The Power of PANIC

Westerlund, Joakim LU (2015) In Journal of Econometrics 185(2). p.495-509
Abstract
The current paper considers the asymptotic local power of second-generation panel

unit root tests that are robust to the presence of cross-section dependence in the form

of common factors. As a basis for our analysis, we take the PANIC approach of Bai

and Ng (A PANIC Attack on Unit Roots and Cointegration, Econometrica 72, 1127–1177,

2004; Panel Unit Root Tests with Cross-Section Dependence: A Further Investigation.

Econometric Theory 26, 1088–1114, 2010), which is one of the single most popular and

general second-generation approaches around.
