Abstract :
In this paper we propose an artificial neural network (ANN) based panel unit root test, extending neural test to a dynamic heterogeneous panel context, and following the panel methodology. New asymptotic results are obtained both for the individual ANN-t test statistics for unit root, and the panel unit root test statistic. An application to a panel of bilateral real exchange rate series with the US Dollar from the 20 major OECD countries is provided.
