El estimaor tiene una istribución secuencial límite gausiana en la cual rimero y osteriormente N,. Simulaciones onte Carlo muestran eviencia e que las roieaes e muestra finita el estimaor son cercanas a las asintóticas. Palabras clave: cointegración, moelos anel, multiimensional.. Introuction his aer rooses an extension of the ynamic orinary least squares DOLS cointegration anel estimators of ark & Sul 003 to a three-imensional anel. he single equation DOLS for estimating an testing the cointegration hyothesis was roose by Phillis & Loretan 99, Saikkonen 99, an generalize by Stock & Watson 993. DOLS is a single-equation cointegration technique that overcomes the common roblems of the static an moifie OLS. he static OLS finite samle estimates of long-run relationshis are otentially biase an inferences cannot be rawn using t-statistics Banerjee, Henry & Smith 986, Kremers, Ericsson & Dolao 99. DOLS methoology is base on an equation that inclues lags an leas of right-han sie variables, which eliminates the effect of the enogeneity of these variables. herefore, it is ossible to construct asymtotically-vali test statistics an also to estimate the long-run relationshis. Panel DOLS PDOLS has been analyze by Kao & Chiang 000 an ark & Sul 003. Kao & Chiang 000 stuy the roerties of anel DOLS when there are fixe effects in the cointegration regressions. ark & Sul 003 allow for iniviual heterogeneity through ifferent short-run ynamics, iniviual-secific fixe effects an iniviual-secific time trens. hey also ermit a limite egree of cross-sectional eenence through the resence of time-secific effects. Panel analysis usually emloys two imensions, being time one of them. However, given the great availability of ata nowaays two imensions are not always enough, in these cases, a anel in three imensions is a relevant otion. hese methoologies are very useful as they moel the heterogeneity of the ata in a more rigorous way. Some emirical alication of anels in three imensions can be foun in Eilat & Einav 004, Davies 006 an Davies, Lahiri & Sheng 0, among others. For extening the results of ark & Sul 003 to a three imensions setu, we use a balance anel of three imensions with lengths N, an. he cointegration vector is homogeneous across iniviuals but we allow for iniviual heterogeneity using ifferent short-run ynamics, iniviual-secific fixe effects an iniviual-secific time trens. Both iniviual effects are consiere in the first two imensions. As in ark & Sul 003, we also moel some egree of cross-sectional eenence using time-secific effects. After obtaining the Panel he three imensions in Eilat & Einav 004 are time, country of origin an country of estination, in Davies 006 an Davies et al. 0 are iniviual, forecast horizon an forecast target erio of time.

3 3D-Panel Cointegration Vector Estimation 47 DOLS estimator in three imensions, PDOLS-3D, we resent the sequential limit istribution of the estimator by first letting, then letting N,. Finally, to evaluate the small samle roerties of the PDOLS-3D t-tests, onte Carlo exeriments are imlemente. he remainer of the aer is organize as follows. Section escribes the cointegration reresentation for a three-imensional anel. Section 3 escribes the PDOLS-3D estimator. he asymtotic istribution of this estimator is resente in Section 4. A onte Carlo exeriment is imlemente in Section 5. Section 6 shows an emirical alication of this methoology. Finally, some concluing remarks are resente in Section 7.. Reresentation of a Cointegrate oel in Panel Data in hree Dimensions Consier the following triangular reresentation of a cointegrate system for a anel with iniviuals inexe by i =,..., N an j =,..., over time erios t =,..., y ijt = α N i α j λ N i t λ j t θ t γ x ijt u ijt x ijt = x ijt v ijt where {y ijt } is the eenent variable integrate of orer one, {x ijt } is a k- imensional vector of integrate series of orer one an {u ijt, v ijt } is a covariance stationary error rocess ineenent across i an j but ossibly eenent across t. In this case, the variables are sai to be cointegrate for each member of the anel, with cointegrate vector γ. Iniviual heterogeneity is consiere through ifferent short-run ynamics, iniviual-secific fixe effects of the first two imensions, α N i λ N i an λ j an α j, an iniviual-secific time trens in those imensions,. A limite egree of cross-sectional eenence is also ermitte by the resence of time-secific effects, θ t. In this notation, N an inicate the first an secon imension, resectively. On the other han, N an inicate the number of iniviuals in the the first an secon imension, resectively. 3. Panel DOLS Estimator in hree Dimensions PDOLS methoology is base on the estimation of the following equation y ijt = α N i α j λ N i t λ j t θ t γ x ijt δ i z ijt u ijt where z ijt = x ijt,..., x ijt,..., x ijt is a k-imensional vector of leas an lags of the first ifferences of the variables x ijt. he inclusion of lags an leas eliminates the effect of the enogeneity of these variables. o avoi erfect collinearity, α = λ = 0. Equation can be exresse as follows, y ijt = αn i α j λ N i t λ j t θ t γ x ijt u ijt 3 Revista Colombiana e Estaística

As can be seen in the secification of the DGP, both regressors are riftless I rocesses. he equilibrium error is moele to allow for a general form of Cross-Sectional Deenence CSD, where the CSD is inuce by θ t, while φ controls the egree of Cross-Sectional Deenence. he arameters θ t an θ 3t cause cross-sectional enogeneity between the regressors an the equilibrium error. he cointegration vector is simulate as γ, γ = 0.5, he values A,ij an σ hij, for each i an j, are extracte from a uniform istribution, an are ket constant throughout the exeriment. Different levels of ersistence in the short-run ynamics are obtaine by varying the limits of the uniform istribution from which the elements of A ij are rawn. hree levels of ersistence are consiere: low, A,ij U 0.3,0.5, meium, A,ij U 0.5,0.7, an high, A,ij U 0.7,0.9. Aitionally, ifferent values of φ are use in the simulations: φ = 0 for no CSD, φ = 0.3 for low CSD, an φ = 0.7 for high CSD. Other arameters use in the simulation are as follows: A,ij U -0.05,0.5, A,ij U -0.05,0.5, A 3,ij U -0.05,0.5, A 3,ij U -0.05,0.5, A 3,ij U -0.05,0.5, A 3,ij U -0.05,0.5, A,ij U 0.0,0.4, A 33,ij U 0.0,0.4, σ,ij U 0 3,53 0 3, σ,ij U , , σ 3,ij U.3 0 3, ; an σ θ =.8, σ θ = 0.645, σ θ 3 =.0 for i =,..., N, j =,...,. he rewhitene quaratic sectral methoology roose by Sul, Phillis & Choi 005 was use for estimating the long-run variances Ω uu,ij. he values of the iniviual-secific fixe effects of the first two imensions, α i an α j, are taken from the PDOLS-3D estimation with the ata in Iregui et al he simulation structure inclues,000 samles of size N = 9, = 8, an = 50 or = 00 or = 50. he number of leas an lags of x ijt inclue in the PDOLS-3D estimation is taken as two. hen, three cases are evaluate: Case : No CSD φ = 0, with low, meium an high ersistence levels. Case : Homogeneous CSD A,ij = A,lk, for i, l =,..., N, j, k =,...,, with low an high CSD egrees φ = 0.3, φ = 0.7; an with low, meium an high ersistence levels. Revista Colombiana e Estaística

Uner low levels of ersistence, the tests effective sizes are fairly accurate; nevertheless, the results for H 0 : γ = 0.85 are slightly better than those for H 0 : γ = 0.5. For meium levels of ersistence, there is a loss of size accuracy of the tests relative to low ersistence levels, in nominal sizes of both 0% an 5%. For high levels of ersistence, the test sizes for both γ an γ are notably smaller than their nominal sizes. able shows the results obtaine for Case with = 00. Uner meium an high levels of ersistence, the effective sizes are closer to the nominal sizes than they were when = 50. When = 00 the tests for low levels of ersistence are not as accurate as those for = 50. However, the results are not very ifferent. he results for Case with = 50, resente in able 3, are very similar to the ones obtaine for = 00. able : Effective size of PDOLS-3D tests for Case, with = 00.

When the CSD egree is low, the test for γ is accurate at low levels of ersistence, an effective size becomes smaller when ersistence increases to meium an high levels. For γ, the test is mis-size when the ersistence is low, an its effective size ecreases when the ersistence reaches meium an high levels. Revista Colombiana e Estaística

However, there are some cases with no imrovement for γ. hese gains are also obtaine uner high CSD for most of the cases. For = 50 able 9, size istortions are, in general, smaller. In conclusion, there are four relevant observations relate to the simulation exeriments. First, nominal an effective sizes are, in general, close enough. Secon, ersistence levels an size are negatively relate; as the level of ersistence is increase, effective size systematically ecreases. hir, the results of the effective size in Cases an 3 are relatively similar, which inicates that subtracting the cross-sectional average is an effective way to control CSD, even in the resence of heterogeneous CSD. Finally, as execte, increasing the time imension, in general, imroves the accuracy of the tests. Revista Colombiana e Estaística

15 3D-Panel Cointegration Vector Estimation Emirical Alication As an emirical exercise, we estimate caital an labor elasticities associate with the total factor rouctivity for the Colombian inustry. his exercise is useful, since rouctivity is a variable that reflects how efficiently an economy uses its resources to rouce goos an services an hels to etermine the istribution of value ae between caital an labor. Assuming a Cobb-Douglas rouction function, we obtain the following equation for value ae: Y ijt = A ij K α ijtl β ijt where Y is value ae, K is caital stock, L is labor, A corresons to total factor rouctivity, α an β are the elasticities of caital an labor, resectively, an α β =. he subscrits i, j an t reresent metroolitan areas, inustry sectors an time, resectively. aking logarithms on both sies of equation we get: ln Y ijt = ln A ij α ln K ijt β ln L ijt o estimate equation we emloy the ataset use in Iregui et al hey use ata from the annual manufacturing inustry survey EA of the national aministrative eartment of statistics DANE. he value ae is calculate as the ifference between gross outut an intermeiate inuts, where the latter corresons to the value of omestic an foreign consume raw materials an the value of urchase electricity kw/h. Labor is efine as the number of emloyees. An finally, caital stock was calculate using the eretual inventory metho for gross investment 3. his ata inclues annual information for 9 metroolitan areas an 8 inustrial sectors three-igits CIIU from 975 to 000. he metroolitan areas consiere are: Bogotá, Cali, eellín, anizales, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Pereira an Cartagena an the rest of the country. he estimate arameters of are resente in able 0. As inicate in section 3, these estimations are obtaine controlling for iniviual-secific fixe effects in the metroolitan areas an inustrial sector imensions, iniviual-secific time trens in those imensions an cross-sectional eenence. hese results show that the elasticities of caital an labor are 0.4 an 0.76, resectively. hese elasticities are similar to those foun in Colombian literature. For examle, a technical ocument from Secretaría e Haciena Distrital 003 estimate coefficients of 0.7 an 0.7 for caital an labor, resectively; an Eslava, Haltiwanger, Kugler & Kugler 004 foun elasticities of 0.3 for caital an 0.74 for labor for the erio his ata is in 994 Colombian esos.

Parameter Estimation Stanar Error α β his aer extens the asymtotic results of the ynamic orinary least squares cointegration vector estimator of ark & Sul 003 to a three imensional anel PDOLS-3D. his metho allows for iniviual heterogeneity using ifferent short-run ynamics, iniviual-secific fixe effects an iniviual secific time trens. Also some egree of cross-sectional eenence is consiere by the use of time-secific effects. A convenient feature of this metho is that it ermits the construction of asymtotically-vali test statistics for hyothesis testing. he roose estimators have also accetable finite samle roerties. hroughout the onte Carlo exeriments it was foun that the effective sizes of the PDOLS-3D t-tests are relatively close to the nominal sizes, for ifferent ersistence levels of the series, an ifferent forms an egrees of cross-sectional eenence.
