tests with and without structural breaks to examine the time series properties of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita for a panel of eight Pacific Island economies. The panel unit root and panel stationarity tests without structural breaks suggest that for the panel as a whole real GDP per capita contains a un...

in this paper, we analyze the dynamics of income gap between 138 countries with usa by using time series model of convergence hypothesis and various panel unit root tests over period 1950-2008. all panel unit root tests don’t reject the null hypothesis of unit root. univariate unit root tests results show that gdp per capita of south korea, switzerland, austria, lesoto and hungry catch up with ...

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...

A panel data approach to price-value correlations Abstract Resorting to stationary and non-stationary panel data econometrics we o¤er tests for "Ricardo's 93% theory of value" for 10 OECD countries over di¤erent time ranges. The theory does not …nd empirical support. unit root tests, panel cointegration tests.
