In CVS and the gretl snapshots for Windows and OS X there's now code in place for doing such testing. It's not in the GUI yet (and neither is it documented), but is implemented as an extension to the existing "adf" command. If anyone's interested in testing, I'd appreciate any comments. Here's the story. If you issue the "adf" command with panel data you get (a) a brief account of the test for each panel unit plus (b) a joint test for al units, if possible. (The per-unit test output should probably be suppressed if there's an excessive number of units in the panel, but right now you always get it.) A couple of restrictions. First, with the regular adf test for time-series data you can supply a list containing more than one series and get multiple tests, but with panel data we do only one series per command; if the input list contains more than one series we ignore all but the first one. Second, the regular adf command defaults to performing 3 variants of the test -- with constant, with linear trend, and with quadratic trend -- though you can change that via the command options. With panel data we only do one variant at a time, by default the test with constant. Some details: The joint tests have the null hypothesis that the selected series is non-stationary for all panel units; the alternative is that the series is stationary for at least one unit. The test statistics are taken from Im, Pesaran and Shin (Journal of Econometrics, 2003) and Choi (Journal of International Money and Finance, 2001). The IPS test involves computing the average value of the Dickey-Fuller t-statistic (t_bar). If the lag order for the test is non-zero, t_bar is referred to the distribution that IPS call W_tbar, which is asymptotically N(0,1). If the lag order is zero but the time-series length differs across the units, we use the IPS Z_tbar statistic, which again is N(0,1) asymptotically. If the order is zero and T is the same for all units we report exact critical values as tabulated in the IPS article. (Note that the IPS test cannot be done if the --gls option to the adf command is given. There are also constraints on the minimal T for each unit.) The other test reported (Choi) is based on the p-values from the per-unit Dickey-Fuller tests. Three variants are given: the inverse chi-square, inverse normal and logit tests. These differ in how the p-values are "aggregated" and the distribution that the resulting statistic follows. For the inverse chi-square test the null is rejected if the chi-square value is big enough; for the others it is rejected if the test statistic takes on a large enough negative value (which is also the case for all variants of the IPS test). I've tested some of this against the ipshin.ado extension that's available for stata. We're pretty close in the cases I've tried but I'm not sure that ipshin gets everything right so I'm not necessarily trying to replicate exactly it reports. If anyone can test against other IPS or Choi test implementations that would be of interest.

I must? appreciate your concern for this issue. Infact, I brought up the issue of panel unit test some while ago here. I have two major concerns; -Do I need to download the software again in a? bid to get this additional properties of Panel unit incorporated? -What about Panel Cointegration and Panel VEC/VAR?. Any idea on what the headway could be? ????????????

Once again your development work is highly correlated with my current projects ;-). I've successfully run the new command & everything seems sensible (I haven't tried other implementations so nothing to compare to). One question/suggestion though: To use the new feature, I had to create a new panel data set from an existing time series one. This was no problem given the example on p. 25 of the guide, but I was wondering if it would be possible to have something like a "--panel" option to use with a list of series. Something like list varlist = gdp cons inv adf 0 varlist --panel So you'd get the IPS & Choi tests at the end. Would that be feasible and/or have non-negligible demand?
