Thanks again for your reply.
I think I will use the dfuller, lags(#) command as I think that is sufficient for the test I am lookinf to do
Just one question though. I was made aware that I dont need to include a lags(#) term for the Phillips-Perron test does not need the lagged values.
Is this correct?
Thank you
Regards
Ihtesham
