-pperron- does not use lags to correct for serial correlation in the
Dickey-Fuller regressions and instead uses a Newey-West type robust
variance-covariance matrix to calulate the standard errors. However,
please see [TS] pperron documentation for cases when the
Phillips-Perron test is not applicable.

If you are going to use -dfuller-, you might look at -varsoc- for
lag-length selection.

You also do not specify a trend or drift terms in your -dfuller-. You
need to be sure that this is indeed the case, a very good preliminary
strategy is to visualise the data to see if there is a deterministic
trend in it.
