MacKinnon then p-values for both must be the seme. Please take a look at MacKinnon's 1996 article. The distributions, and hence the p-values, are *not* the same in the two cases of (a) a "stand-alone" ADF test on a single time-series and (b) an EG test based on the residuals from a cointegrating regression. In the latter case the distribution of what MacKinnon calls the tau statistic depends on the number of (possibly) cointegrated variables.
