Dear all,

this message is to inform the community about the activity in our function package repository: during the month of February 2025, 3 packages were updated to a new version and a new one was released.

The new one is

"ZivotAndrews", by myself, which implements Zivot and Andrews' famous unit-root test under structural breaks. Notably, it features a novel method for computing p-values, which is described here.

The updates were:
"paneldesc", also by myself (Basic statistics about gaps in panel datasets)
"CSDpanel", by Sven Schreiber and Jörg Breitung (test and estimators for panel datasets with cross-section dependence)
"TVC", by Ekkehart Schlicht (Regression with Time-varying coefficients using this estimator)

Moreover, a companion package to TVC, "TVCplots" was released yesterday.

As usual, update and enjoy!
