Abstract

Castagnetti, Rossi and Trapani (2014) propose two max-type statistics to test for the presence of a factor structure in a large stationary panel data model. We investigate the use of alternative approaches as average-type and Hausman-type statistics. We show that both approaches can not be used. The average-type statistics diverge under the null, while the tests based on the Hausman principle are inconsistent.
