Përmbledhja	Driscoll-Kraay standard errors provide a nonparametric, heteroskedasticity- and autocorrelation-consistent (HAC) covariance estimator for balanced and unbalanced panel datasets. Introduced by Driscoll and Kraay in 1998, the method corrects inference when residuals exhibit cross-sectional dependence, serial autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity simultaneously—problems common in macroeconomic and international finance panels where units such as countries or industries share common shocks.	Newey-West HAC standard errors, introduced by Whitney Newey and Kenneth West in 1987, provide a covariance matrix estimator for OLS regression that remains valid under both heteroskedasticity and serial autocorrelation of unknown form. They are the standard tool for correcting inference in time-series and panel regression when residuals are not i.i.d., requiring no specification of the error structure beyond choosing a bandwidth parameter.	The Pesaran CD test is a general diagnostic procedure for detecting cross-sectional dependence in panel data models. Developed by M. Hashem Pesaran (2021), it is applicable to both balanced and unbalanced panels with large N and T, and retains validity under heterogeneous slope coefficients. The test is widely adopted in empirical economics, finance, and political economy as a prerequisite check before selecting appropriate estimators or unit-root tests for panel datasets.
