Notes: This table examines whether the primary surplus (sit) and debt (dit) are
nonstationary for emerging economies. Bold and a star (*) indicate significant
at the 5% level. An information criterion from Bai and Ng (2002) suggests a
factor is appropriate. We use annual data 1990 to 2005 (
N=27, T=16).
