Abstract: This article introduces the xtbunitroot command in Stata, which implements the panel data unit root tests developed by Karavias and Tzavalis (2014). These tests allow for one or two structural breaks in deterministic components of the series and can be seen as panel data counterparts of the tests by Zivot and Andrews (1992) and Lumsdaine and Papell (1997). The dates of the breaks can be known or unknown. The tests allow for intercepts and linear trends, nonnormal errors and cross-section heteroskedasticity and dependence. They have power against homogeneous and heterogeneous alternatives, and can be applied to panels with small or large time series dimensions.
