Notes: intercept = break in intercept; trend = break in trend both = break in intercept and trend; *** = rejection of null at 1% significance level; ** = rejection of null at 5% significance level; null hypothesis of the test states unit root with a structural break in a specified part (intercept, trend, or both) of the variable.
