Infrequent permanent shocks and the finite-sample performance of unit root tests

This paper examines the finite sample properties of Dickey-Fuller tests for unit roots when shocks occur infrequently. In this case the standard Dickey-Fuller critical values result in too many rejection of the unit root full hypothesis but the power of the Dickey-Fuller test is not dramatically alt...
