A simple panel unit root test in the presence of cross-section dependence
TLDR
In this paper, a simple alternative where the standard ADF regressions are augmented with the cross section averages of lagged levels and first-differences of the individual series is proposed, and it is shown that the individual CADF statistics are asymptotically similar and do not depend on the factor loadings.Abstract:
A number of panel unit root tests that allow for cross section dependence have been proposed in the literature that use orthogonalization type procedures to asymptotically eliminate the cross dependence of the series before standard panel unit root tests are applied to the transformed series. In this paper we propose a simple alternative where the standard ADF regressions are augmented with the cross section averages of lagged levels and first-differences of the individual series. New asymptotic results are obtained both for the individual CADF statistics, and their simple averages. It is shown that the individual CADF statistics are asymptotically similar and do not depend on the factor loadings. The limit distribution of the average CADF statistic is shown to exist and its critical values are tabulated. Small sample properties of the proposed test are investigated by Monte Carlo experiments. The proposed test is applied to a panel of 17 OECD real exchange rate series as well as to log real earnings of households in the PSID data.read more

Electricity Consumption–Economic Growth–CO2 Emissions Nexus in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Evidence from Panel Cointegration
TL;DR: In this article, the causal relationship among electricity consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions for a group of 14 sub-Sahara African (SSA) countries from 1980 to 2009 using panel cointegration and panel vector error correction modelling methods was explored.

What do we Really Know about Fiscal Sustainability in the EU? A Panel Data Diagnostic
TL;DR: The authors assess the sustainability of public finances in the EU-15 over the period 1970-2006 using stationarity and cointegration analysis using panel unit root tests of the first and second generation allowing in some cases for structural breaks.

Global estimation of mortality, disability-adjusted life years and welfare cost from exposure to ambient air pollution.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ambient air pollution has a significant impact on economic development (welfare cost) and health outcomes (mortality, premature deaths, and DALYs) and this study demonstrates that China is the most vulnerable to economic burden.

The nexus between financial inclusion and economic development: Comparison of old and new EU member countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of financial inclusion and trade openness on the economic development of 27 European Union (EU) nations, and found that access, depth, efficiency, and the overall development of financial institutions have significant positive impact on economic growth in both the full sample and sub-samples.

Is energy consumption in the transport sector hampering both economic growth and the reduction of CO 2 emissions? A disaggregated energy consumption analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the interactions between transport sector energy consumption, by source, growth and CO2 emissions were analyzed using a panel for 15 OECD countries with annual data from 1995 to 2014, and the short and long-run effects were analyzed by using a ARDL approach with DK-FE estimator.

Testing for a Unit Root in Time Series Regression
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed new tests for detecting the presence of a unit root in quite general time series models, which accommodate models with a fitted drift and a time trend so that they may be used to discriminate between unit root nonstationarity and stationarity about a deterministic trend.

Testing for unit roots in heterogeneous panels
TL;DR: In this article, a unit root test for dynamic heterogeneous panels based on the mean of individual unit root statistics is proposed, which converges in probability to a standard normal variate sequentially with T (the time series dimension) →∞, followed by N (the cross sectional dimension)→∞.

Unit root tests in panel data: asymptotic and finite-sample properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider pooling cross-section time series data for testing the unit root hypothesis, and they show that the power of the panel-based unit root test is dramatically higher, compared to performing a separate unit-root test for each individual time series.

Time series analysis
TL;DR: A ordered sequence of events or observations having a time component is called as a time series, and some good examples are daily opening and closing stock prices, daily humidity, temperature, pressure, annual gross domestic product of a country and so on.
