To go one step further, continue reading unit root tests. Unit root testing strategies are unnecessarily complicated because they do not exploit prior knowledge of the growth status of the time series, they worry about unrealistic outcomes, and they double or triple test for unit roots. Stationarity and unit root testing why do we need to test for nonstationarity.
