Unlike earlier unit-root tests, these test the null ofstationarity against the alternative ofa unitroot, thereby reversing the usual burden ofproof We also examine the consequences ofusing the Kwiatkowski, Phillips and Schmidt test in conjunction with a standard unit-root test. These results suggest that thefrequency ofincorrect conclusions may be decreased relative to the application of only standard unit-root tests. Also, such a joint testing procedure may in some cases permit researchers to be more confident about their tests’ results.}, url = {http://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/669}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.34989/swp-1992-7}, }
