Notes: For the ADF tests, the lag length is automatically selected based on AIC. The only exogenous
variable in the first-differenced model is a constant, while the test in levels also includes a time trend.
The null hypothesis states that the time series has a unit root. The test statistics are compared with
MacKinnon (1996) one-sided p-values. *** (**) (*) denotes rejection of the null hypothesis at the 0.99
(0.95) (0.90) level.
For the KPSS tests, the bandwidth is automatically selected based on a Newey-West using a Bartlett
kernel. The only exogenous variable in the first-differenced model is a constant, while the test in levels
also includes a time trend. The null hypothesis states that the time series is (trend-) stationary. The test
statistics are compared with the critical values from Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (1992, Table
1). *** (**) (*) denotes rejection of the null hypothesis at the 0.99 (0.95) (0.90) level.
