Non-stationarity Tests in Macroeconomic Time Series

  • Chapter
New Trends in Macroeconomics

Summary

This paper presents a selective survey of the literature on non-stationarity tests, namely standard and efficient unit root tests and stationarity tests, with or without structural changes. We also present the direct relation between non-stationarity tests and four economic theories, such as business cycles, hysteresis, purchasing power parity and convergence.
