Real Exchange Rate Misalignment: Prelude to Crisis?



the null hypothesis is the existence of a unit root, i.e. the series (at the level or at the first

difference) is non-stationary. A low p-value indicates stationarity.

1 Test equations were chosen with or without intercept and/or trend terms depending on the
P-value of the t-statistics in the test equation.

2 k is the optimal lag length indicated by the Schwartz Information criterion from a maximum
length of 12.

3 S is ‘stationary’ and N is ‘non-stationary’, as indicated by the corresponding test statistic at
5% level of significance.

4 b is the bandwidth chosen by the Newey-West bandwidth criterion.
