Numerical Distribution Functions For Unit Root And Cointegration Tests

James MacKinnon

No 918, Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper employs response surface regressions based on simulation experiments to calculate distribution functions for some well-known unit root and cointegration test statistics. The principal contributions of the paper are a set of data files that contain estimated response surface coefficients and a computer program for utilizing them. This program, which is freely available via the Internet, can easily be used to calculate both asymptotic and finite-sample critical values and P values for any of the tests. Graphs of some of the tabulated distribution functions are provided. There is also an empirical example.
