Note: The entries of the Table report the estimated bias and root mean
squared error (RMSE) of the cointegration parameter
b based on 5000 replica-
tion of the model (16). “two-step” indicates the two-step estimator suggested
in Section 3, “FM-OLS” denotes the Fully-modified panel cointegration esti-
mator suggested by Pedroni (1996), “DOLS” is the dynamic OLS estimator of
Kao and Chiang (2000), and “OLS” indicates the ordinary least-squares esti-
mator of the pooled model, where the first variable is regressed on the second
variable.
