The Asymptotic Distribution of the CADF Unit Root Test in the Presence of Heterogeneous AR(p) Errors

Westerlund, Joakim LU (2016) In Statistical Papers 57(2). p.303-317
Abstract
The CADF test of Pesaran (A Simple Panel Unit Root Test in Presence of Cross-Section

Dependence, Journal of Applied Econometrics 22, 265–312, 2007) are among the most popular

univariate tests for cross-section correlated panels around. Yet, the existing asymptotic

analysis of this test statistic is limited to a model in which the errors are assumed to

follow a simple AR(1) structure with homogenous autoregressive coefficients. One reason

for this is that the model involves an intricate identification issue, as both the serial

and cross-section correlation structures of the errors are unobserved. The purpose of the

current paper is to tackle this issue and in so doing extend the... (More)
