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

Cross-sectional dependence robust block bootstrap panel unit root tests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the issue of unit root testing in cross-sectionally dependent panels and consider panels that may be characterized by various forms of cross-sectional dependence including (but not exclusive to) the popular common factor framework.

Does Energy Efficiency Promote Economic Growth? Evidence from a Multicountry and Multisectoral Panel Dataset☆
Ashish Rajbhandari,Fan Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: This article examined the causal relationship between energy efficiency and economic growth based on panel data for 56 high and middle-income economies from 1978 to 2012 and found evidence of a long-run Granger causality from economic growth to lower energy intensity for all economies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors mainly compared different effects of political stability, corruption control and rule of law on CO2 emissions across 65 belt and road initiative countries from 2000-2016, and showed that institutional factors such as political stability and corruption control are highly important in lowering carbon emissions and improving environmental quality.

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.
