Note(s): * indicates lag order selected by the criterion. LR: sequential modified LR test statistic (each test at 5% level); FPE: Final prediction error; AIC: Akaike information criterion; SC: Schwarz information criterion; HQ: Hannan-Quinn information criterion. Also, *, **, and *** indicate the rejection of the null hypothesis of non-stationary at 10%, 5%, and 1% significance levels
