ADF tests and cointegration inquiry
I want to run this estimation :ls loggdp c loggdp(-1) logdt(-1) , where loggdp is calculated in excel as well as logdt which is the log of Debt/GDP. in this estimation I am asked to investigate whether there is a unit root(Dickey- Fuller test) and cointegration. I wanted to ask you how to do this. Until now I found the residuals and then I made the latter tests but I dont think that my findings are correct. thank you in advance for your assistance.

Re: ADF tests and cointegration inquiry
User Guide II (EViews Eight) - p.471 for Unit Root tests and p.849 for cointegration testing. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to help!

Re: ADF tests and cointegration inquiry
• yt = β0 + β1 yt-1 + β2 dt-1 + ε3t ,where yt = log(GDP) and dt= Debt /GDP
i want to test whether this has a unit root or not. all numbers are known except the disturbance term ofcourse .
i ran it with the ls command and then i cannot make the ADF test. I know we have to check when 1- β1L is 0 and i know the proceedures explained in the tutorials but the outcome isn't what i want.i dont wish to run an ADF test in log(gdp) and its lags soley and separately.
Am I using the wrong test or am I doing it wrong in the first place? What is the exact procedure that i must follow?
Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you again for your time.

Re: ADF tests and cointegration inquiry
I am confused as to the question: You cannot run ADF tests on an equation, only on a series. Do you mean you want to run an ADF test on the residuals (some kind of Engle Granger 2 step approach to cointegration?), or do you want to run the test on the variables in your equation?

Re: ADF tests and cointegration inquiry
there is a test that refers to common unit root. I examined all the variables about unit roots and their differences but the question is whether i can come to a conclusion with this:
Null Hypothesis: Unit root (common unit root process)
Series: LOGGDP, LOGGDP(-1), DEBT_GDP(-1)
Sample: 1948 2014
Exogenous variables: None

Automatic lag length selection based on SIC: 0 to 3

P.S. Do I have homoskedasticity as an outcome from the following White test?

Re: ADF tests and cointegration inquiry
For the Levin-Lin-Chu Test (LLC) test:
H0: each time series contains a unit root
H1: each time series is stationary
Look at your p-values and make your conclusion accordingly.
