Hi All,

I have performed the modified ADF on my variable using the
Code:
dfgls
At level I get this


DF-GLS for lgdp2 Number of obs = 16
Maxlag = 8 chosen by Schwert criterion

1. Am I correct in saying that at level there is presence of unit root given that the absolute value of the t stat is less than absolute critical values at 1, 5 and 10% while at the first difference the variable is made stationary and the null is rejected at 1, 5 and 10%?

2. since the dfgls already includes the trend in the above, is there a way to run it can so as to show results that are based on inclusion of trend and intercept

3. when I run the ADF, the var is only stationary at 10%. Is it ok if I present my data showing the for the ADF test the var is only stationary at 10 while for the modified ADF at 1, 5 and 10%, there I assume this variable is stationary and proceed to run regressions?
