Hi! How do I fix both serial and cross-section auto correlation in panel date at the same time? I run a fixed effects model with PSCE errors (takes care of cross-sectional autocorrelation), and...

I only have 28 observations for a regression, while the minimum is often said to be 30. Is that ok anyway, and are there any extra security measures I can take, such as more stern application of...

Like the title says - where do I put exogenous variables in a panel ARDL model - in the long-run or short-run equation? I want to control for world war one, which means either impulse dummies for...

Hi! I want to mix stationary and non stationary panel data in an error correction and for cointegration. In a non-panel data setting, this is done with ARDL ECM, where a significant EC and...

Hi! According to Sjö (2011), https://www.iei.liu.se/nek/730A16/filarkiv/1.307105/Dfdistab8.pdf, the Pantula principle should first start with a constant and a trend, and then work its way towards...

Hi! I would like to have an opinion on something, rather than a straight-out answer, so to speak. In time-series econometrics, it is common to present both long-term coefficients from the...

Does a variable have to be I(1) to be cointegrated in levels with another I(1) variable, or can it be I(2)? I'm using the Phillips-Oularis method, and I'm only interested in the long-run...

Two questions on the Engle-Granger method of cointegration. 1: Should I use the Pantula method for trend specification for EG cointegration? Intuitively, it seems better to go from top to bottom -...

Hi! Is it valid to use the Bai-Perron test to detect a structural break in the constant in a regression with non-stationary variables, and then use the break dates as step dummies in an...

How do I interpret the results from a redundant variable test (EViews)? The odd thing is that it cannot reject the null of a variable with a significant coeffecient (p-value 0.0277) to be...

I have read that it's relatively unproblematic to include dummy variables (for structural breaks for instance) in ARDL cointegration. How is this done? I have included them simply as independent...

I'm testing out the Pesaran (2000) method for including exogenous variables in cointegration. It says it assumes weak exogeneity of the exogenous variable. Do I have to test for that - even if...

Well? Does all variables in a VAR/VEC need to be normally distributed, or only the target variable? It is very hard to get all of them to meet criteria of normality without deleting too many outliers.
