Nonlinear PP Unit Root Test
The Nonlinear Phillips-Perron unit root test extends the classic PP test by allowing the adjustment toward equilibrium to follow a nonlinear path — such as a smooth transition or threshold mechanism — rather than assuming a constant linear speed of adjustment. This makes it more powerful when the true data-generating process involves regime-dependent or asymmetric mean-reversion dynamics.
