This paper proposes various double unit root tests for cross-sectionally dependent panel data. The cross-sectional correlation is handled by the projection method [P.C.B. Phillips and D. Sul, Dynamic panel estimation and homogeneity testing under cross section dependence, Econom. J. 6 (2003),...

Semiparametric extensions of the seasonal unit root tests for the model of Dickey et al. (1984, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 79, 355) are proposed. Development of semiparametric extensions based on the ordinary least-squares estimator (OLSE) is impossible for the regression of Dickey et al. (1984)...

A robust sign test is proposed for testing unit roots in cross-sectionally dependent panel data. Large sample Gaussian null asymptotics of the test are established under (fixed N, large T) and, for serially uncorrelated error cases, under (large N, fixed T), where N is the number of panel units...

A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach, called a reversible jump MCMC, is employed in model selection and parameter estimation for possibly non-stationary and non-linear time series data. The non-linear structure is modelled by the asymmetric momentum threshold autoregressive process (MTAR)...

Bayesian analysis of panel data using a class of momentum threshold autoregressive (MTAR) models is considered. Posterior estimation of parameters of the MTAR models is done by using a simple Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Selection of appropriate differenced variables, test for...
