Note(s): The Mackinnon (1996) critical values for ADF test are used. Critical values with C (C + T) at the 5% significance are −2.92 (−3.49) and at the 1% significance is −3.56 (−4.14). The critical values for KPSS with C (C + T) at the 5% significance are 0.463 (0.15) and at the 1% significance is 0.739 (0.22). a and b indicate significance at 1%, 5% and 10%, respectively. KPSS, Kwiatkowski et al. (1992, Table 1) refers to testing the null hypothesis of stationarity against the alternative of unit root. C = constant and C + T = constant and trend
