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 lag length chosen by 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.

Tables 1 and 2 indicate that the series are either stationary or difference stationary. The real
exchange rate is found to be difference stationary for both countries, and the macroeconomic
