The test of stationary by Phillips and Perron (1988) 

Variablest-statisticsStationary or not
ENT−11.963***Stationary
NB−9.448***Stationary
ENTVN−2.289Non-stationary
D.ENTVN−15.640***Stationary
SU−7.442***Stationary
PERNUM−12.264***Stationary
PERCAP−13.464***Stationary

Notes:

*, ** and *** significant at 10%, 5% and 1% levels, respectively; because of ENTVN being non-stationary in significance level 1%, we use a further process for this variable by taking the first difference of ENTVN, which is considered as one typical way to deal with stochastic trends (unit root); D denotes “first-difference” for original time series
