  1. Note: LLC denotes the test proposed by Levin et  al. (2003), IPS is the Im et  al. (2003) test, CADF is the test proposed by Pesaran (2007). All unit root tests include a  constant term; optimal lag length selected according to the AIC information criterion for the LLC and IPS test. The Pesaran CADF test includes one lag and a  potential time trend in the estimation equation.
