Note(s): This table shows the results of the unit root and cointegration tests of each variable from the second quarter of 1995 to the fourth quarter of 2020 data. The unit root test was performed based on the augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) test. The null hypothesis for the ADF test is “the unit root exists in the data,” and *** indicates a statistical significance level of 1%. The constant variable includes only the constant figure in the unit root test, and the “constant + trend” represents the constant and the time trend. The null hypothesis in the cointegration test is “no cointegration vector exists”
