Monte Carlo studies suggest that choosing the lag order (p) of the unit
root tests according to the formula: Int {12(*T */100)1/ 4} where T* *is
the number of observations (Harris, 1992). For example sample period chosen
is 1985:01-2009:04 where T = 100 and thus, Int {12(100/100)1/4} = 12

Dickey-Fuller test: Some issues relating to the size, power and the lag
structure of the test”, *Economics Letters, *Vol. * *38, No. 4, pp. 381-386.

how do you choose optimal lag while carrying out ADF test in Gretl?
