Abstract
This paper proposes a new panel unit root test based on the generalized method of moments approach for panels with a possibly small number of time periods, T, and a large number of cross-sectional units, N. In the model that we consider the deterministic trend function is essentially unrestricted and the errors obey a multi-factor structure that allows for rich forms of unobserved heterogeneity. In spite of these allowances, the GMM estimator considered is shown to be asymptotically unbiased,
