(xtunitroot fisher)

Ho: All the panels have unit roots H1: At least one panel does not have unit roots (N finite), or some panels do not have unit roots (N → ∞) Allows unbalanced panels and gaps in any panel Performs Dickey-Fuller or Phillips-Perron test for each panel Combines p-values from the panel specific unit root tests Four different tests reported in the output. All tests are for T → ∞ P is for finite N Z, L*, and PM are are valid for N finite or infinite
