In this paper, we propose a new diagnostic test for residual cross-section uncorrelatedness (CU) in a nonparametric panel data model. The proposed nonparametric CU test is a nonparametric counterpart of an existing parametric cross-section dependence test proposed in Pesaran (2004, Cambridge Working paper in Economics 0435). Without assuming cross-section independence, we establish asymptotic distribution for the proposed test statistic for the case where both the cross-section dimension and the time dimension go to infinity simultaneously, and then analyze the power function of the proposed test under a sequence of local alternatives that involve a nonlinear multifactor model. The simulation results and real data analysis show that the nonparametric CU test associated with an asymptotic critical value works well.
