ADF tests are conducted on the log of the ten-year US government bond interest rate using data from 1988 until the end of 2017. The results of the ADF with different configurations of the deterministic terms are reported in the table below. The final three columns report the number of lags included in the test as selected using the AIC and the 5% and 1% critical values that are appropriate for the sample size and included deterministic terms. Do interest rates contain a unit root?

The first step is to select the appropriate model to use. For these, the statistical significance of the parameters for the constant and trend must be taken into account.
For the trend model, both of these have t-stats with absolute values >4, well within the bounds of statistical significance at even the 99% level. Accordingly, the proper model to study is the last one. For this model, the t-stat on is to the right of the 1% CV—therefore, the null hypothesis of having a unit root is rejected at the 99% confidence level. Note that if the proper model were either the constant or no-trend then the null hypothesis would not be rejected.
For this model, the t-stat on \gamma
γ is to the right of the 1% CV—therefore, the null hypothesis of having a unit root is rejected at the 99% confidence level.
为什么是1% CV的右边 ,难道表格中的t检验结果,-4不是在-3.9的左边???
