Stata Tutorial: Basic Unit Root Test 

I am absolutely amazed at how someone can be so articulate in their explanation of this topic. You have helped me run my entire analysis for my MSc dissertation. THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU!

Wonderful session through this tutorial. Thank you,

thank you very much! you just helped me with my finals (and i would probably use this for my thesis as well). subscribed!

Helpful video! Thank you

What if it is stationary at lower lag and not stationary at higher lag

Actually i get worried about in which situation i should select noconstant, with trend and with drift term during adf test

Emeğinize sağlık hocam, teşekkürler! 👍

Hello sir, could you please explain how to interpret the phillips perron test with Stata

Dear Mike, thanks for teaching me in particular. Could you kindly help me how I can use covariate augmented Dicker-Fuller in Stata. Thanks.

Good content! Subbed. Could I suggest a higher resolution on the videos? Thank you for making these videos available to us.

Super helpful, thank you!

I cannot duplicate the result in this video. When downloading freduse SP500, the number of observations is different. So as the result is different and fuller SP500, the command of dfuller, trend regress does not give the significant result. Please check again. Thank you Mike!

Thanks for the nice tutorial. Please can you help me with how to do the ADF test with trend and intercept?

Excellent video!

Great video, what happens when the variable you're trying to test on is a first-difference?

Thanks for the video, good introduction! How do you decide on how many days of lag you test to see whether value changes? You only test 1 and 2, is this enough compared to the 2500 observations in the data set? I've read about some "rule of thumb" somewhere else...

Thank you very much for the video! I would like to ask should we use the created variables (e.g., variables generated with first differences) after getting rid of unit roots in our main regressions? That part is confusing me.

Thank you sir, do you have any tutorial of conducting Phillip perron test in stata?

Thank you so much

It is actual very interesting presentation , may I ask you one question ! if yes How many lag difference is appropriate to under take unit root test ,given the optimal lag length is 2 .

Hi thank you for the great video! is there a command to export the unit-roots tests onto word or excel?

Hi Mike, Thank you again for the video!! I would love to watch a video based on FGLS. Do you have in mind making one anytime soon?

thanks for the video. Just a question, if we get that we reject but we have included a trend in the test, then we should detrend the variable in order to be stationary no?. Also if we include the drift, what should we do?, thank you in advance

I have a question please help me ; I have a export data but ı reach the trend stationary process, so can I use this data for VAR analysis? how can I transform the trend stationary process to sationary process

YOU ARE AMAZING SIR! love your videos, they are so so helpful. I am going to use GARCH model so its fine for my data to be non-stationary right?

Hi, Thanks for the video. I run Breusch-Pagan with chi2(1) = 19.55 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000 and a White chi2(14) = 322.87 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000 Should I reject the null hyp? So does my modell show heteroskedasticity?

Can you do unit root test for panel data?

How to do this in case of a Probit model? The command "predict resid, residuals" gives an error in case of a probit model. Thanks!

Sir,would you tell me the stata command for granger causality tests in ARDL ?

Thank you so much. how to do the second difference if its not yet stationary after the first ? what is the command?

Hi Mike, how can I go about Unit root tests with covariates and bootstrap CADF test?

Hi Mike, thanks for the video!!! I've a request, how do you test for structural breaks in time serie data using Bai and perron test in stata?

If the random errors are not white noise what could i do then?

Thanks for making this video. I probably shouldn't be, but I'm always a little befuddled by the difference between drift and trend, and when to include them in the model... Am I right in thinking that (assuming a positive trend in our series) both manifest themselves in an upward slope? Given the way that time enters into the difference equation at 4mins44 surely this would lead to some sort of exponential growth in the SP500 series, and I would have assumed that this would manifest itself in the time plot of the differenced SP500 as an upward trend. Your comments would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, your video is wonderful! I just have a quick question here. When i type in the command dfuller *variable*, drift lags(1) regress, the absolute value of the test statistic is greater the the absolute value of the 5% critical value. Does this mean I can say that my time series is stationary?

Hello. Good video. Thanks for sharing. I have a question. You used the dependent variable all the time right? and not the independent variable?

Hi Mike, This was really helpful...Could you do one for panel unit root testing---or if you have already, direct me to it? I'm not including a lagged DV in my panel analysis, so I'm a bit confused as to whether running a unit root test on my panel is necessary. I'm also really confused about how I'm supposed to select the lag structure. I'm using a dicky-fuller test which won't let me use the AIC or BIC protocol, so I have to select a number of lags---but I don't have a predetermined number of lags that I think should be included.

thank you so much but how can we do all this with 2 variable and compare them??
