Σύνοψη	Structural break panel data analysis detects and estimates points in time — break dates — where the underlying regression coefficients shift permanently across a panel of cross-sectional units observed over multiple periods. By jointly exploiting cross-sectional and time-series variation, it offers sharper identification of regime shifts than single-series break tests, and it delivers separate coefficient estimates for each regime before and after each break.	Panel cointegration tests check whether a set of integrated variables share a stable long-run equilibrium relationship across a panel of cross-sectional units. Pedroni (1999, 2004) provides heterogeneous-panel tests with seven statistics, Kao (1999) gives an ADF-based homogeneous-panel test, and Westerlund (2007) adds error-correction-based tests robust to structural breaks and cross-sectional dependence.
