Is the consumption-income ratio stationary? Evidence from linear and nonlinear panel unit root tests for OECD and non-OECD countries by Cerrato, Mario, Peretti, Christian de, Stewart, Chris

“…This extends evidence provided in the recent literature to consider both linear and nonlinear adjustment in panel unit root tests, to addresst he issue of cross-sectional dependence, and to substantially expand both time-series and cross sectional dimensions of the data analysed. We find that the majority (65%) of the series are nonstationary with slightly fewer OECD countries’ (61%) series exhibiting a unit root than non-OECD countries (68%).…”
