TSADVROOT: Stata module providing advanced time-series unit-root tests

Abstract: tsadvroot is a library of modern univariate unit-root tests that go beyond the classical Dickey-Fuller framework in two directions: 1. Quantile-based testing. The qadf and fqadf subcommands test the unit-root hypothesis across the conditional quantiles of the series, so that persistence may differ in the lower, central and upper parts of the conditional distribution. fqadf additionally allows smooth structural changes of unknown form through a flexible Fourier component. 2. Structural breaks. The npadf subcommand allows two sharp breaks at unknown dates (in the level, or in the level and slope), and cisur implements the full Carrion-i-Silvestre, Kim and Perron (2009) battery of quasi-GLS-detrended tests with up to 3 estimated (or 5 known) breaks, with critical values from the authors' response surfaces.
