14.3. Using the same data as in Exercise 14.2, a researcher tests for a stochastic trend in ln(IPt), using the following regression:

where the standard errors shown in parentheses are computed using the homoskedasticity-only formula and the regressor t is a linear time trend.
a. Use the ADF statistic to test for a stochastic trend (unit root) in ln(IP).
b. Do these results support the specification used in Exercise 14.2?
