摘要
We apply unit root tests that allow for two endogenous break points in the unemployment rates of 26 OECD countries. Our results show that unit root tests that do not account for structural breaks are misspecified and suggest excessive persistence. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
