Spurious regression analysis in panel data when the time series are cross-section dependent is analyzed in the paper. We show that consistent estimation of the long-run average parameter is possible once we control for cross-section dependence using cross-section averages in the spirit of the...

The paper proposes statistics to test the null hypothesis of no cointegration in panel data when common factors drive the cross sectional dependence. We consider both the case in which regressors are independent of the common factors and the case in which regressors are correlated with the...
