Program and Data Files

This program replicates the empirical work reported in the above paper.

The file has several procedures:
(1) UR_REG produces the coefficient and studentized statistics for unit roots outlined in the above paper
(2) LR_VAR calculates a "Long-Run Variance" for a vector-valued series, using the suggestions of Andrews (1991)
(3) UR_CRITS gives asymptotic critical values for the unit root tests
(4) UR_ADF calculates ADF unit root tests.
