Robust Zivot-Andrews Test

The Robust Zivot-Andrews test extends the classic Zivot-Andrews (1992) unit root test to provide reliable inference when the error term may be heteroscedastic or non-normal. It tests whether a time series has a unit root while endogenously identifying a single structural break in the level, trend, or both, without requiring the researcher to pre-specify the break date.
