Olga I am no statistician but I thought that for xtfisher, the null
hypothesis is the existence of a unit root; a significant test statistic
means that you can reject the null hypothesis, and thus that there is no
unit root.  Your discussion below suggests that you understand the
interpretation of the xtfisher test to be the opposite.

Subject: st: xtfisher vs pescadf results

Dear Stata users,

I am confused. I am trying to run a panel unit root test and I am
getting 
different results from xtfisher and pescadf. Why is that? I am attaching
an 
output below that compares the two.

Can somebody point me to the potential mistake? I need to run panel unit

root test that allows for cross sectional dependence, thus pescadf would
be 
my choice, but I am not understanding the output correctly it seems.

thank you,

whats going on? I used also the nodemean with pescadf, but the results
were 
the same.
