Levin-Lin-Chu Test

The Levin-Lin-Chu (LLC) test, introduced by Levin, Lin, and Chu (2002), is a first-generation panel unit-root test that pools cross-sectional information to test whether all units in a panel share a common autoregressive unit root. It is widely used in applied economics and finance when researchers work with balanced or near-balanced panels and require a powerful test against a homogeneous stationary alternative.
