on the model with a drift only. The unit root null hypothesis is rejected at conventional levels
for all series in first differences.

The critical values for 0.95 (0.99) confidence levels with constant are -1.944 (-2.592), with constant and trend
are -3.074 (-3.633). The Akaike Information Criteria was used to determine the lag length.

Because the graphical analysis suggests the possibility of structural breaks, that are not
accounted for by the DF-GLS tests, the Zivot-Andrews unit root test in the presence of
structural breaks is used to double-check the series (table 3).

the lag length.
