## Abstract Recently, considerable emphasis has been placed on the problems arising out of crossโsectional dependence in panel unit root tests. This paper adopts the factorโbased crossโsectional dependence paradigm of Bai and Ng (2005) but suggests alternative factor extraction methods. Some theore

Abstract
This paper studies the performance of panel unit root tests when spatial effects are present that account for crossโsection correlation. Monte Carlo simulations show that there can be considerable size distortions in panel unit root tests when the true specification exhibits spatial error correlation. These tests are applied to a panel data set on net real income from the 1000 largest French communes observed over the period 1985โ1998. Copyright ยฉ 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract A number of panel unit root tests that allow for crossโsection dependence have been proposed in the literature that use orthogonalization type procedures to asymptotically eliminate the crossโdependence of the series before standard panel unit root tests are applied to the transformed s
Recently, there have been many studies that apply the panel unit-root test of to support the validity of long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) for industrial countries. This paper applies two recently developed panel unit-root tests, provided by Im et al. (1995) and , respectively, to re-examine t
## Abstract Unit root tests, seeking mean or trend reversion, are frequently applied to panel data. We show that more powerful variants of commonly applied tests are readily available. Moreover, power gains persist when the modifications are applied to bootstrap procedures that may be employed when
