Notes:
In (a), the UEC model is estimated with a constant for all regions. The lag order is selected with AIC and further adjustment when necessarily to correct for serial correlation and dynamic stability of autoregressive structure of the UEC model. χ2SC(m) is the m-order LM residual serial correlation test of the estimated ARDL model. The critical values are taken from Table CI(iii) and and CII(iii) of Pesaran et al. (2001), with k = 3; For the regression estimates in (b), the residual standard error = 0.02, multiple R-squared = 0.46 and the adjusted R-squared = 0.39. Statistical significance is denoted by;
∗, ∗∗ and ∗∗∗ at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively
