XTFISHER: Stata module to compute Fisher type unit root test for panel data

Scott Merryman ()

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: xtfisher combines the p-values from N independent unit root tests, as developed by Maddala and Wu (1999). Based on the p-values of individual unit root tests, Fisher's test assumes that all series are non-stationary under the null hypothesis against the alternative that at least one series in the panel is stationary. Unlike the Im-Pesaran-Shin (1997) test (ipshin or xtunitroot ips), Fisher's test does not require a balanced panel. Users of Stata 11+ should see the official xtunitroot fisher command.
