AbstractThis paper studies the performance of panel unit root tests when spatial effects are present that account for cross‐section correlation. Monte Carlo simulations show that there can be considerable size distortions in panel unit root tests when the true specification exhibits spatial error correlation. These tests are applied to a panel data set on net real income from the 1000 largest French communes observed over the period 1985–1998. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
