Abstract
⺠We study US state unemployment rates allowing for cross-section dependence. ⺠The PANIC method is used to separate the common and idiosyncratic components. ⺠We implement a more powerful RMA-based unit root test for these components. ⺠Including the data from recent recession yields a nonstationary common component. ⺠Even when stationarity is supported, the bias-corrected half-life appears very long.
