In Tables 5 and 6, the estimated cointegrating equations for the logarithm of real exchange
rate for Poland and Russia are presented. The t-statistics are in parentheses. Specification 1 in
each table is the initial specification. In order to correct for possible serial correlation and
simultaneity bias the equations are re-specified with DOLS. Specification 2 is the final result. To
confirm that the vector of the estimated coefficients is a cointegrating vector, ADF and Phillips-
Perron unit root tests are conducted on the residual series. The relevant critical values are
obtained from Philips and Ouliaris (1990, Table IIc). The tests strongly reject the null hypothesis
