The Common Correlated Effect (CCE) estimator is widely used in panel data models to address cross-sectional dependence, particularly in nonstationary panels. However, existing estimators have limitations, especially in small-sample settings. This study refines the CCE estimator by introducing new proxy variables and testing them through a comprehensive set of simulations. The proposed method is simple yet effective, aiming to improve the handling of cross-sectional dependence. Simulation results show that the refined estimator eliminates cross-sectional dependence more effectively than the original CCE, with improved power properties under both weak- and strong-dependence scenarios. The refined estimator performs particularly well in small sample sizes. These findings offer a more robust framework for panel unit root testing, enhancing the reliability of CCE estimators and contributing to further developments in addressing cross-sectional dependence in panel data models. |
